Classic car insurance??? - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

ShaggyR32GTR · 27th April 2008, 07:32 PM

A friend of mine suggested the idea to me, he has a mazda RX-7 and was getting fully comp quotes for £2000+. One insurance company asked if he'd tried classic car insurance??. He got his first quote of just over £600. Obviously your car would have to be over 15 yrs old to get the cover but for owners of R32GTR etc wanting limited mileage and agreed value it would be ideal.
Out of interest anyone gone for the classis insurance? or any pros and cons of doing so please post and let me know. Thanks.

The last time I tried to get classic car insurance on my Skyline, I was told the car had to be bog standard, and not in any way modified to qualify. However, i have just sold my R33 and bought an R32, so perhaps this would be a different story. if anyone knows of an insurance company who would do this type of cover on a tuned/modified car, I for one would be very keen to know about it.

Got my R32 GTR on a future classics policy with AON insurance with mods declared, limited to 3000 miles for £469 a year.

mifn21 · 28th April 2008, 05:41 PM

How old are you mate? They told me they won't cover under-30's

PMJ · 28th April 2008, 09:54 PM

I have classic car insurance on my R32 GTR, mods declared and free track insurance all for under £450, limited milage ( as I have only done about 3k miles in 2 years

Shakkagts-t · 29th April 2008, 09:14 PM

30 m8! think aon are ok as long as your over 25

Jags · 30th April 2008, 12:13 PM

Also I dont think you can build any NCB on a classic policy

plkettle · 30th April 2008, 12:19 PM

you cant build any but also you dont need any either so you can use your no claims on a 2nd car etc

i have an R32 running 600hp with all mods declared and an agreed value

the insurance covers me for all club organised trackdays

i am 29 and the cost is £680 all in !

that is a bargain for a 600hp car fully comp.

Fee Muir · 30th April 2008, 12:22 PM

who is that with?
that's a really good price

We've got our porsche on a classic policy, before we were paying around £600 but not we are paying about £150...nuts!
That's with Hagerty

plkettle · 30th April 2008, 12:26 PM

heritage insurance.

car is garaged and has a tracker too.

mifn21 · 30th April 2008, 01:06 PM

Heritage have changed their policy some point this year - last year got a quote from them, only to be told they won't do it anymore!

Could you let me know who you spoke to mate?

Vipes R32 GTR · 8th May 2008, 12:14 AM

i will say green line insurance is good im 29 and running 650bhp with all mods declaired 3years ncb got quoted 853 pounds i recon that is a bargain

big ron · 10th May 2008, 10:47 PM

Aon quoted me £457 for standard R33 GTR fully comp... 5000 miles a yr and garaged.... not bad i thought, they wont touch 1 with engine mods which is a tad pap!

mifn21 · 12th May 2008, 02:07 PM

I've just had a quote from Hagerty - I fell off my chair when I saw the price... £155 quid all in

Get this.... one days track day cover is only 10% of the premium, so £16!
