CHEERS SIMON

how long is a piece of string?

Insurance is such a personal thing due to the many variables they use to quote on.

Do you think its a good deal, you've not told us a great deal about the car or you to work it out on.

Full no claims, garaged, max 3000 miles, three named drivers, £165 Lancaster Classic Insurance.

yeah sorry..not got a golf yet just getting a rough quote firs…t 40 year old driving since 18 full no claims no accidents use of other cars. i thought £250 was a little high but maybe am used to paying only £100 for my old ford 100e fully comp. whats the road tax on a golf?

GTI?

its probably a bit high, tried a classic policy with a specialist like footman james?

Got my 1983 cabby gti classic policy, fully comp, limited mileage for £130 through performance direct broker and i'm 32 with 7 years ncb and use of other vehicles.

Heritage may be worth a try. http://www.heritage-quote.co.uk/
Although my Golf is a lower group than a GTI, I've just had a quote for £85 fully comp (second car, restricted to 3000 miles, garaged).

By the way, Mk1 GTI road tax is £220 a year (£121 for 6 months)! Any car registered before March 2001 will be categorised according to engine size and Co2 emmisions are not taken into account. Unfortunately this means old cars are often a lot more expensive to tax than modern ones. Also, only cars manufactured before Jan 1973 will qualify for free road tax as a historic vehicle.
If you're limiting your mileage for insurance purposes anyway, and only using the Golf in nice weather, it definitely makes sense and saves money to SORN it for 6 months over autumn/winter to save on tax costs.

Full comp on my cabby d reg with the wheels covered for 1750 and 3,000 miles limited with footman James was £95 this year £97  car is garaged over night tho can't beat that and I'm 27 :-)
