I think that relates to tax exemption?
I believe insurance companies can set their own time frame for ' classic ' insurance

thing with classic insurance there generally caped mileage and restrictions so if its your daily driver doing thousands of miles a year it may be difficult to insure on a classic policy
my policy premium was kept down due to 3000 miles a year maximum

Yeah mine is 3000 miles a year but that suits me fine. Definately something worth considering though if you do a lot of miles.

Going to have to give some of these a ring. Got my insurance renewal through today from Lancaster and it's gone from £186 to £681 !!!!!
Thats on a 2000 TD5 with full no claims and 4000 miles a year.
I was expecting a slight rise in price but this seems a bit steep to me.

Gosh
Looks like they've taken the same numbers from last year, and just arranged them in a different order!
Could have been £861 - maybe that's 2013's renewal figure

Just given them a ring to see if they could do anything on the price and was told it was correct but they could knock around £10 off !!!
Didn't seem that interested in keeping me happy or my business.
Time to look elsewhere i think.

Hi Buddy
I had some issues this year insuring my 110/ defender but Sureterm steered me to a cheap insurance policy - has limited miles but covers all mods and is fully com was under £200.

Whenever I've asked for. Tpft quote it's been buttons less than fully comp, and i mean £20 less on a £300 policy, did you get a fully comp quote

When I got my renewal from Lancaster recently my premium had gone up from £200 to £380 ("we have scoured the universe for the best price for you" etc).
I went onto their website as a new customer and got a quote for £140! When I ran them to to check this they merely said, "But it's a different insurance company".
Go figure.
