I have a request in with First Ireland to see if I can get my 98 Cooper (15yrs) on the same classic policies as my three other minis. I have another main car policy.

The request has been sent to the underwriters.

We'll see.

zakgt is your other main car policy with First Ireland as well or a separate company altogether? Is your request subject to having the main policy with them as well?

At the moment, no my main car (MX5) policy is with someone else and isn't due for renewal till Jan 2014. A t the moment i have a second normal policy for the 1998 Cooper and a separate Classic Car policy for the other 3 minis with AXA. Hopfully I'll news today.

Keith,

Our 1993 spi is 20 yrs old so that would to be a problem. I just recall someone on the forum setting they got a 15 yr old car on their classic policy.

Thanks Tony, Autoline (underwritten by Allizance) will cover the 1998 Cooper as part of the classic policy.

I have a '76 insured with Autoline. They gave me a few options for mileage.
I went for 3k per year and they charged me €187 fully comp, with the Missus as a named driver.
One good thing I found was they will add another Mini for around €20 extra per year (but the mileage would be spread across both cars).

Read your policy carefully, classic car policies usually aren't intended for daily drivers.
