Excellent service from start to finish. The team took time to understand exactly what I needed and found me a great policy at a competitive price. Couldn't be happier with the whole experience.
Been with Chris Knott for over 5 years now. Easy renewal process and the team are always a pleasure to speak with. Proper UK-based advice you can actually trust.
After being let down by my previous insurer, Chris Knott made the whole process painless. Honest, straightforward, and friendly from the very first call. Highly recommend them.
Andy was brilliant - talked me through all the options clearly, no pressure, and found me a much better deal than the comparison sites. This is how insurance should be done.
I needed specialist cover for my classic Jaguar and Chris Knott sorted it quickly and at a great price. Really impressed with the level of knowledge and personal service.
Switched my home insurance after a recommendation from a friend. Very competitive premium and the whole thing was done in under 20 minutes. Very pleased with everything.
First-class service. I dealt with Emma who was patient, helpful and knew exactly what I needed for my thatched cottage. Got proper specialist cover, not a standard policy.
Genuinely good old-fashioned customer service. A real person who actually listens and helps you find the right cover. Wouldn't go anywhere else for my insurance now.
Had a claim last year and Chris Knott supported me throughout. Made a stressful situation much easier. Fair, fast, and professional - exactly what you want from a broker.
Renewed my multi-car policy today. Still the best value I've found anywhere and the team remembered me from last year. That personal touch really makes a difference.
Very helpful team, especially when I needed to add a modified vehicle to my policy. Talked me through everything and made sure I was properly covered. Excellent all round.
Chris Knott have been brilliant for my listed property - most insurers wouldn't touch it but they found me comprehensive cover at a sensible price. Grateful for their expertise.
Efficient, clear, and competitive. I ran through three comparison sites before calling Chris Knott and they beat them all. UK-based team made the whole thing painless.
Outstanding from start to finish. I've recommended Chris Knott to everyone I know - my parents, my sister, and even my colleagues. They never let anyone down.
The service is what sets Chris Knott apart. You get proper advice from people who understand insurance, not a script. Worth every penny and more.
Wiesmann represents the pinnacle of German craftsmanship, combining traditional coachbuilding techniques with modern BMW powertrains. Founded by brothers Martin and Friedhelm Wiesmann in 1988, the company has produced fewer than 2,000 vehicles throughout its entire history, making every Wiesmann extraordinarily rare.
The company’s motto “An Authentic Driving Experience” reflects their commitment to creating vehicles that prioritise driver engagement over mass market appeal. Each Wiesmann is essentially hand-built in Dülmen, Germany, with production numbers deliberately kept low to maintain exclusivity and quality.
This rarity, combined with the bespoke nature of each vehicle and the tailored knowledge required for maintenance and repair, creates unique challenges that require dedicated handling from your insurance provider.
Our specialist arrangements cover the complete range of Wiesmann vehicles, from the earliest Roadster models through to the latest Project Thunderball. Whether you own a piece of automotive artistry from the company's golden era or one of the newest creations, we have the expertise to arrange appropriate coverage.
For owners of the newest Wiesmann creations, including Project Thunderball and other recent developments, we understand that these vehicles represent the future of the brand whilst maintaining its core values of exclusivity and craftsmanship.
Understanding the elements that affect your costs helps you make informed decisions about coverage and risk management. Several factors impact the cost of insuring a Wiesmann:
Your driving record and experience with performance vehicles play a crucial role in determining your premium. Our insurers recognise that Wiesmann owners are typically experienced enthusiasts who appreciate the responsibility that comes with owning such distinctive machinery.
Many Wiesmann owners use their vehicles for weekend drives, touring, and special occasions rather than daily transportation. Our policies can be tailored to reflect this usage pattern, often resulting in more competitive premiums for low-mileage drivers.
Our comprehensive policies can be tailored to include a wide range of coverage options designed specifically for rare sports car ownership.
Many Wiesmann owners choose to enhance their vehicles through carefully selected modifications or factory options. Our policies can be adapted to cover these enhancements, ensuring that your investment in personalisation is properly protected.
It's essential to declare any modifications to your insurer, as these can affect both the value and risk profile of your vehicle. Our team works with you to understand your enhancements and ensure they are properly covered under your policy.

Wiesmanns were hand-built in small numbers at Dulmen, so there is no reliable trade guide for an MF3, MF4 or MF5. Insurers on our panel prefer a specialist valuation letter plus photos of the body, interior and running gear. Our UK-based team will help you gather the evidence and present it for a fair figure.
Yes. Agreed value is the only sensible basis for a car this rare, because a total loss settled at market value leaves you nowhere near the cost of replacing one. We arrange cover on a panel that agrees a sum insured up front, reviewed at each renewal so it keeps pace with a rising or stable market.
Most Wiesmanns in the UK have been privately imported from Germany. Insurers will ask for the V5C showing the car is registered in your name, the German COC or NOVA receipt, an MOT or IVA certificate where relevant, and proof of purchase. Our UK-based team works through this with you rather than leaving you to chase the detail.
Most owners trailer their Wiesmann rather than drive it on a damp road. We can arrange cover that extends to loading, transit on a covered trailer and unloading at a circuit or show, with a separate track day policy for the time on circuit. That keeps the main policy clean if anything happens in the paddock.
Yes. Very few owners cover more than 2,000 miles a year in a Wiesmann, so restricted-mileage policies at 1,500, 2,500 or 4,000 miles are widely available and materially cheaper than unlimited cover. Be realistic about your usage so you're not caught short on a European road trip.
Mainstream insurers don't have rating tables for a hand-built German sports car with BMW running gear and no mass-production parts supply. A specialist broker like Chris Knott arranges cover through insurers who understand hand-built exotics, agreed values, and repair routes that may involve parts shipped from Europe rather than a local bodyshop.
