Best place to insure 1992 MB CE230 coupe-Classic Car ins?

[philcray]

Hi

The renewal has just come through for the CE230 - it is with Direct Line and in my wife's name who is 37 and has 4 years no claims along with no accidents or convictions. I am the only other named driver and have full no claims with no accidents or convictions and am over 37.

The price is £341.25 which seems high, especially as we have 2 other cars insured with Direct Line. The car is now 18 years old and only worth about £2,5k so would it qualify for some kind of "Classic Car" insurance and can anyone suggest any good companies? We do about 10,000 miles pa on the car.

Thanks for any input!

Phil

christ there comes a point when you have to ask just how cheap do you want your insurance to be?

Im still paying in the region of £400 with 9years NCB, clean record no accidents and this is about the same price ive been paying for the last 3years on the same car and i always shop around and play companies off against each other.

Insurance is going up for everyone right now due to the large number of claims from incompetant idiots that were crashing everywhere in the snow a couple of months back.

'Footman James' are a worth a call.

RH Specialists, top notch for classic policies on older mercs. My W123 280TE and W124 230E are insured with them both approx £120 pa including breakdown cover

Bargain - will they insure if you're parking it on the road and under 30?
