Yes, they rejected me because I had two drivers in the house (my wife
and I) and only one daily driver car. By default they then assumed I
would drive the healey every day. It didn't matter that I lived
overseas and was only insuring the car as a very occasional driver...
they didn't care. To be honest I wasn't impressed with them, they
weren't very nice to me and they were very inflexible on their
standards. That being said I was probably treated poorly as a fluke,
everyone else they seem to treat very well.
