rider Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I've had my Supra TT6 on a multi-car policy but I have decided to move the Supra to classic car insurance and the other car on the policy to its own full no claims policy providing a saving of £160. Beyond the savings the advantage of moving to classic insurance is obvious for any appreciating vehicle, namely the agreed value. The current provider will only insure to market value whilst I have set a £12k value for agreement with the classic insurers. From my dealing with this kind of insurance on other vehicles I own the valuation has never been questioned. If I were a one car owner then I could get the Supra insurance at £170 so its only a route to consider for multiple car owners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashloys Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I'm looking to do this myself come Feb. I currently have the Supra insured with Adrian Flux and my diesel Polo daily driver also insured with Adrian Flux. I've just turned 25, which means I can now insure it as a classic and hopefully save some money/get better benefits. What companies have you got quotes with? One of my friends is with Footman James and rates them very highly, but I have no idea about the level of cover/agreed value situation etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cered Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) Admiral multicar here. About £400-£500 for supra and whatever else for the daily Standalone quotes from comparison sites were £1k+ for Supra alone. Edit: Paying around £750 for Supra, but there's £100 worth of bits added on such as legal cover, NCD protector and personal injury cover etc Edited November 3, 2015 by cered (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kendo11 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Depends on the insurer Wez, I'm with Footman James on a classic policy but certain mods need declaring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Raven Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Im with lynbrook. I told them about all the body mods they didnt care. I told them my plan to BPU it, they said it would go up........£20 to £210. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Who are you using for classic policies and do mods make them nervous? I was with Lynbrook too. Only mods were wheels and exhaust and for BPU they wanted about £30 on a £280 policy (3K miles). For 5K miles it was £330 plus the BPU. I know you live in a rough area so it may be a bit more for you..!! H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shropshire doesn't really have any properly rough areas, aside from the odd badly plowed field. Whitchurch can get a bit risqué on an evening so I hear.

ashloys Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Just got a quote from Footman James, £270 including agreed value. I'm 25, I also have 6 points and 2 claims in the last 5 years. Thought that was pretty good! That's with coilovers, exhaust and FMIC fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Jesus there is some good prices coming up on here! I thought I got a good deal with sky but sub 300 on cars like ours! Only concerning thing I think about classic polices is the loosing the no claims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashloys Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 To have a classic policy you need to have another vehicle, like a daily driver to be elegible. I use and earn my no claims on my diesel polo it's limited mileage as well, although don't do many miles in mine anyways! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May consider a change around at renewal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attero Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I too wonder how this would fare up with a single turbo. Not that I'd expect to single mine anytime soon but you never know situations. If the turbos blew, it would be tempting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my friends is with Footman James and rates them very highly, but I have no idea about the level of cover/agreed value situation etc. Footman James were bought out about a year ago,(cant remember by who but a big insurer). I was with them for 5 years before that with a race car/kit car with a zetec turbo engine with about 300bhp (600kg car). Insurance cost me abut £290 a year, Mid thirties and other vehicles and 5k miles per year. Suitable agreed valuation. I never had to claim off them but they were rated highly by others who did. Not sure how they are since they were bought out.... Edited January 26, 2016 by and1c (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Level of cover is really good too. Very comprehensive. It was £323 but £50 of that was breakdown cover which I probably won't take tbh. 1 of the accidents was non fault when someone rear ended me and the other was when my chaser was stolen and never recovered Before that I was paying £550 ish from adrian flux. The only bonus of turning 25 was classic insurance!! Haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
