Best laid plans.....etc.

A few months ago I bought a silver 53 plate , leather seats , tidy , 12 months ticket a new boot area , new  Monroe shocks , decent AT Tyres .
drove over from Leeds absolutely right...This car is to be the family spare , but hey it's too nice for that so the 03 Cabrio is/ was to take that role and the silver one the daily driver .  To this end , it's parked at the stables , been serviced , kingpins and seals done , window deflectors fitted , centre console ...  So while my daughter used hers to make sure all issues were dealt with down south ....All good 
SO time to swap the insurance from the blue to the silver .....just a few minutes on line eh?   NO ....contact office between 9-6 ...what while I'm at work !    Anyway got a moment and got through....just registration change .....underwriters said no to silver car ...WHY ?   no idea , can't see reasons   Sorry can't insure it .   HPI check comes up with nothing ....but basically unless I can find out what the issue is I have to cancel my insurance with this provider and find one that has an underwriter that will ...but with 9 months left that's not an option.....sell it ...or keep it as an ornament .

any thoughts?

Just a possibility going back to when my 2CV was a daily drive - it's classed as a convertible and so some underwriters would not insure it or as a minimum the price went up. So is the silver one a soft top ?
THey should really tell you why.

It comes up as a Jimny Mode .

 

Has it recently changed from a private plate? When I sold Dreadnaught I retained the plate and that evidently had an impact on the buyer being able to insure it through the comparison sites even though I had the correct v5 and dvla were happy.

Lambert , it's a thought and while I don't think so as a receipt for the work done has this reg on , who's to say there wasn't an issue previously . Different providers have different underwriters and I may be unlucky ....
Could it have been ..say impounded before I bought it and that's still on a record ...
It is still showing as insured on the MIB ...so the last or a previous keeper still have it on a policy , effectively mean 2 policies on the same vehicle .( I have contacted the last keeper who didn't have it for long ...mmmmmm and he hasn't got a policy on it anymore )

Lambert maybe you've hit on summat here matey ....I bit the bullet and paid for a deeper hpi check...having tried again with the insurance company !
anyway , it isn't a write of it ain't nicked , no body owes on it , it not part of a security watch ....what the hell then amissed the write up a little triangle ( ignore the one about wrong issue date on V5 ...that was me not been able to work it out !) 
 

yep 4 plates have been on this vehicle ....judging by its condition and extras , I could see it having been owned by a personal plate chappie / chapess.

so what to do ?
