Good demonstrations of the need to shop around. I have a 1990 XJS 3.6 coupe valued at £5,500, limited to 4,500 miles per year Footman James asked £254 to renew (have been with them 8 years); Adrian Flux quoted £189 with 5,000 annual miles; I told FJ about the Adrian Flux quote and they reduced to £2...
