Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have just had a quotation for my policy renewal come through and note the price to have gone up again!

I am running a 1990 Turbo SE and the premium has gone up from £319 to £390 this year for 3000 limited miles.

I am also running an old volvo 480 ('89) just to get me up and back to work (£460 per year 3rd party).

Two Questions:
1. Can anybody suggest some competitive insurance companies for classic car insurance.
2. Can anybody suggest someone who would be willing to combine both my policies, so i can save some money.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Regards,

Liam

Yeah mine's due next month and Iam going to try classicline. If they are around the right ball park then I will use them. Currently with Footman James at the mo but they've added all sorts of extras to my policy which has gone up.
Also I believe that classicline don't mind modifications of classic cars so I'll be ok there and I've played with mine a bit.

thanks for the replies everybody. dictys put me onto espritworld. i rang classic line and they have quoted me about £215, i can't believe it!

i just need to check the small print. when i rang footman back the best they said they could do was £320.

anybody got anything further to add?

Oh with the volvo it needs to be 15 years old to combine the policies.

thanks everybody

When investigating the list above, all I can say after personal experience and that of several friends is DO NOT use any company linked to Adrian Flux
