mmm... so, you pay to get a 'luxury car' then, insure it as such, and just have all the good stuff turned off, that'll not go down well with customers...

Quite - you are insuring stuff that the car is equipped with and may need replacing if the car is damaged, but you are not using it and maybe don't even know you've got it!

Quite an interesting one that, in the context of missing-out a critical piece of breakdown equipment in order to save weight (and therefore emissions). I'm talking about a proper spare wheel and the means to change it of course.
