Anyone looked into it?
I know its a long shot but I looked into classic insurance when I lost my NCB after an accident a while ago, and a mk2 non-GTI qualified for classic car insurance so why not a mk3 16v :smiley:
The age criteria is the car has to be at least 15 yrs old so '97 & earlier mk3's would qualify
It would be a second car for me so limited milage wouldn't be a problem.
Just a thought - would've thought someone must have checked this out?

I Just insured my VR6 with classic car insurance with Lancaster, although the car is 20 year old. Cut the cost in half. Only downside is im not covered to drive any other cars on it.

We should be able to quote a mk3 Golf on certain classic polices, if like you say its a 2nd car doing 7500 miles per year or less.
Send us your number if you would like us to call you for a quote.
Cheers

We also offer some heavily discounted classic type policies for reduced mileage cover.. Depending on how many miles a year you cover the prices can come out VERY competitive.
We could also take into account any modififcations you would like to add as well.
If you wanted to drop me a PM with your contact number or call me directly at the office id be happy to help with a price. I think you will be pleasently suprised especially if you cover less than 5k per year!
Best Regards

Great cheers - I've decided to go for a VR instead, as a fun toy for a year or 2 then when I upgrade my E36 to an 328i/M3/Alpina I'll change the VR for a good 16v as a daily :grin:
I'll get in touch re insurance on the VR.
Does a Mk3 have to be over 15 yrs old to qualify or will any VR/16v GTI qualify?
Cheers

'95 plate I'm pretty sure you should be sound mate, see replies from 2 isuurers above :smiley:
They say Mk3 VR's & 16v's are eligable so '97 plate & older will defo qualify, I'm wondering about later later Mk3's.
-
VR6 wont be a problem either. Its more about the amount of miles you cover and if you have access to any other vehicles that helps on our policies
The age being 1995/6 will definately help as well. Drop me a PM when you are ready for a quote or call me at the office I think you will be very please with the quotes :nerd:

im planning on getting the 16v and putting it on the missus name, ive looked at a few comparison sites and the 8v are really cheap to insure and the 16v/vr6 hit the £2k mark, whats up with that??
-
Different insurance groups.
& comparison sites are not the best thing to be using, they are nearly all owned by an insurance company anyway e.g. one is owned by Admiral so the best quotes are always theirs.
Try HIC, Adrian Flux, Greenlight, Sky, Brentacre etc.
-
£4K for mk3 8v 98 plate !! from HIC
wife has had licence for 8 years + 3 NCB and clean licence
:cry:
-
Erm ? LOL
I think they are politely saying they don't want your business (no idea why though, mild car, driving experience, clean license + NCB)
Keep trying other insurers & make sure it's over the phone rather than typing it in online.
I had an online quote from Sky Insurance that was £1600, which made me fall off my chair!
They called me the next day for feedback & adjusted the quote to £400.
Computer says "No", person on the phone says "Yes"
-
just spoke with greenlight, there not touching my postcode
its funny because ive currently got 08 plate s3 which is waaaayyyyy less cheaper to insure on the same postcode lol

sorry to go slightly off topic but I want a evo 4 as my next car as this is pre 97 will this also classify as a classic car or is it different for performance vehicles im 24 7 years driving and I have my first years no claims this year as ive always been on my dads policy it will be the toy so only gonna cover a few thousand miles if that, just wondering what sort of price im looking at cheers

I cant figure out insurance at all I got quoted less then £1000 (£857.somthing) for a supra twin turbo in the middle of winter and to insure my old Scooby which imo a idiot could drive as its on the rails couldn't get anything less then £2500
-
So nobody wastes their time, just tried Greenlight for my 1994 GTI and they now won't insure anything after 1990 on a classic policy.
