Re: Car insurance
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.

Re: Car insurance
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?zakgt wrote: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.

Re: Car insurance
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.

Re: Car insurance
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).

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