	Hi I know we all have different ideas on what's retro or classic. I own a '91 Volvo 740 and I wish to insure it. Providers of classic policies do not recognise the car as a classic and the only insurers that will give me decent quotes I've never heard of and to be honest are still too expensive. Best I've had is £280. I want the car on fully comp for 1000 miles a year (I doubt I'll even do that), social use only. I don't have any no claims to use as I have 2 other cars. Can anyone who owns or has owned a similar car point me to an insurer that will insure it as classic or to an insurer that will give me a reasonable quote? Thanks

	I've used Bishop Calway in the past, I've no idea what their cut-off requirement for 'classic' is though. www.bishopcalway.co.uk/

	Chris Knott insurance and Footman James have some sort of arrangement with the Volvo Owners Club and I have used both in the past for my 940. They can't always help but it might be worth a try. Footman James seem to have more of an idea about things as they actually thought it was a good idea when I upgraded my brakes rather than just slap extra £££ on like most would do. I have recently been looking for more modern car insurance and had a brilliant quote from by going directly to Aviva who also own a couple of the lowest priced companies on the comparison sites. Classic policies might not be available from them though unfortunately.

	Had the same problem with a 2000 MX5 and this company sorted a good deal for me A-Plan. Warning, only this branch, the other branches won't be able to help! This is the branch that specialises in our cars and needs.
