My Mondeo 2.5v6 was similar price at £650 ish with direct line and i am 29 with 9 years no claims, and thats alot cheaper than i was quoted last year (£1000) yet 3 years ago i was paying £400 for the same car.

I pay £240.00 for my 92 Escort Harrier with Lancaster Classic Car Insurance. That might seem cheap enough but they take the p!ss instead by charging hefty fees for such as £30 a time for things like cancelling a policy or changing your vehicle over. These fees are on top of any increased premium as a result of changing the car. Their customer service is bad too, every time you phone them it takes about 15 minutes to get through. I definitely won't renew with them, and the £30 cancellation fee almost seems like a price worth paying to be rid of them.

Got my renewal and rang them to add alloys, bluefin and s/s exhaust and they came back with same price. Which is kinda good but is still more than last year. Bit of sweet and sour to it.
