well i must say am really chuffed atm i earlier today received an email off adrain flux with my new renewal price which shocked me at £736 fully comp ( was only paying £490 last year)
so i did a few searches still couldnt get any decent prices, then i remembered about footman james gave them a call and got my insurance at £332.14 i thought the guy had said it wrong lol

R5GTT should qualify as 'classic'.
Alot of classic car policies allow all kind of mods without it affecting the premium.
I fitted a slightly larger engine, roll cage, brake upgrade, lights etc and it made no difference to my vw beetle :laugh:
who are you with m8 ?
I had murders insuring my gt, tried all the popular brokers to, that was the best quote i got :(

You want to try insuring two:laugh: of the little buggers!:dearme:
My trade policy wont touch modified cars, so its either put everything back to standard , which I don't think I could bare (as fives are dog**** slow as standard)
or get seperate policies for both. Hence why one of thems going soon. Although I did get a good quote of 500 all mods declared, 27, fully comp, turbo, rough bhp the lot!:), which I'm going to take out in the not too distant future

or four....:wasntme:...:agree:, classic policy all the way, plus being ancient is a winner...:laugh:
Classic policy ftw, im with footman james at the moment £230 fully comp on my gtt.
Hic added £130 onto my old policy taking it up to £350 ish so they got told to jog on.
There are cheaper classic policys out there though, i got a quote of £200 fully comp but footman james had a lot more on the policy, depends what you want really?:)
is it true you have to be 25 or over to insure a car on classic policy? :popcorn:
ive just renewed the ph1 today again with Graham sykes, All mods declared, 22 with 2 years NCB, 3.5k limited mileage, was £420 TPFT :)
im going to write all these down had mine back the other day 22 three years no claims £1550 with elephant :eek::eek:

Most of them like you to be 21+, but HIC gave me my first classic policy when I was 18 :agree:
And that allowed mods too.

That's a bit heavy mate! I'm 22 with 5ync and I'm paying about 650 with elephant. Elephant have always been the best for me

oh dear god! That quote is ridiculous!:eek:
Tell me about it but I couldnt get it down no more some of the other quotes were worse.
I got mine for £338, Fully comp.
Classic car with a limited 9000mile policy...
I was 21 (now 22) with 1 years no claims. (Get my renewal price this friday though, fingers crossed it's just as good).
It was through www.4youngdrivers.co.uk (http://www.4youngdrivers.co.uk), who are part of insureyourmotor,
(Who are a broker, so I am actually insured with Aviva (Norwich Union).
Was very suprised at that quote, I bought a 5, didnt think about insurance till I got it home and upon first session trying to find a price under £900 was bricking it....
It actually came up on BeatThatQuote I think which is where I discovered it.

Am I correct in saying that your no claims bonus and only go towards one vehicle? so if my 5 was a second car i'd have to insure it without any NCB?
That's correct.I've got about ten years but for both my other cars I've had to start from scratch.

13-11-2010, 19:15
So can you accumulate like a second set of no claims by insuring a second car from scratch?

I got quoted miserable by everyone:sad2: 23 roofer ts10 1yrs ncb £1500:eek: best i got all mods declared with the engine conversion as well but that didnt even make a difference as was the same power out put.
Yes but let's face it £338 for a 21 year old was a mistake;)
Haha, your likely right, All the paperwork I have is 100% (I checked it over and over and over hehe) so they must have knackeredit up their side.
God know's what im to do about this years insurance now though, might be back to crappy car days for me being a student again now.... Goddamn it.... Buy another chicken paxo probably.... argh!!!

they need details of another vehicle owned by myself?
Thought that was only for a classic policy
also classic policy, the car has to be garaged overnight, well i work nights so even if i did have a garage it would not be in there overnight.
im scrapping this pile of french rust and gettin a micra.
