I can't get my Williams on classic insurance with anyone. Don't know if it's with me being 23 or not..

Peter best, nic, flux and sky won't insure it as a classic for me :(

Is it a seperate insurance policy then - as my main car will still be the Trophy/

always use seperate, these multi car deals are crap at best, and really no use at all for classics/performance/modified ime

How much are people paying for classic insurance.

I'm 27 - A rated PC no 1 crash 2 years ago non-fault, no points.

My daily driver is a company car - so the Williams is my own policy. I don't know if that's where the issue is.

They say a Williams 1 isn't a classic, let alone 2's or 3's.

They are wanting me to pay circa £1000 for 4k of mileage, i ain't paying that tbh.

I thought a classic policy is age dependant rather than it being a 'classic' as that's based upon opinion which I'd imagine in a nanny state - it would have to be based upon figures and statistics.

I think more research is needed.

I'm with Lancaster. £160 for agreed value and 3k miles for my Williams 1.

Do you accrue/need no claims bonus for the car? What have you agreed the value at? If you don't mind me asking.

i think if u have your car on a classic policey then u dont get no claims bouns. think with mine they took into account how long ive been driving for on my pickup, like 9+ years. yes mines valued at £2000 at the mo but will be more next year when i have all the bodywork done, and thats with the air filter and exhurst.

yeah im on classic policy with peter best. and they dont take your no claims into account. so if after 2 years your not using your no claims bonus on a policy then you lose them. so ive got a seperate policy for the cabriolet(which i use my no claims on) and classic policy for the willy 3. altogether combined a month i pay £28. oh and both of the cars are limited to 6K a year.

No, you don't acrue any NCB so if you have had any previously you will loose them after 2 or 3 years I think. Mine's agreed at £6k.

Cool - well I'll still have the Trophy which will be my 'main' car for general driving and the Williams for the weekend - so this maybe ideal.

Very interesting. I'm looking for a Williams as a winter hack then to steadily restore it and keep it as a second car and something to tinker with.

Been getting silly quotes and £550 was the cheapest. I pay that for my Z4 Coupe!

Has anyone else got asked 6 pictures of the car to be sent back with the application form to PB insurance ? :roll:

Peter Best does not do modified cars, right?

I want mine on a classic policy as I will be buying a new main daily driver to use, and garage the Willy for special/track days only.

I sent an enquiry to Peter best and listed everything, but I got no reply.
