I like that about them too, they have a genuine friendly telephone manner at least, not a fake taught one like most places these days!
I don't even price the classic insurance anymore, just let it continue on.

Hi Everyone,
As most of you will know, we've been part of the furniture here for many years now and my time here has mainly been spent lending a hand with general Insurance related queries, or helping more specifically in a hands on way with Greenlight related things for existing and potential customers.
Autoline have been covering classics for years, they've plenty of experience with classics and they're a really good option. But Greenlight would also be able to offer cover for genuine classic models if anyone would like another option or something to compare their existing cover/offer to.
We have at least 2 products that cover genuine classic models, we also have plenty of other products that would be able to cover modified classics. Particularly where there are tasteful modifications that fit with or enhance the original vehicle's character, or smart upgrades that improve the function of the part they replace.
Our classic car policies aren't expensive in comparison to everyday polices, they're mileage focussed and reward low mileage. These products also include agreed value as an option (if you don't mind sending the required photo's in) and the vehicle would need to be your 2nd (non-everyday) drive to qualify, as the classic products are not aimed at everyday cars.
As a firm, we always look to cover vehicles that have a cherished factor or that put a smile on your face. Which with the nostalgia that most owners' feel for their classic's, the classic models certainly do.
Kind regards
Tony

As you probably already realise Autoline is the place to go .They were cheaper by hundreds for my Jaguar XKR and added my wife free of charge. I understand that Jags and Porsche are eligible for classic ins.from 10 yrs and most others are 15 yrs but not 100% as I was only intrested in my Jag .I always use Coleraine because they are so helpful
Just insured my Saab Convertible on a Classic policy with Autoline, endorse all the good things already said about them on here.
An absolute pleasure to deal with, great price & did everything in their power to accommodate.
I've no affiliation with them either, just a happy customer...!

Im really struggling to get cover here, i rang RH today ( my previous insurer ) they came back with £147 based on my old policy, i then told them about the further modications which is mainly the nitrous and they refused to insure it, even though the nitrous would only be used at the track. Ive rang 3 more today, all refused a classic policy with the nitrous.
Greenlight quoted ( funnily enough they are based in good old hometown Billiericay ) they came in circa £272 but that wasnt a classic policy. Im running out of ideas other than bin the gas.

Try....... Footman James....... for classic insurance with mods.
i have an agreed value with them on the Ascona, and there is very little of it standard.
Didn't list the modifications as such, got a valuation from a members club which they accepted.
Good stuff, there may be hope for me then lol
Got an online quote from them for £260

Aye their quotes seem pretty good. I tried admiral on a S2000 they were quoted like 700+ for stock, went to footman james and it was like 230 with all mods declared.

Yeah autoline covered my Capri which was changed under the bonnet. They asked for a full mods list and then gave me a cost.
They came in at £350, so not bad. Only downside is the policy doesn't keep my full no claims bonus ticking over
Waiting to hear back from a few other places before I make a decision.
