Where can I get short-term insurance for driving in Europe?

My UK car insurer will insure me, while in Europe, for 90 days as standard plus another 90 for an extra premium. I wish to be in Europe (Spain, France & Portugal only) for 270 days. Can you suggest an insurance company that would provide short term (90 day) cover for a UK-registered car in the EU?

Apparently SAGA offers year-round European cover.
