ot Insurance for old car

I'd say it's up to you, a total of under a tenner a week including road fund licence isn't bad.

I doubt you'll get much better on the insurance, as it costs the company a fair bit just to deal with the paperwork. I paid £186 for a '91 Panda a couple of years ago, and was told the same. In fact TPFT was a bit more expensive.

I guess so. Just seems mad when the insurance costs 5x more than the item :-)

But if you hit a Rolls with the said item? :-)

Not nearly as galling as doubling the value when you fill it with fuel.

or a bus queue.

Or you drive off a bridge onto a railway track.

Exactly. You are not insuring the car, you are covering the damage that you mght do with it. It is part of the cost of being out there in the traffic.

Try classic insurance. It's fully comp, works for cars over 15-20 years old, and they don't care so much about your age, postcode etc. Quotes around 150 quid would be the sort of thing I'd expect if your car qualifies. It pays no attention to NCB, and doesn't earn you NCB either (so go back to normal ins every three years to keep your NCB current).

I got caught on the three years after having my car off the road, the NCB was wiped out after 2 years.

ok ok ok.... ok... ok :-)

You have to be careful with Classic Car insurance. Some insist the car isn't your only one. Some that it is garaged. Some won't allow it to be used for commuting. Etc. Mine is now back on ordinary insurance.
