Insurance quote?

[marz92]

I'm sure that this has been raised before, but as you guys are always helpful just liked to return the favour with good prices.
I have just had a quote from Classic Line (most helpful on the phone!) regarding the renewal of my insurance for a 1990 S3 and wondered if this is as cheap as it gets considering the circumstances.
I am 43, owed the car for about a year, told them for insurance purposes the car was valued at £8,500 and wish to use it just for fun, (I do NOT use it to get to work etc.) Limited milage of 5,000. No engine modifications. I have no garage, NCB didn't count/matter. I told them that I live in a good area (small market town, group 9 out of a scale of 60, I was told) and was quoted today £295. English road cover is an additional £17. At present I have it with Footman James and currenty pay £395 with European road cover included. Rung a few other insurance companies in the latest edition of Sprint and either they would not insure me because of the lack of garage or their prices were way above £500. So conclusion I guess £295 is about as cheap as it gets for an S3 without a garage. What's your views?

Sounds about right, mine is £230 and has to be locked away between 10pm and 7am or some such

Yeah I am with Classicline, same sort of cover as yourself but garaged and only £270 for the V8S

I've got £380 with Priveledge, unlimited mileage, no "locked-up" clauses, Cat 2 alarm, 6yrs NCB, and my missus on it

[F908 Tim]

Classic Line,about £230 IIRC with 5000 miles and garaged overnight,but commuting is covered.
Reckon thats about as good as it gets ...sadly!

Not really Had to pay £1550 on my first year with the S. Insurance is around £1K for me on TVRs.

I kind of accept it now.

S3 £210.54 with Classic Line garaged one driver 3000 miles. might be cheaper because i'm older than Methuserlar, sure i'm going to have to increase the mileage before the end of the year

My advise is don't get caught being pissed with a car.... seems to double the premium

insurance companies say its about 20% when you ask them... reality chatting with you lot is + 100%
