Insurance - wtf?

[Dazaa]

Currently trying to get insurance for my 71 c3 and a 79 Chevy pickup i'm going to buy on the weekend. Classicline said it's not possible, Adrian Flux quoted £4000 for the pickup alone...i'm 26 and living in London, any idea how I get a semi reasonable quote?

It must be an age thang as I am insured with Classicline no problem .

Try Peter S Taylor insurance. Details in Vette News.

Try Brentacre

I’ve been with RH for years, found them to be pretty competitive price wise. It is probably/possibly an age issue, and of course being in a London post code doesn’t help. Check with everyone you can, there’s plenty of companies out there.

Appreciate the suggestions, for a moment I was incredibly disheartened to think i've spend 2 years building a car I can't even drive.

Footman James have quoted a very reasonable 500 for the vette, the truck however doesn't seem to be any insurers systems...time for a phone call.

I’ve always done the phone call bit, much easier talking to a person than a computer.

Hi.
I'm surprised that we weren't able to offer you a competitive quotation. If you wanted to PM me your details I'd be happy to a look at your details to see why it seems so high.
Regards,
Dan.

Lancaster Insurance are another one to try though i cant say if they are any good on 26yrs/London.

26 and youve got a 71, im impressed.

Im 26 and I got £255 with Hagerty Insurance with my 81. The guy I spoke to on the phone was actually from the States and learned to drive in a C3. Was a great chat and I ended up giving him advice on 350Zs since he wanted one and it's my daily At any rate, it's worth shopping about for the best premium. Keep an eye on what's included with the insurance too if the worst happens.

As I have said on more than one occasion , car insurance quotes are a lottery . It depends on who you speak to from day to day , even within the same company !! If staff work on commission from the underwriters they will quote for the biggest slice of pie they can get away with .
