Check out the section on here http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?board=53.0

All of the insurers listed there are worth a try and know what they are talking about. Some also add a discount just for being a member of this forum. I would highly recommend going the 'agreed value' route so that in the event of loss you know you will not receive a crazy low book value.

This sites insurance sponsors can give some great quotes. Depends what yo'ure after though.  Is it a daily, do you drive it to work or is it just a toy?...  Try Chris Knott, they gave me the best deal I have ever had.  £157 a year with all mods declared.. Note that I'm approaching my mid 30's, mine is a toy on limited mileage, I live in a village with off road parking.

We have recently joined the forum as a sponsor/trader.

We can offer classic type polices that would also cater for mods should you wish to do so. Agreed value is also available.

If you wanted to PM me your contact number and a convinient time I could call you to do a quick quote.

Best Regards

Often the case unfortunately.  I was pleasantly surprised this year when my insurer renewed my policy at last years price... In fact I can safely say I was shocked!

WOW £400 on a classic that seems really high. When your insurance is due up drop me a PM as our classic car rates start at £100
