Hi all,

There's plenty who do classic car insurance.
Personally, I use Footman James, and CA paid club members get a 10% discount as well!
Can't comment on premiums as everyone will be different, but I would expect to pay between £150 to £250 with an agreed value in place or around £7500.

footman james were significantly cheaper for me than the owners club scheme, and as Coxy says, the cost of joining here is a one off £7.50 (???) and for that you get 10% off the premium- seems like a no brainer to me!!

the owners club was sh1t, theres some one else on board now i think but check with a few
You could try paul at www.needtoinsure.co.uk , he is very sharp and deals with many many classic cars, he has several himself and knows the market inside out

Just changed it once in 3 years but would like an even cheaper solution soon, that's why I ask my question.

in theory you can change it as many times as you want to in a year, but why would you want to? You've already paid once afterall.
There's no reasomn at all why you shouldn't change at the end of the cover. usually its for a year and then most sensible people would shop around to see if they can get a better quote.

Ditto JJ and RTZ62
I've got two of mine on one policy with Paul as well. Very reasonable price.
