Sounds good, but on a 1977 car you can get limited mileage Classic
car policies (crazy eh!) at even lower prices.

Could you point me in the direction of the companies offering this?

| 916.3 | .... where? .... | CHEFS::CLEMENTSD | Public Sector and Telecomms | Wed Jan 10 1990 11:41 | 6 |
| Re the last two ....... I tried to get a limited mileage "Classic"
policy from another pointer in this conferece and found the rate
was higher than the Halfords one by a factor of TWO!
My insurance needs to be paid by 20/01/90 so if there are any pointers
please lets have them quickly!

| 916.4 | Try these - More help anyone? | FOOT::SAXBY | Isn't it 5.30 yet? | Wed Jan 10 1990 11:56 | 13 |

My insurance is arranged with the Norwich Union, through Adrian
S. Flux (0553 691266), but mine is for a 20+ year car, but they'd
be worth calling anyway.
Bain Clarkson may also be worth a call, but unfortunately I don't
have their number.
I have definitely seen classic insurance for 10 year old cars, but
sadly I can't remember which company it was (as it was dearer than
my 20 year + insurance, I didn't take a lot of notice).

| Re -1
I called Flux: they weren't interested in a 5000miles/yr limited
policy; because the car was Gp 7 they wanted a mandatory excess
of �250; didn't offer any NCB protection. Their quote finally came
out at �180.
Thanks for the info, but it looks like I'll be staying where I am
unless anybody else can suggest anywhere else to try.

| Try Bain Clarkson in Dudley (call directory enquiries for their number).
They offer all sorts of limited mileage policies for all cars, not just classics

| For future reference, the Brokers that I use are David Auden & Associates
in Hazel Grove, I found them to be cheaper than Adrian S. Flux, for a modified
MK2 Escort ('77) 1.3, insured with Norwich union, and didn't force me to have an
excess like Flux did at the quoted price (I payed 280 aged 19, with 2yrs NCB, an
accident against me and 3 points), and they do offer limited milage discounts.
Despite this, it would nice to get quotes for my brother in a 1970 MK1
Escort from classic car specialists, so if you have the number, then could you
let me know ???

| 916.11 | New number ? | KIRKTN::GGOODMAN | Born to party | Wed Oct 03 1990 02:13 | 8 |

re -.1
Has the insurance company changed it's telephone number recently. I
tried to get a quote, but instead I got one of British Telecom's
'polite' voices saying that I had dialled the wrong number.
|
| 916.12 | no problem.... | CHEFS::CLEMENTSD | Public Sector and Telecomms | Fri Oct 05 1990 13:06 | 1 |
| I just called Halfords on 0245 492949 and it worked OK...
|
| 916.13 | | SIEVAX::JAMIE | Why's everyone else wrong all the time ? | Tue Mar 05 1991 11:39 | 3 |
| Well I just got a quote from Halfords for 380 quid including the 30%
digital discount. This doesn't compare very favourably with another
quote we were given for 278!!!
|
| 916.14 | | CHEFS::CLEMENTSD | Public Sector and Telecomms | Tue Mar 05 1991 11:57 | 7 |
| I saved money on my insurance by going through them. Perhaps your lower
quote wasn't for the same level of cover?
I have no financial interest in Halfords, but thought that the
information was worth sharing with other people, so don't blame me, I'm
only the messenger. It worked for me. What can I do if Halfords think
that you're a bad risk..... ;-)
|
| 916.15 | FYI... | RUTILE::BISHOP | | Tue Mar 05 1991 12:31 | 5 |
| For your information:
Halfords will not deal with young drivers with fast cars...
That's what i was told anyway when i tried to get a quote...

| 916.16 | | CHEFS::CLEMENTSD | Public Sector and Telecomms | Tue Mar 05 1991 12:37 | 2 |
| Ahh, the pain and unfairness of being young! Something we are ALL
guilty of once in our lives.......
|
| 916.17 | Not the answer for everyone, though | KERNEL::ROE | Three Sixteen..Know what I mean John? | Mon Nov 25 1991 16:48 | 16 |
| Good information, but they volunteered that they weren't competitive
for my enquiry - '87 Golf GTI, husband and spouse (both over 40), 65%
NCD....net cost �369. As we've already had a quote from A-Plan in
Basingstoke for �308, I'll keep looking!
They've already been proven to be good value for others, so it really
is a case of looking around, for everyone!
BTW, can the moderator, or author, make the title relevant to an
Insurance topic? I didn't find this note with /TITLE=INSURANCE, only by
chance ploughing my way through the other insurance related notes.
Thanks a lot!
Mike
