Are there any mileage restrictions with that sort of policy ?

classic policies are usually 3k miles a year from past experience.

Classic policies are great, but be aware that with most you need to be over 25 and run a daily driver seperate to the one on the classic policy. The car must be garaged and quite often does not include commuting. Mileage restrictions vary between 1-7k p/a.
You don't always need to have NCBs either, especially if you use another car. I have my 911 on a classic policy, limited to 6000 miles p/a, I don't use my NCBs for it, although it does acrue them. Its £350, but its not garaged at the moment. The GTi is on a bog standard policy as a daily driver, using my NCBs its £200 fully comp.
Shop around, but its not always that easy to get one for a daily driver that does 10k miles p/a and is left on the street.

nah it's not but my mates dad disconnected his speedo just before he traded his mk1 in (many moons ago) because if he put more miles on the clock as it would mean he would have to pay extra. The same method could apply to the insurance thing.
