Zoe, its probably not bad dependent on the conditions. I assume its a 'classic' car insurance. I am with Adrian Flux and its about £100-110 pa for a limited mileage of 5000 miles and £2500 agreed value, allowing for it to be kept in the driveway (which it is in the summer). You are probably much younger than me too!

Alan,not alot younger !!!! think mines 7000miles and yes a classic insurance .zoe

the car i was asking about was not the tr7, got a 1990 205 convertible and had a 96 ford probe, was just curious if either was classed as a modern classic and the one insurer said if it was a 1934 bugatti and didnt have a garage we would not insure it as a classic....nice huh....

did get a quote for the tr tho, 200 odd normally 129 if a club member, which is another reason why i joined the tr drivers club, anyone know of any of the companies that give discount if a member of this club?

once i get it mot'd will hopefully of sold the 205 and will get the tr insured, guess i should have laid up cover on it now but wife would freak if i insured another car,.....[B)]

Most of the classic specialists give a discount for belonging to a club, although some insist that you are a club member to ensure it is a genuine classic enthusiast not just a way of getting cheap insurance. Most also want you to have access to another car in the family, which might be called an every day driver.

I think some will accept a car over 15 years old as a 'modern' classic. A few years ago I met a guy with a '90 (IIRC) Saab 900 vert which he had insured as a classic.
