but the older you are, the better from an insurers point of view....my grandads driving would argue that, but hey ho!
also it depends on the car too,
I had to pull kris knott insurance about their classic car policy shite, as they had a one for cars over 15 years old, ( my rover was 17 years old at the time)
they wouldn't even entertain it as it wasn't something like a alfa or a mini! I told them, so well if your only gonna recognise certain cars, then your advertisement is highly miss leading then! they sharp pulled the advertisement!
also a lad that was on the metro owners club, had a Austin metro 998cc on an F plate. he was 17 at the time, he couldn't get insured on it. as some insurers wanted daft money or would touch it due to the age of the car,
I didn't bother insuring my metro as a classic as with it been modified. as I don't think you can get modified classic car policies.
