Classic Car Insurance

JIM C · Sep 16th, 2007, 14:44

My agreed value insurance is for renewal for my 69 Volvo 121 limited to 3000 miles. I have been quoted £114 from Lancaster my present Insurers. Is this a good deal?
Thanks

Jim, Try a phone call to FootmanJames. sorry can't remember number but mine is 130quid full comp, unlimited milage and recovery thrown in for good measure! Much more of a bargain than many i've had before. Gus

Many thanks I will give them a phone on Monday.
Thanks

Footman James have never given me any problems. It's also good having the recovery thrown in (but note that it probably won't include home-start, so living at the top of a mile-long hill would definitely be a plus!).

Hi Jim,

I can also vouch for Footman James. There was no extra charge for performance modifications either.

For my 164 and the 740.
Both agreed value and unlimited mileage [ for the unlimited mileage you have to be a club member]Very good value fully comp and recovery.

I used to insure my Westfield with Footman James and they were very good. Great when I made a claim!

I've got the volvo insured with Adrian Flux. Didn't get round to shopping around, and can't really comment on their service yet as it's only been a few weeks. They were pretty good on the mods.

They did tell me that they only had a 3 door 121 estate on their system though...

I'm using Classicline and will prob stay with them. Tried F.James and after going through the rigmarole online it said "can't give you a quote". They also think estates are 3-doors... Guess they all use the same kr*p back-end system...

I've just had a quote from Footman James 0845 458 6781.

£93.60 for our 122S, with European cover for 35 days and UK and European breakdown cover, with agreed valuation and unlimited mileage! I think that's a really good policy. (The car is group 1 and we live in a group 1 area which I think helps)

The VOC insurance company told me to phone Footman James as they wouldn't be able to get anywhere near them on a classic policy of a none garaged car, which was really good of him.

Couldn't do a web quote as it's not garaged, but they were quick and helpful on the phone. Highly recommended.
