Car Insurance saving via manufacturer

After going through the whole palavar of getting insurance for my new car, I decided to contact the manufacturers Insurance department to get a quote.
10 minutes later and surprise surprise, they are £200 cheaper than any other insurer I could find, gave me £65 of Virgin Wine vouchers.
Plus the policy is a lot more generous than I could get elsewhere.
They were also prepapred to give me a 10% discount if there was another car by the same maker at the house (that's 10 % each).
My main point is that the manufacturers insurance is usually only available via the phone, so the Internet Insurance supermarket companies are unable to get quotes from them.
A result.

p.s. the insurance is underwritten by Norwich Union

In this case it is irrelevant whether it is Ford, Vauxhall, Nissan, Honda or Bentley.
My suggestion is that if a manufactuer offers the service then don't immediately dismiss it as a costly "option", instead give them a (usually freephone) call about it.
