Dreaded insurance quote...

Don't mean to hijack the thread but do you guys know if classic policies are avaliable for people under 25? (I'm 21) Cheers

My friend is 21 and has a Triumph TR7 insured as classic. Will find out who from and get back to you!

All sorted.

Called Footman James and got them to state its a Supercharger under the model definition plus notes added that its a factory standard automatic Japanese import.

New policy documents sent out and very good service all round.

As Chris said better safe than sorry!

I'm sorted, just in time (and I'll get a free fluffy Meerkat )!

Flux took the funds 4 days (3 working days) before the renewal date - I always forget and get them to refund me and get fined by the bank if I'm not on the ball. ...I don't really think it's on so I've left them after 11 years.

Here are some figures...I'm 33, £950-worth of Mk2 UK Coupe, protected 11yr no claims, partner (27) as named driver, kept on drive, 5000m/yr, SP30 3pt/£60 last year, 3 mods (brakes / exhaust / alloys), driving for 14yrs, Sigma SG20 Thatcham Cat Two Alarm/Immobiliser.

Company / Quote / Excess / type

Flux / 412 / 250xs / TPFT
Footman James / 362 / 100xs / Comp
Compare the Market / 271 / 150xs / TPFT
Compare the Market / 376 / 150xs / Comp
Compare the Market / 280 / 150xs / TPFT
Go Compare / 328 / 150xs / TPFT
Sky / 414 / 300xs / TPFT
Tiger (call connect) / 432 / 300xs / Comp
Tiger (call connect) / 327 / 300xs / TPFT
Heritage>Norton / 427 / 200xs / Comp
Heritage>Norton / 369 / 200xs / Comp (just me)

The compare the market ones excluded glass cover (+£10) and personal injury (+£30) in TPFT, was normally included in Comp and with most of the other companies.

I added the glass and ended up with £294 TPFT with Admiral via Compare the Market. I had expected to get a better deal from a specialist and emailed all of them - next year I'll ring them all to give them a better chance and more time to get a good price!

Footman James and Sky did seem to have better cover for what it's worth, and Heritage even offered some trackday cover! Worth noting for next year!
