yeah my 5 was on classic insurance with adrian flux limited miles same yr as yours
a few years ago i was told by an insurance company that you needed to be 25 to qualify for classic insurance, dont know if its changed in the last few years tho
nahh its still 25Originally Posted by 5alldaway
I think a few places seem them as modern classics, these, rs turbos, cossies etc are all less than 25 years but are all classics in some peoples eyes. Hic do the 5 as a classic, think I've paid under 300 before with limited miles.
guess you mean driver has to be over 25??
damn gf insures it and shes only 23, its £750 with flux she has 2yrs no claims. good or bad?

It says to mention your membership number, I wasn't aware we still done membership numbers? I still have my one from old site but just thinking about new members.
Ooops sorry, membership name - I'll edit that.
im with hic on the vag 5 on a classic car policy.. thats on 89 yr paying between 5-6 hundred, thing with classic car policys tho you dont earn any no claims or so they said
After reading up on this thread and others i decided to give Footman James a call....
...and man was I happy!
Im 29, 5 years + no claims, garaged, 4500 miles a year cap package, with 3 points for speeding. Standard 5GTT with 57000 on the clock valued at 2500.00
Came in at 220.00 or something and they let you pay in three instalments at like 2% interest, so it cost me like a fiver to change to instalments. Compared to ridiculous quotes at 1000's from other places this was a dream.
And Im pretty sure he said £50 excess?! Which seems low so Im going to double check but all sounds very good.
Anyway, over the moon. Now with a little help form some of the Scottish boys I should see you all in a week!
Off topic, but weren't you selling yours a while bak? Looks like you didn't anyway.. Good stuff!
I paid £460 at 21 on a classic policy with Peter James insurance. They needed a membership number to prove I'm part of an owners club though, so I gave him my old number. Not sure we use membership numbers these days?
Yeah I was selling it but THANKFULLY managed to hold on to it through some rough times! Plus I was down WAY lower than I wanted for it so happy no one bought it!
Now the race is on to get it ready for this weekend! (brake regulator needs changed, breaks need bled and an MOT is needed etc etc)
