Try RH insurance is your best bet I think.

I insured my Vitesse Sport with these guys at the time.

Its a classic car policy which asks for no no claims and obviously does not give no claims either.

The only stipulation is that you already have another vehicle insured elsewhere as you usual transport.

I couldn't find a thread for insurance comparisons, so I have hijacked this one...

Just moved from swiftcover to AA.

£202 per year fully comp. £3000 valuation (not guaranteed) 20 years protected NCB, driveway parked. I'm 37 and self-employed.

That's £20 less than my swiftcover renewal and AA offer better cover.

I tried an online quote from Lancaster classic, which came back at a shade under £600. They called me today and asked why I had not accepted the quote, then offered me the same cover for £300. When I did not accept this, they called me another 3 times on my work mobile until I got shirty with them and ordered them NOT to call me again. Not Impressed!

A 20 year claim-free record still needs a bit of luck Tom! The only time i've ever made a claim i wasn't even in my car when it was involved in an accident that wrote it off! It was parked at the time as well! :shock:

Have to say i'm surprised at Lancaster - mine are insured with them and the premiums are lower than you were quoted even when they "revised" the original quote. Something has gone wrong somewhere, possibly your occupation has gone against you or you went for higher mileage or something.
Cheers,
Dave

8000 miles per year. It wasn't the price that annoyed me with Lancaster. It was the pressure sales.

I don't think those sorts of sales techniques have a place in this day and age.
