Cheapest Classic car insurance

[Vince70]

I wonder if someone could give me some advice....

I've just phoned up my insurance company (AA) about transferring my insurance over from my old winter car to my Audi Cabriolet for the summer months as I've just sorn my old car and have been informed that they can't insure me on the cabriolet as it's too old (1993)..

So I was thinking that the cheapest alternative would be to put classic car insurance on the Cabriolet and leave the other car sorned for the summer months but leave it still insured as I believe to have classic car insurance you still need another car insured..

Would anyone know where's the cheapest place to get classic car insurance...plus would it be legal to have the other car sorned but insured to get the classic policy...

I will only be doing about 3000 miles in the car this year..

Buy a classic car mag and work through the insurers who advertise in the back pages.

By way of example, I'm with RH Classics for my 1990 GTi and it costs £95 a year for 3,000 miles.

I use classic line and they do not require a second car to be insured.

Cheap isn't always best. I had a classic car policy with a company renowned for cheap premiums. They told me that I would receive the policy documents by email the same afternoon .... they did no such thing. When I eventually got the documents ... they were filled with errors and downright fabrications that would have voided the policy in the event of a claim.

I cancelled the policy and went to Footman James (limited mileage policy) ... they are much better!

Hi thanks for all the replies and help..
In the end I cancelled my car insurance and sorned my winter car and just took out a new standard insurance policy with Adrian Flux..
I ended up getting full comp with windscreen and lost key cover for £198 which didn't seem that bad,
I could of got a years insurance £20 cheaper elsewhere but I didn't think it was a bad deal.

I've had classic ins for yrs. latest purchase a "94" Merc Sl would not qualify so took ins with Direct Line for £150. The only downside, is roadside assistance is not included and they will only pay out market value.
