Here's the scenario
I have a 79 III series 5 doors/12 seats, while its not in the plan i got an insurance quote over the internet from firebond, with a view to insuring and taxing it in its own right.
I didnt think the quote was too bad all things considered £230 TPF&T (I do realise people on here do get much better deals, but i was only looking for a ball park figure)
Anyhow Firebond rang me the day after, suggesting that they could get the price down by quite a bit, they said they could drop the quote quite substantially if i could park it in a drive (unfortunately not going to happen). However they said let us check the details and all was fine until we came to seating "Oh its got 12 seats...in that case we can't insure it as a classic"
So basically does anyone know how many seats it has to have to be considered a classic, or does anyone know of 12 seat friendly insurers ?
Or should i reclassify the rear bench seats as short beds ?
