I'm with Secure Direct... best price for me with the mods I have.

The NFU also seem to be competitive for people

Hi Ian,
It's best to go with a company that will cover mods for you than have to change company mid term and loose NCB or a load of dosh.

I'm with Secure Direct as well and they do for me.

Mine got classed as one and it's a 1993.

So I take it it's 10 years.

Some companies go with 15 years before it's classic...

I'll be looking at the 10 year ones next year at renewal when mine reaches it's first decade! Thanks for the tip!

With NFU at the moment, but tried to insure a mildly modifed series 3 and they wanted almost double the amount Peter Best quoted (about £260 instead of about £140).

Cheers

Ben

Mine is 1990 & with Peter Best as a Classic with limited mileage.  To me a good firm but there seems to be loads of variations in peoples quotes with all the 4*4 companies.  When I rang round those inLRO for my Rangie they had £40-£50 differences between them yet they all say "Good" for 4*4 cover.  It seems best to ring round all those in the mags for your own personal needs/circumstances.--Tony

Depends.

Some take it as 10 years, some 15 and some 20.  For some it has to be out of production, for some by 10 years.

Confused yet?

I've had some dealings with insurance companies with both our rangie and classic Fords before that.  At the end of the day they're all still insurance companies!
