Any ideas on the best place to go to?
It's a Anglia and a Morris 1100.

When I was running two 2CVs Footman James added the second one for twenty quid (this is about 4/5 years back) going on the basis that I coiuld not drive both cars at the same time.

We use Footman James and they can cover more than one car on a single policy though I don't think either can be particlurly modified. Not that they mind modified stuff at all just that combining them gets tricky .

They don't seem too worried about minor mods (they weren't bothered by the chopped springs on my new beast on my multi-car policy).
Always recommend Footman James as they've always been really good with me and always ended up cheapest, even when my mate bought a Ferrari 308 - his first quote was more than five grand, FJ a tenth of that...

I use and recommend Richardson Hosken Specialist Cars Division in Chelmsford, but both my dad and v8devon use Aon Risk, and in both cases adding extra vehicles costs them about £10-15 a time.

I pay £180 for fully comp and breakdown cover with lancaster with my dad also on the policy. can't fault them to be honest, other than being a bit rude on the phone.
The tow I had from wales to bring the old boy back to manchester when it broke must have cost more than that.

I've got two cars on my FJ policy, the second was about £20 extra - including another driver too!
FJ have always been great, although I've never had to claim.

I'm also with Footman James. some mods are OK but thwey wouldn;t let me supercharge my old Moggie Minor (I found a full Shorrock kit for £400) and they cancelled a mates insurance when they discovered flames on his Humber but other than that, I have 4 yanks insured with them at the moment fully comp, unlimmited miles and the total bill is £212 inc of IPT, legal and all that.

I'm a bit miffed with Lancaster, they gave me a quote via Confused.com on the Anglia of £130 and the same on the 1100 so I phoned them to see if they would do a combined insurance to make it cheaper and they changed the quote to over £300 just for the Anglia!
Ok, I have 9 points on my licence but that was 3 years ago and was the first offence ever, I've never had a claim and I'm 40 ffs. Do they pick these prices out of the sky?

I'd recommend Lancaster, they were brill with me, but i suppose like Kyle says, it isnt always the case. I got insured on an MG Maestro (ins group 16!!) fully comp thru them for £480, when i was 23, no NCB. Cant vouch for 2 car policies though, but they reimbursed me almost to the penny when i cancelled the policy.

Wouldn't recommend Lancaster just because my mate had a nightmare when it came to a claim. FJs website gave me a horrendous quote for my VP/Metro combo but when I phoned up, they got the price down to £400 for both. Can't add them to my 2CV policy as I have club-associate cover. Added the H van to that policy for £20.

Do they pick these prices out of the sky? mmh may be this will help to explain. I forgot the name, but the guys who underwrite lancaster are the same for their online and phone policies. The difference is that if you get the quick quote online, the policy does not use your NCB, but it also DOES NOT ALLOW you to build any NCB. However when you phone, lancaster, they do not give you the quick quote policy and what they give you allows you to build NCB etc.... that little "no claims bonous deletion clause" at the end of the terms and conditions in the online qoute is the difference. |

Lancaster gave me mid term hassles, not bad mouthing em, thats just what happened! FJ seems really popular, i'd be mad to not try exhaust my options with them come renewal time.  |

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

I've got 3 classics insured through these guys. They are excellent. RH insurance. 0870 111 8962. I've made a claim in the past and they sorted it out very well and they are cheap (morris minor £53 - 3000 miles)

Footman James have just been bought out by AON (so I'm led to believe).
AON do really good multi car policies, I've got 4 on mine for £130!!

Some good ideas as usual, thanks guys.
Decided I might sell the Anglia now so hopefully it wont be an issue.
