can i get classic insurance on a G reg 318i touring

[Tuff001]

I was thinking of getting a G reg e30 318i touring, can this be insured as a classic. My brother has a e30 on an f reg and he only pays £140 a year but is limited to 5000 miles a year.
If the G reg can be Insured as a classic then can anyone recomend a insurance company that allows up to 10,000 a year.

You can insure it as a classic but they normally require you to be over 25 and have another car.


I normally get decent quotes from Adrian Flux.


Best of Luck.

Nice one thanks, im insured on my bros car as second driver, do you think that would be ok?
If not have they asked you for proof of insurance on another car.

In my experience you need to have a car registered in your name but best checking with the insurance company.

I think it might be tricky insuring it under classic and have 10'000 miles. I always thought they limited it 3000 so am impressed that your brother got 5000.

There is no issue with being a named driver on a another car and not owning another car as long as that is your primary mode of transport.

I used to share a car with the Mrs which on paper she owned and insured (although I foot the bill) and had the E30 on a classic policy no problem.

That was with Lancaster and another I can't remember.

The point of classic Insurance is as a second car limited mileage and you don't use it much Hence it's cheap.

I have a scooter as my main vehicle for work and the e30 on classic. £200 per year to insure both.

I actually found fully comprehensive cheaper than classic. And classic was really cheap.

Thanks for the help guys, just picked up my baby today...
Got classic insurance for 350 and can do 10,000 a year....
Got a few problems with it but hopfully easy fixes....
2 windows not working and a sagging roof....
Time to get to work....unfortuantly its raining

Rain is ok, gives more time for research on the zone

Are you sure its a classic policy ? I think classic policy's are limited to 5k miles , £350 for a 318 10k miles sounds like a cheap normal policy, only or 2nd car ?

My thoughts exactly.

I got 0 no claims and yes its classic insurance by adrian flux.. I was getting quotes of 1200 for normal insurance... what a rip off..
+ Its also giving me no claims once there year is done.
