Most companies will only do vintage insurance if the you have modern car as you're main car. Vintage insurance is generally mileage restricted for occasional use.

Mileage restriction its no problem for me. I calculate mileage what i make is 7000 miles per year. some insurance companies have limit 10000 miles. I just need find company which does not require to have other main car. I don't expect the prices to be 300 € but i don't want pay 2000€.

I don't know of an insurance company that will do main car on a vintage policy. As has been said , you'll need to be insured on another non vintage car first.
Restricted miles normally means about 3000 a year ...

First Ireland might still do, but if you don't have other main car, they'll be wanting a lot of money. Especially with no NCD / No Claims Discount.

Call them and let us know what they say. http://www.firstireland.ie/index-2-personal-classic.php

My guess: 1500 EUR.

You'll just have to suck-up the cost of insurance and look on the bright side and think of the cheap motor tax / NCT exempt instead.:pac:

i'm insured fine on classic car insurance with my 93 bmw 740 with axa and it's the main and only car on the policy.
costs me 450 a year, but limited to 15000km per year, but i dont use anything near that,

i make insurance in AXA 1100€ but i need make engineering report for them.
They need have prof about technical condition of my Beetle.
Maybe some one know where I can make near drogheda, balbriggan ?

For me it's crazy because to check lights, brakes, suspension etc. i can go to some garage.

There's a lot more to an engineering report than that. €1,100 is a good insurance quote in your situation. Next year it will probably be €900 or less if you have no claims

Let us know how you are getting on!

If you don't have another car and a policy on that, you could well find that your policy is void should it come to a claim. Axa stipulate that you have to have an everyday policy as well as a classic policy. You might want to check with them in case an error has been made!

How about putting it through an NCT ? They will test older cars if requested, only €55 and they will be lenient on emissions on an older car.

Try Cosy Classics or Emilio's Beetles, they regularly do engineers reports for insurance purposes, along with valuation (very important).
