What a shambles.
Today I managed to insure my 1994 build 130" Single cab. Talk about hard work.
My previous insurer AAMI didnt have it in their list of possible LR variants so declined to insure.
Turns out the vehicle list insurance companys use come from 'Glass's' which does not list a 130 Single cab/chassis variant. It has a 110 Single cab/chassis or a 130 Crew cab/chassis but alas no 130 Single cab chassis................sigh.
RACV on line has a different 'vehicle choice' list to the others. Amongst the various choices I could choose a 1994 Land Rover Defender Truck 2.5 or a 1994 Land Rover Defender Truck 2.5. Yes, both the same but one was $488.97 and the other $494.11 with exactly the same input details, including my GOLD rating..............double sigh.
Rang Shannons, no problem. Yes they had the same Glass's guide but were happy to annotate the 110 single cab/chassis selection with the fact that it is actually a 130 and noted the HD rear hub/axles. With a multi policy discount (OKA insured with them) came out $120 cheaper than RACV.
So all's well that ends well.
I know 130 single cabs are a bit uncommon but I wouldn't have thought so rare that they didn't exist for the insurance industry. Anyone else with a 130 single cab had similiar problems ?
