Morning John
Classiine have always been good for me.
In the renewal process at the moment as well.

Equity Red Star are the underwriters for Classicline. Wait till you have a claim.....

From a recent thread, it seems that Mannings (Amlin) and Footman James are preferable, both of whom provide agreed value

Classicline are themselves great to deal with, however, the feedback is that the underwriters, Equity Red Star, are a shambles....

I left Mannings after over a decade as I could get it cheaper from Footman James. This year, my FJ quote went up by around 20% so I looked around; Mannings came in at over £200 more so I tried Adrian Flux - they were around DOUBLE my FJ quote (even with the extra 20%). They tried to say it was to do with the high level of TVR claims - I pointed out that they advertise in the TVR magazine so should be aware and competitive. Ended up taking the FJ increase. FYI, my Griff 500 + Tamora on 2k limited mileage was around £450.

insured my Tuscan along with my other cars with the NFU. All 3 cars came to under £600 all fully comp and all with breakdown cover. Now I know this is not a classic car cover with track days and an agreed valuation, but I dont do track days and only use the Tuscan on nice days. Nfu do cover value of car up to a maximum. ( £30k at present but I can review)
Now I think this sounds ok. If I had gone for agreed valuation when I bought in Nov 2015 it would certainly be out of date now as it appears the value of the car has and is rising quite considerably since then.

Just got my renewal through from Footman James. It's gone down £100 from last year for no apparent reason.
£250 43yo, no points, agreed value. Happy with that!

That must've been because they took it off me!

Although strangely Confused.com offered the Cheapest, i hadn't heard of Zenrith underwriters before, so have gone with Classicline because of there long support to the TVRCC @ £188

It seems to vary from person to person. I tried FJ after hearing some good reviews on here, previous was mannings. Mannings renewal £297. Footman James £748...... obviously stayed with Mannings, classic line were a few quid cheaper and the staff there are really good, however I have heard not great reviews on equity red star, just google them. Mannings and Amlin on the other hand seems spot on if the worse happens.

Mannings here, £250 a year chim 500. plus partner as added driver... limited miles 5,000.... Been with them for some years now...

[Incognegro]

Im with Classic Line, great quote on the Cerb but what clinched it was the combined cost of having my RR evoque on too some of the others wanted £1,500 just for that??

I just moved from Classicline to Footman James and saved £150 on my Tamora. Well chuffed.

Footjames are great for the price, £150, agreed value on my Cerbera, discount available for TVRCC members.

Ive always used them for any classic cars and no one else has come close.

Just moved from ClassicLine to Footman James and saved £350 (renewal quote from CL was £775, vs £425 from FJ). The FJ policy also includes cover for 3 UK track days, whereas the CL quote was for social and commuting only (no trackday cover). Tried Mannings but they came in at over a grand!

[Milky400]

It amazes me how these companies vary so much from person to person.

[450Nick]

Adrian Flux for me!

[HiAsAKite]

RH Specialists here (who are now part of Hiscox)

[rev-erend]

Classic line here .. very reasonable price even with my declared mods.

they even give free breakdown cover for UK and Europe.

[TvrJohn]

Strange they didn't offer me free breakdown cover on the policy I took out last friday
