Classic car insurance

Post by omracing »

There have been quite a few different threads about insurance.
I see some people are only paying £110 or £120. I'm paying £180 for a 5000 miles limited mileage policy. Can I have a few company numbers to try. Thanks :thumleft:

That seems a very good price to me, fully comp and limited to 5000 miles. I pay around £130 but thats limited to 3000 miles, I don't think you will get it much cheaper than that, let me know if you do.

I pay £500 for 7500 miles with Norton. It is modified and doesn't have a garage to live in so it's too bad.

I'm with One Answer (underwritten by Chaucer) and I'm paying £120 per year for fully comp cover with a max mileage of 1500... I can 'up' that at any time though for a few extra quid!

01323 843311 and speak to Nicola.

Chaucer underwrite the MK1 Club's policy. It's who I'm with.

Just found out it covers track day use as well \:D/
Not that it matters much to us as we also work for a track day organiser so we are covered on their policy too 8)

Not sure if you can go direct to the underwriters or if you have to go through a broker... But Houghtons are the Brokers for the MK1 Club. You'll need your club membership number.

Yep, had all 5 of my SC's insured on Classic/Cherished policies through various companies Houghton being the main one, speak to Ken Salmon founder of the MK1 Club who arranges these at Houghton Insurance. Most I paid for a 1989 SC agreed value £4500 was £239.

cool,

I need to get my 4x4 back on the road, can only fit 6 breeze blocks in the boot and 2 on the seat of my SC, as well as two bags of sand in the passenger footwell....

Shouldn't really use it for that I know hence I need to get the sc on classic and my 4x4 on the main insurance.

1answer won't do classic on an import, I tried.

I swear by Lancasters
my mk1b n/a £109
my mk1a n/a import £132
my mkb SC import £249

For some reason they dont suit everyone,
When my friend Tommy (coverco) tried
He was quoted a lot more!!!!!
