You might already have, but if not, footman james, or any other classic speacialist.
Mention youre a member of V3M and say its a classic car club, or join the Volvo Owners club (pricey) and see if that gets a discount (it usually does).
Try limiting miles, if you go over there'll just be a surcharge on any claim (that you wont make).

But insurance prices ARE very high atm.
No getting around that.

Hope any of that helps.

Same problem when I was 19. So it's either

a) bus
b) crap low group car
c) move to a remote place which is low risk.
d) grow old

Can't help you more than what VND already has said.

Dont argue with that mate, thats a bargain.
Im on a mortgage just to get our lass to sit next to me in the 340.

footman james, give them a call - as already been said. i'm with them and it was 924 quid - unlimited mileage and breakdown cover etc!

i rung them already, and they told me i have to be 25 to have a policy with them.

The insurance "products", that Footman James sells as a broker, do change from time to time. However depending on circumstances, they can and have insured under 25s.

(sometimes the particular operator you get might give the wrong answer. I've been told different reasons for the same thing)

thats odd, im only 17 and im insured with them if you tried to get a quote online... then you cant get one. so you have to call.
