I have 9 years NCB, and when i get one it will be our 3 car so was hoping for a quote of around £200 too. Good luck.

Sounds ok to me, these car qualify for classic insurance if you have a primary car.

Have you tried Lancaster or sureterm? I have managed to be under £100 the last two years on a limited mileage classic policy.
