Our classic car insurance is not limited to just these models though, we can arrange insurance policies for a wide range of makes and models.
What classifies as a classic car?
Deciding what cars classify as a classic has been a matter of much debate.

If you are unsure about whether your vehicle is applicable for this cover you can request a quote online.
