Despite having a clean licence for years with no accidents or convictions and previously a full NCB, at the age of nearly nearly 50 I have ended up with a situation where I have no bonus as I have not used it for 10 years due to having had a motor trade policy. Garage is now closed, the traders policy bonus is not transferable to a personal policy and have been getting quotes of around £1500 - £2000 to insure a small cheap car privately.

Looking to buy a RR which I could insure on a flat rate classic policy as a second car. Have used Footman James in the past, they say has to be over 15yrs old making a 1998 or older vehicle a possibility. Anybody any experiance of the cut off dates for other classic policy companies? Also any experiance of insuring lpg conversions with them?
 
Unless there's something else that you're not mentioning I'm surprised at your quotes.
I've got me (P38) and her (Focus) with Admiral for less than half of that. It would be less if she didn't have a habit of ripping the sides out of cars.

Go online and try Admiral. Then, if you have the patience and enjoy playing these robbing b******s at their own game, use that as your best offer and try Elephant, then Diamond, then Bell. They're all the same company so it's the same application form just with a different coloured backing !
Then, if you fancy it, you could go round again. I regularly get about a third knocked off their annual renewal. It's a bit boring but how else are you going to 'make' a few hundred quid sat at home one evening.
 
add another person to the policy as a named driver - doing this chopped my quote in half!!

Try: Sureterm Direct
 
Thanks everyone. Got initial affordable low mileage quote with admiral around £320 3000miles with no ncb. Looks like this might be a way forward. Just need to find Rangie now. Thanks
