could try mannings or footman james (0121 561 6202) renewed my policy with mannings this year for £300 f.c with 6000 mile limit. think mannings number is in sprint. you have to be a member of tvrcc and have the car valued.the club can do this for you aswell for £10 if you send photos.hope this helps,
cheers

Are you looking for a limited mileage classic type policy, or standard everyday type cover? The answer to that will provide a good pointer as to who you should be talking to.

Classicline Insurance gave me the best quote. They use Royal Sun Alliance as backing.
My girlfriend is a Senior Claims controller for Cornhill and she read through all of the small print (she knows what to look for) and it all checks out, she said that it is even a bit better than standard insurance because they give you first offer on the wreck if it gets written off.

£242.00 premium
29 years old
2 years no claims
3 points
Garaged with an immobiliser
5000 miles per annum
Valued at £8000.00

I was amazed, it is cheaper than my Renault diesel.

Classic line are on 01455 639035

Blimey, that was all a bit quick! Looks like the water was a good temperature when Shnozz dipped his toe in!

And there was I hoping to make it along to a Hants TVRCC gathering to meet Shnozz (obviously assuming he was there) and take a look at his S. Doh!
