Hi all, i'm 24 years old and have a second car which is a mitsubishi starion turbo, i'm looking to get it insured on a classic policy, but most places simpyl say no as I'm under 25/30. Any ideas on any one who will insure me (and at a fair price)? i only use the car for the summer (if we ever have one) so lets say may to september/october ish. Thanks for your guidance, seb

you may struggle to get a specific classic policy, especially if you plan to use it a fair bit, however you can still get tailored policies from many, I;m afraid its just a case of ringing as many as you can think of.
if there's an owners club find if they have a preferred broker etc.

hold on that guys footman james are supposedly doing classic car insurance for 17-24 year olds providing you have another car that you use and is on another policy was in classic car monthly and weekely IIRC , i rung today and didnt manage to get a quote (as the team obviously are on easter break that deal with this) but got told that yes i meet criteria and that on tuesday to ring back for the £ quote, fingers crossed its cheap enough as they used to be as if so I'm going to be a happy 19/20 year old  hope that helps give footman james a ring (on tuesday)they are back on ball , and rightly so ! |

Thanks guys, managed to get the passat and starion insured on admiral multicar policy for £849 which i didnt think was too bad. Starion works out at £360, however had an email back today from classic line as suggested above, and they have said £317 for the starion ,so I'm going to give them a phonecall i think and may end up cancelling with admiral, cheers, seb

For the majority of them yes, they wont insure anyone under 25/30. But there are a couple, out there

Is there a minimum age the car has to be for classic insurance? It depends where you go, my 1990 sierra is on classic with classic line, but places like flux and footman said it wasn't a classic, but a Cosworth would have been, guess more comes into it than just year? Who knows with insurance companies, law unto themselves |

I've got my Rover 2000 with Peter Best, and they're very fair with young drivers. I'm 21, and it costs me about £330 to insure it with them. I'll need to insure my 3500 as a modern once it's on the road though, as when I had my P5B, none of the classic insurers would touch it. I doubt that FJ will cover me on a 3.5, despite having driven for four years with no claims.
Try Peter Best, but be prepared to negotiate!

Peter James insurance. just quoted me £214 for a 1974 Triumph Spitfire at 23 yrs old.
Thats fully comp with legal protection and a £300 excess.

I got a classic policy last year, at 20, with Peter James insurance, with no no claims and as my only car. They were the only place that would do it.

Peter James only cover under 23's on MG's and Triumphs now.
Slammage, that price is pretty much exactly what Footman James used to charge a 19 year old only a couple of years ago, but without the requirement to have another main car.
