Irish Mini Owners Club

Just to let ye know, have one mini on vintage insurance and now hoping to buy another, but just onto first Ireland insurance, was really surprised. Thought would be same for second car, €300 but no u get 70% off with second car, so only 45 till February next year. Thought I'd share cause I thought it was great value

and any fully licensed driver over 28 with his/her own policy is free to be added and two or more cars on the policy can be driven at the same time.

To add to that; First Ireland insured my 95 Spi as a classic for €285 for a limited milage policy - not a bad deal if your pride and joy is not your daily driver

i renewed with First Ireland there just recently.. great policy, as mentioned. they also insure other makes of car!

i insured my 1981 Mini Hl with Axa, been with them for 4 years with the classic insurance. Was €260 fully comp, limited to 5000 miles, if i wanted a second mini on it, would only cost an extra €50!

yes, i think *finally* (some) insurance companies are getting the message!¬

My insurance is up again soon. What companies are people with and what kinda prices. So much for your insurance coming down each year

Since posting carol Nash have rang me back with €230 fully comp on my two cars with 3 named drivers. Full breakdown cover in Ireland and Europe so might come in handy for imm cheapest quote today by €130 over anyone else

good news spud. mine's up in a few months, hope to get a good a deal as that .

any companys do under 25s ? even as a named driver?

I rang the following yesterday, campion, first Ireland, axa, carol Nash, aig. Under 25 I'm not sure. Can anyone tell me is the club registered as a vintage club, was just asked that yesterday

I got a quote today from Carol Nash, 1 car,1 driver, full comp and restricted to 4000 miles.....295 euro

It may ring back first Ireland now Martin and tell them you got it for €230 off another company and they will come down straight away

Im with AXA (1990) and im 21 on a provisional licence. full policy in my own name.
now its a little over €2,000 a year and that's with their "drive safe" gps tracking and driving montior so its not cheap but it is available.

JP, not sure if we currently are but definitely up to recently we were affiliated to the IVVCC, Ireland's umbrella vintage car club.

Thanks billy. They didn't ask for membership number after

Just got my renewal through Carol Nash this morning..................€203 fully comp, ALL modifications declared!

I will be 18 next year and probably have full licence.. i want to get insured in my dads name in my 1ltr 1983 mini ... cn this be done?!
Thanks in advance.

Not sure. Each company could be different. I think it's 21 on some insurance companies on a car over 20 years old but I could be wrong

I will be 21 on tuesday and my insurance is up on the 5th of april. I drive a 91 civic. Is there any company that would give me a classic policy? Just wondering because I never thought it would be possible to be honest. It would be great.

they wont give you classic insurance on a civic no matter what the age

Why is that?

Daily car CLS350 insured, proper car 1984 1l Mini City. Carol n Nash 200 blips 3rd party with all the usual. Not bad......

They have a bad name with young people like twin cams a few years ago they have been only accepted as a classic in the last few years
