oldmandon 1 Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Who on here has insured their car as a classic vehicle? I know someone has, and they've got their insurance at a stupidly low price, just want some info on what they did, as my car is coming off the road as a daily driver and will be used very little.

VR6Pete 1,455 Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 I'll be insuring corrado under a classic policy. There's loads of T&Cs etc.. Has to be kept in a brick garage during night, not insured for traveling to work etc... There's a few of the corrado boys that does it this way. Very cheap and very limited mileage too!

oldmandon 1 Posted March 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 Let me know how that goes. I've had a brick built garage done specifically for the VR, and won't be using it for work anymore. Also was gonna limit mileage to something like 2 to 3k max Link to post Share on other sites

Ben Seabrook 4 Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 I don't think they will be much help Pete as they state to take out a policy -"The vehicle has not been modified from the manufacturer's standard specification"this is what I found with a couple of classic insurance peeps, they dont seem to like mods !
