All the people on classicline insurance, is your car modified??

I got a quote from an initial enquiry, but when mentioned how the car was modified they said they can't offer a quote.

a plan have been good with me on other cars


Chris Knott gave me a very good quote today, beat my Sky renewal by £50apx

Adrian Fu*ks are a bunch of arrogant, cheeky and rude twits, and I'll never waste a phone call on them again!

Im going to try A-plan and that classic car place before I decide tho :)

hi mate, i'm classed as a young driver obviously due to my age, however due to this, i did my home work with insurance companies.
personally i believe the admiral group to be the best by far, this includes admiral, elephant, and bell.

I agree they're good for run of the mill quotes, but on a heavily modified car I've found them to be less than competative.

Classicline says they cant cover me, because my car is imported, modified and not kept in a garage, even tho its parked in a secure (armed guard) car park :roll:

Wonder if Sky will match my best quote so far :whistle:

Actually, although we're all calling classic line, were you getting a "classic" quote or a "sports" quote etc?

I never got asked about garage etc.

Sports, as my car is a sports car and not a classic.

I thought classic was 20 years+

And mine is the later Rev2, came out the factory in March 1994.

Im not fussed anyway, I can get better insurance elsewhere.
