Hi, I'm new & this has probably been covered a thousand times before, but I apologise in advance!
Basically I'm looking at getting a second car, hopefully a Series II Land Rover.
Looking on the 'net I can't find anyone who'll insure me on a classic policy. I'm 20.
Are there any insurers who'll touch me that you know of?

I know my mate used to use adrian flux. He had a classic policy on his 205 gti. I think the policies are banded for the age of car etc but I'm not 100%
Hope this helps

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

"We are currently able to quote for drivers age 21-74"  A lot are 25+ & I've seen a couple that are 21+, but none with no age restrictions. I've had a few quotes on normal policies, if it was my only car the quotes are very reasonable. As a second car (no no claims counted basically) it's extortionate. Thanks for the info so far, I'll carry on looking around.

It is a pain as most classic specialists keep their premiums low by automatically excluding the highest risk age group - which is a real pain if that's the group you are still in!

A lot of classic places will insure you - but you have to ring them. I have to say, personally I had no joy with classic places (getting the best value insurance through Norwich Union), alas now I'm forced to go with Adrian Flux on my previous 2 motors due to the levels of modification.
But so far - I've had nothing but excellent service from Adrian Flux - give them a bell!
Best bet is to dig out the yellow pages and just start ringing - it's the only way to find out!

Aon insured me at 22 (4 years ago) for about £60 on a Moggy Minor van (2nd car, 1500 miles, garaged), so might be worth trying them for a quote.

I always use HIC. I've heard a few people have had problems with them, but I have never had one and I've had 5 cars insured with them. Got quoted £250 for a Series 3 the other day and I'm 23  |
