Title: insurance
Post by: pmacca on 18 May 2012, 18:57:47
I took delivery of my 2000 model year Omega CD four years or so ago thanks to my Dad, Since taking delivery she has been very much a secound car covering 500-1500 miles a year only comming out on warm sunny summer days.
Given the limmited millage and ongoing restoration I was pleased to get an insurance quote of under £300 despite the car falling well short of the 25 year "classic" status from Peter Best insurance meaning I can continue to enjoy my weekend play thing.

Thats still more that I pay for my 3.0l (by some margin), and not far off what I pay for my 2003 3.2 Elite with LPG.

Guess my postcode is good :D

I'd have been pleased with that kind of price when I last insured my Omega in its own right a few years ago. I had quotes of around £550 to £600 .......... must be my crappy post code.  ??? ???

Bury isn't that bad! Could be the trade? Age? Put the missus on the policy?

Internet-wise the opera bloke seems quite good but he couldn't beat my local insurance broker.

I'd like to think not  ::)

Could be the trade?
I'm a fitter going to & from a permanent place of work, no business

Age?
I'm 50 for Christ's sake

Put the missus on the policy?
She is, & has been for years.

Can't remember now, but don't think they were that competative.

All cars now on a multicar policy ....... c£850 for the 3 of them, but could have 4 on the policy.  :y :y

In fairness I am only 31 and have owned the car for four years with a clean license and no convictions, the car is garaged in a nice area and the quote is nearly half what am used too for the meg. That said this seems to be the first insurance company to listen to me!

She really does struggle for a thousand miles a year and is undergoing an extensive Restoration through Wilbury MOT & Service Center Hitchin every summer to return her to showroom condition after 12 years and 113000 miles in the family.

Thankfully it would seem that insurance quotes on these great cars are beginning to tumble, i to a have had what i consider extortionate quotes these past two years and as all ready been mentioned being over 50 do think my post code is of no help.

Christ on a bike, mine was only £1000 on a V6 when I was 19!

Thats still more that I pay for my 3.0l (by some margin), and not far off what I pay for my 2003 3.2 Elite with LPG.

Guess my postcode is good :D

Mine's £700 for an ex-plod 3.2, a factory Elite would be £600. But then my postcode falls between "Beirut" and "Moss Side"...
