ADRIAN FLUX
King’s Lynn
Specialty: Specialist Cars
“Classic car owners care deeply about their vehicles and want to ensure they get the right cover at a price that reflects the care and attention they lavish on their motors, and that they are not driving on a daily basis as everyday cars,” says Gerry Bucke, general manager of Adrian Flux, adding the brokerage can provide cover for “everything from an early Ford Escort to a Ferrari Testarossa”. And this is a big-money business – the hammer fell on a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO at Bonhams’ Quail Lodge auction recently at the dollar equivalent of £22.8m. Adrian Flux’s founder was actually a disabled driver, and finding it difficult to obtain competitively priced insurance with the cover he required, so decided in 1973 to set up a brokerage himself. But the company quickly expanded to offer cover for other specific motoring groups.
