Hi all , I m interested to find out what insurance companies are best for insuring E3o s .

I just tried to insure my car and to be honest the E30 is more expensive to insure than my 2001 mercedes kompressor and our Audi a4 3.0.
Its only a 318i lux I have so I dont see where they get the ridiculous prices.
Does any company insure these as a classic for a decent price?

Thanks

Gav

Try;


Lancaster Insurance
Sureterm
Pete Best

Lancaster, rescently have increased their prices lately. Sureterm will only insure you if its a second car being used on limited millege and not for work. Pete Best seem to be doing very good prices for people at the moment though. :thumb:


All worth a try though as a 318i auto 4 door shouldn't be costing you more than £200 a year, depending on experience location etc...

Pete Best charged me about £220 for my 325i Touring. Was fully comp with breakdown cover and i'm only 26, it is a second car and limited mileage but sound like yours will be a second car as well so should be good.

Only thing is they apparently only insure non-modified cars.

For me its always Lancaster Insurance. 325i sport £127.82 fully comp, up to a thousands miles a year. It was around £250ish for up to 5000 miles a year.

Lancaster were the best for me on a classic policy (limited miles and doesn't build no claims bonus)

This year I decided to add to my no claims and axa were the best

Lee are they used to engine changes? Thinking of putting one of my 16v 205s on the road to blast round in.
