We can list some classic car insurance companies, but which is best for you is an unanswerable question. Insurance companies use all sorts of weird and wonderful algorithms to calculate premiums, and everyone is different.
I can get quotes for myself from less than £100 to £1000s. The companies that quote £1000's to me stay in business, so they must be quoting sensible premiums to others, and possibly those others are getting ridiculously high quotes from the companies that quote below £100 to me.

any classic insurance should be less than 120 IMO, but as above all depends on so much info.

looks like ringing around then,i read on here a while ago that footman james was giving good quotes i will give them a try first i think, i tried lancaster and they quoted 440.00 which i thought was a bit dear being 30 in a few days with clean licence,it was an online quote tho which seem to come back more expensive in past experience ,il have a good ring round tommorow and see if i can get it down a bit
