Why choose laid up car insurance with Footman James?

At Footman James we understand that every classic vehicle owner is not always out and about in their vehicle and may decide to declare their vehicle as SORN.

Some may choose to tinker with their pride and joy in a restoration project; others may store their asset away in the garage and some of us like our classic to take the limelight at an exhibition or competition; but do we all have the right insurance?
