Footman James - Classic policy with 5,000 mile limit = £189
More than happy with that.
For me that would mean £380 as 5000 miles would last me no more than 6 months. My 12 month policy through whoever AON use now is only a little over £400 with all mods declared and no mileage limit. I'm 44 which helps a bit.More than happy with that.
Try Peter James. I have the Vitesse & the Eunos on the same policy, myself & the missus & it only costs Me a paltry £102 fully comp, unlimited mileage too! I'm 38 though and I do have another daily hack.
Think they insure cars over 20 on a classic policy (the Eunos is an '89. They do insist they are garaged as well I think.
PS - The Vitesse & the missus are both the same age....

It was my insurance renewal which made me consider selling my mint Eunos...
Stuck out a tentative 'might sell' post on a forum and it was snapped up within 15 seconds!
(although still awaiting actual collection)
It was not so much wanting to sell or indeed the premium which prompted the sale, more the realisation that I was paying for something to sit in the garage largely unused

Ended up sticking it on a multicar policy with Admiral as my other car was already insured with them and they offered to mirror my full NCD as I only had 1 year NCD on the MX5. That brought the premium down a lot.
And did you know it is cheaper to insure a car if it is parked on the driveway than if it is parked in the garage. £50 cheaper in my case

Yep. My guess on why is, if it's in the garage someone can work at stealing it in privacy. You may also not realise it's gone for a day or two if you don't use it every day. And you are more likely to damage it by knocking something off a shelf and it hitting the car. Imagine knocking a tin of paint over and it falling into the car with the roof off...slop... 
Or scratching a set of ladders right down the side trying to stash them against the wall.On the drive it's just subject to footballs, cats, postmen, next doors kid on their bike, and really bad drivers..... so possibly it's just the being stolen thing.
Haha. I told the insurance company that I was going to keep the car on the drive as I didn't want to stump up the extra £50 they were going to charge me to put it in the garage, and received my policy documents today.
But I'm getting fed up having with the condensation in the mornings, and soon will have to scrape ice off the car, so I decided to phone them and tell them I am going to be putting it in the garage now instead of keeping it on the driveway.
They have updated my policy, but aren't going to charge me any more. Result, and something worth considering to save yourself a bit of money when you come to renew
