supra_aero Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Just rang up adrian flux and told them now my supe is old it qualifies as a classic car now, so I want a lower premium (I wasn't with adrian before ). Its now come down from £1550 to £639! Well pleased. Granted I do have 1 more years no claims but well happy with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steady_dave Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 HAHA Awesome, onyl got 2 years to wait with mine then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 (edited) Is that true? As mine's coming up for 16 years old next year (when I renew), and I might try that on the insurance brokers too. Is it restricted mileage and all that, etc? Edited December 8, 2008 by AndrewOW (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonlady Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I thought that it was 20+ years before a car is classified as a Classic. If it's only 15 then roll on May Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2JG Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Damn! If it is true then I've still got 2 and half years to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Ive been insuring mine as a classic for the last 2 years and its a '94' model through Sureterm Direct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 i think you will find there are other restrictions like a very limited mileage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2JG Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 i think you will find there are other restrictions like a very limited mileage? something like 5,000 miles isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul mac Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 has anyone tried this with SKY, does it still apply to modified cars ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 something like 5,000 miles isn't it? Which is probably more than I actually do. I'll have to check. If so, then that could make a big difference. I think it has to be garaged and lots of little things, that you get away with in a normal premium (but then we're paying for that freedom ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steady_dave Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I will have to investigate this, looks like a money saver if it works. Only use mine on weekends anyway so would be useful for the non-daily drivers if mileage is a factor. Definately worth spreading the word though.

supra_aero Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 It took some convincing to tell him a supra was a 15 year old classic lol, that was limited to 3500 miles mind as well. I don't drive it at all that much anyway. That was the best xmas present I have had from a company in ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewOW Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I've just had a thought though. My fully protected, full comprehensive insurance is cheaper than the OP's paying now, but I would like to see if there could be an additional saving somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n boost Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Classic insurance is normally available for u.k cars which are at least 15 yrs old. So if yours is a u.k model and not an import then theres nothing wrong with that, but if it is an import then you wont be covered and will need to clarify this with the insurance company.

I told them it was an import. That doesnt sound right - what if it was a classic mustang or something??

Stratty Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I have been with Adrian Flux for a couple of years now and they have always quoted the best price. My policy also has restricted mileage and they are aware it is an import and all of the mods have been declared. I pay just over £400 a year fully comp.

kslb Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I am with them as well with a fully declared single set up and loads of supporting mods with 577bhp and am £550. I think anything less than £1 per bhp is a bargain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
