Hi, I want to buy a 2001 S80 this weekend, but I can't find anyone to provide classic car insurance. I have three Mercedes covered by Footman James on a classic policy, but they say that the S80 is on a list of cars they will not cover although it's twenty years old.

I've also tried the Volvo club scheme, Adrian Flux, Peter Best and Lancaster. The problem seems to be either they won't consider the S80 a classic despite its age or they don't like me because I only have a classic policy. I've only had a classics policy for years and therefore don't have any no claims. I've been quoted ridiculous for a normal policies

Does anyone have any suggestions? I really like this car and would hate to lose it.

Thanks, Dave
