Default Classic car insurance advice

Right its renewal time

Ive stayed clean for another year yet my policy has gone up again, appreciate it does but why punish legit motorists

so was thinking about trying for classic insurance.

Are there any specific criteria the vehicle or owner has to meet?E.g Vehicle age, Owner age an the like...?

Anyone recommend any good companys to try as the mainstream insurers are taking the piss imop, it is cheaper for me to insure a Zafira GSI than a MK2 fez Shame im skint

Any advice/knowledge/experiences really appreciated.

Need to Insure are by far the best to deal with, I've recently insured my 500bhp 3 dr cossie for £502 with only 2 yrs No claims on 5000 miles a year with an agreed value!
