A a quick look at Classic Van magazine in WH SMiths and see what companies advertise in there. Their web site has some links to insurers but you have probably already tried them as well known ones. www.classicvan.co.uk/Paul H |

We got our '84 Maestro van insured with FJ no probs. Tho, it is on a combined classics policy rather than on it's own |

I had the same problem when i had the Felicia Fun, most insurers didnt know what one was, the rest wanted to penalise me cos in a spanner wrangler. Although now ive changed mechanic to fleet engineer as my trade (self imposed title), my insurance renuwal is less than last year

i have a mini pickup, cant believe the amount of insurers who wont insure it as private,
they don't seem to be able to get their head around that its not being used for a business, which is a bit staggering considering the amount of people running around in the US and OZ in pick ups/utes/vans
it can be done though, just takes a bit more ringing around, last insured through FJ though :S
