Swinton say not yet, peeps sellin on Autotrader advertise car as havin classic insurance. Anyone know the truth ? I currently pay around £400 fully comp. Full no claims etc with declared 195 bhp chip. Anyone got a better deal ?

 

Try hic mate my s2 is on classic with all mods listed

 

My S1 is on a classic policy with chip,cam,suspension etc and i paid £315 last year with Dominion,limited to 3k miles

 

Yeh, mines been insured with Dominoin on a classic policy for the last 2 years now. Renewal has just come through @ £249 fully comp, declared with 195 upgrade, suspension, brakes etc. But I'm 47 though and I'v ehad the thing for 12 years !

Cheers guys.

 

how old does the a car have to be for classic insurance
ie wot reg
would a G REG qualify as it is 15 years old ????

 

Hic say it has to be an 89 g ,a 90 g is still to new

 

After paying nearly £1400 to Norwich Union (even though I'm 28, but no no claims due to company car ) I also tried Heritage:

They increased my mileage limit from 3000 to 5000 and saved me £1000!

I drive a 1988 (f) Escort RS Turbo S2 and if I can remember I'm sure the guy at heritage say classics can be over 10 years, obviously only certain cars are on the classic list though.

 

HIC told me that b'cos a 1990 is now over 15 years old, then it qualifies for classic insurance. Both them & Adrian Flux use the "15 year from manufacture" basis on deciding if it's a classic or not.

Dry..I'd try somewhere else. Even the newest S1 is 19 years old. Companies like that take the piss !

 

Due for renewal in May so will leave Swinton alone. Stayed with em cos we had the GTi thro them and just changed the reg over. Was EXACTLY same price with the declared mods. The S1 is 195bhp and Gti only 115bhp ! Not complainin tho. Tried to find Dominion web site but can only find insurance for personal injury under that name not motors. Any one know their web address or any others that could do a good deal ?

 

HIC (if you can get through to them )
Adrian Flux

Numbers are on the net..do a google search mate.

 

CheeRS shawn. Will give em a try

 

use dominium for my s1
£500ish fc for all mods declared on a second car
will only insure cars upto 225bhp
need to be a rsoc member to use the insurance
01277 206769

 

Become a RSOC member, its worth it just for the discounts through Dominion, also they dont care about your no claims but will hold them for you if you wish
