The insurance question again

I’m using Greenlight insurance. They have been fantastic with me and I have no complaints. That said I am a fair few years younger than you and I am insuring modifies cars, so they may be no good for you but might be worth a try. From memory they charge me £120 P/A on my Porsche. My MR2 was about the same as well.

Dan - I'm a strong believer in you get what you pay for - cheap insurers are cheap for a reason - so is the service when it all goes wrong - I've been insuring my classics for 40 + plus years and have never come across another company has Hagerty - they only insure classics and nothing else which means that when the roof blows off the house in the next street or Mrs Smiths dog creates a £3k vet bill for being overfed & fat it does not effect your classic insurance premium - now I don't think they are in the market of quoting the cheapest rates or undercutting others - but for the last 10 years they have always been very fair with me - I normally insure 2 classics with them on agreed values with European cover & RAC cover included for sub £250 - and when it all goes wrong making a claim was has simple as calling them - some details down the phone and I e mailed them a few pics - done - no forms / no messing - the real acid test of a insurer is how well they pay out / instruct on a repair - well I've repaired 2 clients classics through Hagerty - nothing could have been simpler - no bun fights / no arguments when I told them the complete vehicle would have to be painted to attain the correct colour match etc - and they paid me within a week of invoice being submitted in both cases - obviously I cant recommend them enough - Chris

Have you done all the comparison sites?
Bought our youngest a car last month or so (from neighbour so no unnecessary journey) and for exactly the same policy it was £50 cheaper on confused.com than gocompare. (Same company, same everything)

Try Saga, if it's standard.

The MGF and MX5 are both mid life treat cars, that they are very used to with their customer base.

I had the MX5 treat in my 50's!

Hi @mercdan68, please may you send us a brief message with your contact details on info@classiclineinsurance.co.uk and we will make contact with you. Thanks very much, ClassicLine. 

Cheapest isn't necessarily best - look at the detail of the cover and the claims history of the company- comparison sites often don't include these factors . . . .

I’m not sure if your car will fall into their definition of classic but I have been with RH for my classics for about 15 years, limited mileage, guaranteed buyback, agreed value with club assessment, etc, etc - I pay about what you’re paying now, for two cars on the same policy.

Graham Sykes have helped me in the past but I have also used Footman James. Sykes are still working although I can't get in contact with Footman James at the moment. I don't seem to be able to get any insurance for less than £200 whatever it is.
