TrisK Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 id be interested to to know thisalthough i thought for classic insurance, it had to be standard, and you had pretty limit mileage (as it expects it not to be your daily) Quote
Nanglebadger Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 there also tends to be an age requirement for the person as well tho, like 25 or 27 or something daft.be very interesting to hear how u get on dude! let us know!Phil. Quote
Dan507 Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 As above. Classic insurance is wayyyyy cheaper than normal insurance. Iirc the car needs to be over 20 years. I'll talk to my grandad about it. He has loads of classic cars. Quote
jason_l Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 When the insurance is due on my mx5 i was going to try and insure it this way! Its 22 years old and mint so may be able to blag it as a classic?!?!?Plus the uber cheap insurance on the Demon will mean WIN all round for me ;) Jason ;) Quote
Guest skyinsurance Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Classic insurance is usually reserved for second cars with minor modifications, kept in garage, limited mileage, age restrictions on drivers etc Quote
shaneyb Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Sky, how are you guys with insuring cars in the area that you are based in? As I know you dont like certain postcodes. Quote
(NAS) starlet ep82 Posted February 21, 2011 Author Posted February 21, 2011 Sky, how are you guys with insuring cars in the area that you are based in? As I know you dont like certain postcodes.i actually rang sky today, they don't insure bradford postcodes quinn nearly matched my quote aas last year tho.. Quote
Glanza_cl Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 To get a classic policy you have to be of a certain age (according to car type), it usually has to be a second car and has to limited to a certain mileage per year.If it was as simple as just ringing up a classic broker and get a cheap policy everyone would do it.... and I've tried For instance, my mx5 can get a classic policy on it BUT i have to be 25, it be my second car and mileage is limited to 5k a year max.On the other hand at 21 you can get a Beetle (old school one) as a second car with much higher max mileage, all depends on the car really.

GTturbo_auto Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 i had my GT on classic insurance before it is possibleand its my ONLY car not a second car with 10,000miles a year but the thing you have to remember is with classic car insurance you dont get no claims bonuses building up so it can be a pain in that respect!
