I do that anyway for my regular insurance and pay c.£1000, so you can imagine my laughter when the guy at Adrian Flux told me it would be £1500 to park it on a much safer road, covering just 1500 miles a year. Nonsense.

Unfortunately my parents house doesn't have a whole lot of space for another car. So now I have turned my search to renting a house with a garage/drive (don't worry, I was moving out in summer anyway, a garage or drive is now just at the top of my requirements list. The new Scirocco can sit in the street if needs be) lol
It's a mk2. Fill it, drive it, enjoy it.  :smiley:

Really don't know how you guys do this. Who are these insurers that give out these deals because I've never had quotes like that.

Prove it or its just BS internet numbers :tongue:

Will this do you?



It's through Adrian Flux. I am 44 and live in the sticks, but even so, that's what I pay.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Limited mileage always helps even on a non classic, I have 4k a year on mine and it saved another £50 fully comp.

Tend to only do 3500 a year so little point in paying for more.
