to be fair thats all good that info for something "big" like a cossie, every single insurance company i have spoken to wont insure a 19 year old (nearly 20) xr3i convertible, completely standard from factory, 78k from new and limited milage etc... saying im too young (21 which is bollocks as i have a classic policy on a capri!) and that the car is too new still and too many out there?

since when did the AMOUNT of cars left show them up? how many more mk1 and 2 escorts more are out there than mk4 cabby's????

to me its a big farce, there should be set rules for ALL insurance companies to follow for classic car policy stuff and not each and every one making their own rules up.


example: my classic policy for my 1986 capri laser - Sureterm, no problems whatsoever - very helpful and superb price!

xr3i quote from 4youngerdrivers: - EXACT WORDS SAID ON PHONE "ur taking the piss mate, 21 with a capri ur lying out your head you've no chance, and at that price then they must be going down the tubes to offer someone like your age that policy, come back when your 25 and can REALLY get a classic policy!"

needless to say they can stick their business up their arse when it comes to anything from me! and that was me only asking for a normal classic policy quote not a classic!
