    Hi. Im considering buying a 17 year old car but Im concerned about insuring it. I have a daily driver (Allianz) and a classic (FBD). What options do I have to insure it, can I insure it on as a classic with limited mileage. Wont be using it as a daily. I know it was done in the past but insurers are tightening up with many now strictly 20+ years.

    If this is discussed in detail on another thread please direct me to same as I searched and couldn't find a discussion that helped me.

    Thanks in advance as any advice very much appreciated.

    Is a classic car not 30 years as is my 2nd car as it is taxed as a classic and used slightly every now and again.

    I would consider asking if it can be insured and how much as companies dont like old cars.

    Thanks for getting back greasepalm. Yes a classic is 30 years or older but some companies can and do insure younger cars as classics. Autoline I think does so but recently some have been finding it more difficult to get their 17 / 18 year old cars insured this way. would multi car insurance options help and are they out there?

    No idea if something like go compare might have ideas on insuring old cars and price structure.
