Welcome to the Irish Mini Owners Club forum. Celebrating 30 years of the Irish Mini Owners Club, 60 years of the Mini, 50 years of the Clubman and 20 years of our flagship event MTM
Well lads , done a serachon this to see was it up already but couldn't find what I'm looking for
Basically what I want to know is what are the requirements for getting insured on a mini.
Its a 1971 Clubman , I'm 19 and will have a full licence soon , don't have a car insured undr my own name though.
Would it be possible for me to get insured on the mini for the year.
Reason is I want to be able to bring it to shows this year but can't do it without insurance obviously though.
I'm worried my age is going to catch me out or else the fact I don't have another insurance policy.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Aidan

FROM THIS TO THIS
I'd say that you would find it hard to get a policy on a car over 15 years old when you are 19, most if not all classic policies require you to have another vehicle insured in your name.
I don't know if you can be a named driver under the age of 25 on a classic policy though.

I contacted Quinn direct and they told me

I would like to advise unfortunately, we do not provide quotations on vehicles over 20 years old.
If there are any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us.

As I have quite a number of policies with them (house, cars, health, travel, etc) so basically the upshot is I’m not in a position to move insurers at the moment.
So, is there anyone out there who will insure just a classic?
hi ive just insured my two minis my 83 leyland with axa third party fire and theft with windscreen cover on a classic car policy for 193 euros my 92 zeemax was with axa till the renewal came in at 550 euros done the usual ringing arround and tried tesco and got it down to 259 euros third party fire and teft with windscreen cover went back to my broker who matched it with aviva i also have my main car with axa too and im 27 with a full liscence so not too bad
Interesting stuff, but can you use the no claims from your main car for a different, 2nd, policy? For a 93 cooper it's ranging from 249 to 950, with the only difference being the NCB.

I'm with First Ireland, when i sarted my policy last year i ahd 4 years no claims from my main policy. First Ireland gave me 2 years no claims on classic policy once i was able to prove this.
did i mention that all modifications have been declared on my policy?, every little one of them!
alloy wheels, rollcage, engine mods, everything all included

Just be aware that if you are doing the MTM, the 1000 mile limit may be an issue! I have a 4000 mile limit. It cost me €20 more to get from 1000 to 4000. Ill never do that many, but just in case!
