Insurer recommendations

[stevejmorgan]

Hi All
I'm (hopefully} about to buy a 1998 Chimaera 4.0. It will be a 2nd car probably do 2-4k per year.
I had a tvr in the early 2000s and insured through Adrian Flux.
Just wondering if current owners can give any insurer recommendations and what I should reasonably expect in terms of premium for full comp. I'm not after the cheapest & will take service recommendations into account but nor do I want to get ripped off being mid-fifties and +20 years no claims.
Thanks in advance!
Steve

I'm with Footman James, 40's. Clean driving history. Pay about £300/yr on a Chimaera 4.0.

No idea what they are like to claim off though!

I've used FJ several times but they are expensive for me now, IMHO. They wanted £600 for my Griff. Writing a 2003 Mini off in June 2025 didn't help I expect. Lancaster, Peter James and Classicline may be worth a try too.

I got a very good quote from Aviva (£250), but using some NCD and insuring as a 'normal' car. I said 2k miles estimated, but the schedule says 4k miles when I took it out, they probably don't go any lower. I have several amounts of NCD built up on multiple cars over the years.

Hi, I've insured my Griff 500 with ClassicLine for £320 with an agreed valuation by the TVRCC, plus you get FREE Breakdown Cover included. Used them for many years, when owning other TVR's.

Thanks folks - really appreciate the suggestions - you've given me 3 of 4 to compare.
I'll update with what I go with!

Thanks again!
