Insurance quote

[marz92]

I'm sure that this has been raised before, but as you guys are always helpful just liked to return the favour with good prices.
I have just had a quote from Classic Line (most helpful on the phone!) regarding the renewal of my insurance for a 1990 S3 and wondered if this is as cheap as it gets considering the circumstances.
I am 43, owed the car for about a year, told them for insurance purposes the car was valued at £8,500 and wish to use it just for fun, (I do NOT use it to get to work etc.) Limited milage of 5,000. No engine modifications. I have no garage, NCB didn't count/matter. I told them that I live in a good area (small market town, group 9 out of a scale of 60, I was told) and was quoted today £295. English road cover is an additional £17. At present I have it with Footman James and currenty pay £395 with European road cover included. Rung a few other insurance companies in the latest edition of Sprint and either they would not insure me because of the lack of garage or their prices were way above £500. So conclusion I guess £295 is about as cheap as it gets for an S3 without a garage. What's your views?

I recently insured my Chim (cost a little more than your quote), but not having a garage and living in Leicester wasn't a problem at all.

Marz,
I posted on the S Forum regarding my quote from Liverpool Victoria. I thought it was excellent:

V8S NO mileage restriction - To and from work - 180 days European cover all for £286...and some pence!

I'm 54, no claims or convictions last 5 years - so a good record for the insurer, but the quote beat my present insurers by over £100.

hardly worth posting if you're down to £295?
