Does a 1987 BMW 3 series qualify as a classic?

[DHE]

Just been told by a mate he is going to sell his E30 320i, always liked it and had a soft spot for the E30. Does a 1987 BMW qualify for classic insurance and any ideas where to get some quotes from? Car would be limited to about 3000 miles p.a.

I believe in insurance terms its more then 10 years old (was a few years back anyhow). That is 25 years old (!!) so really is a classic. Its is in my mind too

I've got a 1986 325 on a classic policy. less than £200 a year for 5k miles with Heritage. That's fully comp with European breakdown cover.

Yep, my E30 M3 is covered by Need2Insure.

Lancaster Insurance were very reasonable for me when I had an E30 316, and even though it was on a classic policy it came with "Driving Other Cars" at no extra cost, which was very nice.

Cheers for the replies. The man maths adds up, just need to justify another car now.
