You need to Google American car insurance and just ring every name that comes up.

That car shouldn't cost for than £500 to insure.

[roshambow]

yeah that's what I thought, I couldn't see how a German saloon with a v8 should be cheaper, are Adrian flux any good as there is a link to it on here, I will do some ringing around this week thanks

Pop to WHS pick up a copy of Classic American, its full of american car insurance firms, as you're 26 you should be able to get a classic policy with limit mileage which will drop the price of the quote

ClassicLine, I'm 24, 91 Camaro V8 - £540 Full Comp, 3000 miles.

I'm with A-Plan, I've always been totally satisfied with their customer service and they'll shop around for the best deal. I'm 28 and pay around £550 for my '92 Camaro Z28 5.7, it's garaged and limited to 5000 miles a year.

Hello
If you want a quote from Adrian Flux then you can PM me some details if you wish and I can have a look for you.
Thanks

Sometimes it pays to be a bit older.

I've been getting quotes today for the 2006 SRT8 6.1 JGC I hope to collect this week. Fully comp., me and wife, incl. legal cover but not breakdown.

House insurance is with Saga - they quoted £228.
Dog and both current cars are with Direct Line. They quoted £185. I can live with that.

I'm also a first time yank owner,

2000 f150 5.4 lariat £287 with Adrian flux 5000 miles and 7 years ncb

[JoPo1]

Im 23 and iv got an 2005 Escalade 6.0 V8. I insured it for £520 through Flux with 6 NCB and 4 points.

Not bad I thought considering my age etc.

[BLUETHUNDER]

Maybe i should start looking into my insurance a bit more as you are all getting better quotes than me. I know area plays a part. But i'm just outside london. 42. 10 years + NCB. No convictions Dodge Ram £567 ltd 4000mls. Corvette C6 £590 ltd 4000mls. Chrysler 300c £640 unlimited mileage. Will have to shop around a bit more for next years quotes.

Some interesting figures people are getting here.

My 2003 F150 Supercharged HD is £450.00 (5000miles) a year with NFU

Quotes for a Jeep SRT8 have been around the £500 mark (8000miles).

46 full No claims in rural bedfordshire.

Perhaps i should ignore the offer of a free meerkat and speak direct to the specialists

I pay £680 for '08 Mustang Convertible. Full NCB, SD+P and commuting, 10000 miles a year, never garaged and used by me and the wife.

[Chodosh Corvette]

67 Camaro, 27 years old with classicline, £300. The only thing to be weary of is a lot of policies stipulate that the car is kept in a locked garage overnight.

I spent a whole morning ringing round and found them to be the cheapest.

[Camaro]

With Yanks, specialists are the best way to go. There are a lot of them out there who will offer a lot of cover for not a huge amount of money.

As has been said though, just watch out for certain stipulations about where the car is, can it be used for x etc.
