993 turbo, 1995 insurance prices ?

[madd0g]

Anybody any idea where i can get a good deal on insrance, late 40's, clean licence, low risk postcode, is there some sort of classic type low user insurance available for a 1995 car ?
a guide on what your paying would be a great help
thanks

Yes. You can put the car on a Classic limited mileage policy. Usual provisos are that you have access to a daily driver and the car is garaged overnight.

Start with these:-

Asset Trust
A, Manning

I am sure others will chip in with some other recommendations.

My insurance was with Aviva and I paid roughly £1200 for my 993turbo 3 yrs ago - Central London, resident street parked, no insurance claim ever.

My GT3RS cost me £1600

And current Challenge Stradale at £1200 (sole driver)
and '89 300SL R107 at £700 but does incl my wife (w/ her only 2yr full UK license)

I've just insured a 993 Carrera with Admiral, via the Moneysupermarket site,

The premium was just over £600, fully comp.

For context, my insurance credentials are....
41 yr old guy. Clean license with no claims or points in last 5 years.
Mileage limited to circa 3k per year.
Car garaged when not in use.
Rural Postcode, Midlands.
Excess of £350 on claims.
Car has a Thatcham 1 alarm/ immobiliser.
Partner insured as well, though I'm slightly concerned she'll 'bin it' into a hedge at the earliest opportunity.

The price seemed pretty keen considering my A4 estate costs over £500 to insure for work purposes.

I'd noticed other people mentioning the 'comparison sites' as being worth a look, and was happy to go with a quote rather than sit through a phone conversation with a broker at length.

Good luck

Postcode is the killer, I'm similar stats to you and only paid £460 last year! thats with Aviva of all places...

You could try Jonathan at broker Pace Ward, limited mileage & performance cars are their speciality. Very straightforward and helpful.

surely you could afford to self insure no?

look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves hahahaha

Avila here too....cost about £500 with a mileage restriction, and protected no claim bonus.

I would have thought an agreed value policy would be a pretty good idea on a classic such as a 993, which is a bit more specialised.

This might be a good idea, thanks to all for heading me off in the right direction,

thank you,

Thanks for that. It's obvious I'm a newbie here, so this helps give some perspective, along with Guyvert's substantially cheaper quote. Much appreciated!

Perhaps too many factors to compare 'like for like', I forgot to mention a job which insurers tend to penalise, and points on partners license.

Good references to have when hunting for a quote next year!
