SORN'd vehicle insurance

Can anyone recommend a good company providing insurance for SORN'd cars? Had a completely bizarre quote from one company which was a premium of £118 BUT, the excess was £400, the total payout 'in the aggregate' was £500 meaning you'd be down £18 for starters less the value of the car if it was nicked or torched!??? Or maybe we're reading the quote wrong?

Cheers

    It's the same with any insurance, the higher the excess the lower the quote.

    Normally because the third party element is the most expensive and so by buying TFO cover in theory it is cheaper than buying comprehensive. The one countering factor is there is little demand for TFO (aka laid up) insurance and so prices are higher relative to the risk
