Title: Classic insurance?
Post by: justin on 31 October 2004, 19:00
Hi,

i'm thinking of buying a late model (1991/92) mk1 cabby gti. Does anyone know if you can insure these cars under a classic car policy? If so, does anyone know of any insurance companies that offer classic cover for these cars?

Cheers

any car over 10 years old can be insured as a classic.? :o

 HIC offered me a good deal (see pvw or the golf mags) with limited miles for my cab but you wont build up any no claims bonus, but if your insuring another car as well its worthwhile? :)

So whats the "refinements" and why aint ya got an up to date photo?  ::)

refinements include fully re-furbed split rims now with polished, wider rims and titanium bolts with dark metalic grey centres. crystal headlamps, smoked crystal rears, all plastic smoothed and painted, full leather interior, g60 brakes, mk4 rears, lots of chromed engine bits and there must be other things!
there are no recent photos as all my photos are on my old pc which f**ked up and i haven't got round to getting them off so this was a photo i had that i took a digital photo of. plus my car is going through a bit of essential maintenance :P so any photos i take do not make it look good!! oh and its on winter wheels at the moment too :(

have a look at my gallery and you'll see what i mean! but once its all back together i'll get some good new ones.
