Why " CAN " i, or " CAN'T " i... ??

For most classic policys you have to be 30...

I got my car when i was 29 and could not have it on a classic policy and was paying Ԛ£870 f/c, when i hit 30 on the day of my birthday i rang up the insurance company ( then Aon ) they changed it there and then to a classic policy Ԛ£308 f/c ( and you don't use your no claims discount on a classic policy, but you also don't gain any ) so i have a full no claims doing bugger all...
But i'm not complaining as i was saving over Ԛ£350 ayear. :D

I have been with Aon for over 3 yrs, but have recently changed to Carole nash, still on a classic policy but now have an agreed value of Ԛ£20k, now paying Ԛ£420 but well worth it for the piece of mind that if anything major was to happen to the car, :cry: i would get most of my money back...

i got classic insurance from HIC (highline) when i was 22 so i don't think its too dependant on age.

Heritage classic cars online have given me a quote for Ԛ£190 fully comprehensive. They recognise the motorsport as a classic a little earlier than normal due to its limited production run. Shouldn't be a problem getting classic on the M3 neither then.
Limited mileage, garaged with no need for a no claims bonus.
Not sure if 25 yrs was also a factor.

Ԛ£190 sounds great! what year does the sport need to be to quaify then? I have a 91, but it would be good to know when i need to start geeting quotes (if I haven't managed to get an M3 by then :D )

My convert motorsport is a 1991, limited production run & ltd to v.low mileage was the main key factor, I think someone else with a 325i sport tried but never got it due to not being limited run, maybe 15 yrs old might do it but otherwise normally 20 i think.
Best give them a call.
