lauraJ 0 Posted January 11, 2011 Hi Quick question if I was to try and get a classic insurance policy for the corrado, but I'm already using my ncd on another car elsewhere. Would the classic insurance match my ncd? I remember reading somewhere that on classic policies they do but when looking on websites it seems to want a separate set of ncd. Anyone know the answer? Thanks Laura Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KIPVW 0 Posted January 11, 2011 Laura, Give Peter D James a call, Google them! as yours is over 20 years old it will qualify for classic policy and you will not need NCD either as they dont normally need it with a classic and my policy even has unlimited milage. a very good price too. I have the Nugget and the VR with them. Mention the CCGB also as this may help with a discount too. Let me know how you get on.. Kip Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boost monkey 0 Posted January 11, 2011 There's a lot of terms and conditions with that company, the one that rules me out (despite my old car) is they only insure people over the age of 30. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robbo101 0 Posted January 11, 2011 As stated above alot of classic car policies don't need a NCD. I used to be insured with Footman James (not the corrado) and they requied no proof or gave discounts for NCD. The only downside is u don't accumulate any either but as u r already getting it on your other car not a problem. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ohright, bonus of being an old fart then i guess, my nugget is insured fully comp with an agreed value for 4k for £144. :clap: Looks like they have done a cracking job of helping to get it repaired after my incident in October too, Well see how though soon as it goes in Monday....

boost monkey 0 Posted January 11, 2011 But I am happy your Corrado is insured with them Kip; I just did the online quote thing but no option to select a Corrado :-( so I did the next best thing and chose a mk2 golf gti and voila! £150 a year fully comp! now if only I was 30.... lol.

emu 0 Posted January 11, 2011 Does the classic insurance company's accept modified cars ?? Like suspension, different alloys, lights etc ?? or even turbo setup or corrado 4x4 ?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would have though not as that would be some extensive mods and deviating away from the classic (standardish) status, but may be worth asking anyway. :?

boost monkey 0 Posted January 12, 2011 I second footman James when I last used them. They used to offer to over 25s only so worth a call "car must be garaged at night". seems both companies have clauses to their very cheap premiums! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boost monkey 0 Posted January 18, 2011 if there is a company willing to offer classic insurance to modified Corrados, I know a ton of people would be up for it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joebloggsVR69 0 Posted January 26, 2011 My VR6 is on a classic policy, and I noticed the other nite that it says the car is only covered for theft & damage if the car is garaged when not in transit. So, if the car was stolen/damaged while I was visiting someone or parked at a show, the insurance wouldn't pay a penny.... What a joke! My fault for not reading the terms, but what sort of useless policy is that! Not worth the paper it's written on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boost monkey 0 Posted January 26, 2011 I managed to get a decent quote from FJ for my 1990 16v, despite it not being garaged ever. It was £150 FC albeit with 1500 miles limited. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was reading your post in your members gallery and called footman james today and got classic car insurance fully comp + all modification included (who said that classic insurance doesn't take modifications was wrong) for 290.72 for year including full local and europe breakdown cover albeit with 3k miles limited.

emu 0 Posted January 26, 2011 What mods do you have emu? Would be good to know what they are willing to cover. price without mods was 252.12 mods declared, alloys worth up to 800 quid, coilovers, different front and rear lights and that's all so far Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
