Got a very boring company car, really need (ok, really would like) something interesting.

Not a speed merchant (wrong forum then, I know) just fancy a big comfy open top cruiser (in the vein of the Audi A4 Cabriolet I had a couple of years ago and absolutely loved).

Anyway, to the point, I've been offered a rather tidy low mileage 2003 Volvo C70 which I'm really liking the idea of.

So my question is, given I've got a company car, am I going to be able to get some kind of classic type limited mileage insurance given it's old, but not that old, and any ideas on cost, and who's the best companies to try for quotes?

And if anyone has any experience of this type of car I'd be interested in your thoughts too.

Many thanks,

Ari

Any suggestions at all for insurance companies that might be best to try...?

2003 old WTF?

You can get a limited mileage policy, best to just get on the phone IMO.

You could try A.flux and try to get a PH discount - see the thread

Yup, 2003, hence "not that old".

I'll try A. Flux, thanks.

Ah now, a mate of mine suggested them, has his TVR therough them. Had a look on their web site and they weem to specialise in proper classics and future classics. Not convinced (looking at their list) that an 03 Volvo will fit the profile, but I'll give them a go, never know.

Thanks.

No worries they did insure my friends 2006 S2000 for £200 a year, so you may be OK with the Volvo.
