Can I Save On Unusual Classic Car Premium?

Hi,

I have an unusual classic car & the insurance renewal is due soon. Listening to Martin today on Radio 2 I wonder if there might be a way of knocking a bit off of my classic insurance costs?

Many thanks.

Regards,
rotormotor.

    I did alright with Firebond, with my Allegros, whoops I've said it! Still very competitive with present large Volvos. They seem to understand classic needs, and yes, Allegros are classics too! Very misunderstood, and underrated.
    Didn't think there were many Ro80's left, I wonder if it still has the Wankel motor...

    We have managed to play Sureterm Direct and Adrian Flux off against each other when insuring various classics. At one point told us that somenthing like £85 of the premium was their 'admin fee' and they knocked off about £50 to beat the other.

    One tip is to make sure you go for an 'agreed value' policy as we were caught out when our first clasisc had a engine fire and the value that they put on it was miles less than the value we put on it. It usually doesn't cost any/much more and all you have to do is send in some photos and fill in a short form. Well worth the little bit of extra work involved!
