Mines with Hagerty just had renewal through £200 - 5000 miles agreed value and includes both UK and EU
breakdown cover- you can only increase the mileage to 6000 though for a small add on premium.
Cheers Ron
Ps V.O.G.

I'm 25, and just got a classic car policy with Hagerty - agreed value, 5000 miles p/a limit, no engine mods allowed...at £186.27!
No additional costs for the proposed roll cage, bucket seats, racing harnesses and coil-over suspension upgrades either! What a result - without this forum I wasn't even aware of Hagerty's existance!

I was 23 when I got my Lux (which feels like an awfully long time ago) and hadn't been driving for long so getting quotes was a bit tricky. In the end I found that I got the best quotes from the big firms, first with Direct Line and then Tesco. None of the specialists seemed interested, although this was possibly because it was my only car and I did 12k a year.
Given your budget I guess this might be a 2nd car or limited mileage policy, so the above probably wouldn't be of much use...
However today I reinsured the 944S through Aon to make it my primary car as I'd used up most of my mileage allowance in 6 months (which has been a pain as I've been put off going to a lot of events because of it). Their service has been very good so far and I can recommend them.
Can't say I'm looking forward to reinsuring the white car when it's due in March, it's currently with HIC but I've had two ludicrously over the top quotes from them recently so I think I'll need to go elsewhere and getting quotes when you have lots of mods is very boring [

Just joined this thead to echo the above!
I know I'm banging on here, but the Club do free insurance-approved valuations, and you should get a discount on the premium. That alone pays the flippin' subscription each year, let alone everything else you get. [&:]
Just to warn you, I've had a case today of a guy who joined the Club 18 months ago, got a valuation, and an agreed value, and didn't renew. His car was hit, and the insurers are offering a far lower value as it doesn't have a current valuation from an approved Club, and he isn't a member of a Club to get a current approved valuation! Of course he's asked me to help, and I will do what I can, but it's understandable that insurers are dramatically down-valuing cars and are looking for any excuse to avoid paying any more than necessary. You've been warned....get an agreed value from somewhere, or don't complain if you are unlucky enough to need a payout.

Just a quick OT question whilst I think of it. The white car will have limited mileage insurance on it of say 5k this year, I don't intend to be insured for track use which could account for a reasonable percentage (say 1/4th) of those miles.
An insurer I spoke to recently said tough luck, you lose those miles out of your allowance even though you're unisured during them.
Whilst I realise it would be difficult to prevent abuse, I'd have thought it would be possible to declare track miles if documented carefully. Is this the same with all limited mileage policies or are some more flexible?

I'm 20 and got my insurance for my S2 from the Autotrader site, it's gone down to £4,000 for me which means that it'll be in my name soon rather than my mum's, it was £7,200 when I 1st got it 2 years ago. I've got no NCBs at all, the turbos are a couple hundred quid cheaper I've found.
