Got a nice suprise today...I got a cheque from my classic car insurance company for £115 pounds. This was because they say I only did 1000 miles last year on my 8000 miles limit policy. Didnt know they give money back.

Bloody hell, never heard of that! Insurance normally rip you for every penny.

I even read the letter twice thinking I must have read it wrong :)

It was with Lynbrook insurance under equity red star. The cover even include free breakdown cover. So Iam now only paying £150 for a years cover.

With this classic car cover you CANT use the car to travel to and from work.

Yeah, FJ gave me a rebate recently too - £220. It was cheaper to take out a new policy with them to add the missus onto the Golf than it was to add her on an existing policy (go figure) and because I was on limited mileage and hadn't exceeded my limit by then they gave me about 30% of the premium back! They didn't want any confirmation at all, just told them on the phone that I hadn't gone past it.

 

It nicely paid for the deposit on the new policy.

 

Edit: FJ are quite happy to let you use the car for commuting also, I do 1000+ miles a month at the moment.
