I got £180 on Classic 1.5 years ago.

£180 TPFT non classic.

£247 FC I think it was.

Not bad for 'Not available in Northern Ireland' insurance levels!

Amazingly the e36 M3 insurance also has dropped from about £800 to £300 this year. Guess being 35 does actually make a difference... officially not a young driver anymore it seems!

Is this for a standard policy or a classic? Also you'd be surprised the difference turning 25 will make

i think classic companies have a minimum age of 25 , or they can be funny about classic policy and a well below average yearly milage if its a younger persons only car (ie if your over 25 and its a 2nd car a classic policy is cheap)

Lancaster are the only ones I know of that do 21 upwards, but online quotes are very hit and miss, best to ring them
