Breakdown Cover - best deals for older vehicles

Just had my renewal through from RAC and it's a bit eye watering in my opinion. Nearly £200.

This is for home start, recovery and onward travel. Just UK cover (I never drive abroad). It is also for both me and my wife and RAC covers the member not a specific vehicle and I would ideally like to mirror this type of cover so that either of us are covered no matter whose vehicle we are in.

The only other stipulation is that our vehicles are old. We both drive "modern classics" and the 2 main vehicles in the household are each 24 years old and modified.

AA & RAC are the obvious ones, but any others worth trying?
