Hi guys, wondered if any of you can help me with this.

Is it possible to insure a 325 sport under classic car insureance??

If so from who and on average what are you paying??

Is there a certain criteria that needs to be met???

Badly need your help, if i don't i'll be forced to buy a nissan primera gt to save money on insurance....................

the thing with classic policies is that they are often restircted to drivers over 25, usually limited mileage, car insured as a second car too.

try the likes of Footman James, Adrian Flux, Lancaster and other brokers, the direct writers like Norwich Union Direct, Direct Line etc prob won't do classic policies, although if you go to a broker, you may find NU do a classic policy somewhere.

The Primera GT ain't a bad sporty saloon, just blends into the background in the looks dept

I have my M3 insured by Peter Best and it cost me Ԛ£325 for a 6,000 mile per year limited mile policy but other than the limit on my mileage its the same sort of policy as my daily driver. Im 31 and have no NCB for that policy as I use my 10 years on my daily driver.

I have a straight six on a classic policy with Footman James. Not a BM though, it's a Rover 110 P4. Ԛ£80 fully comp, unlimited mileage, free European cover up to a month. No tax. :D
Think i'll try the Touring with them when the policy is due for renewal.
