Your car isnt old enough for a start. Plus the DVLA done away historic/classic vehicle taxation class years ago. The cars that do have this class would have been registered pre 1970 ish. So maybe the insurance companies followed suit and will only give you the special insurance if your car is actually registered as historic or classic with the DVLA. Then you would have to declare that your car isnt driven for more than a couple of hundred miles a year too.

Depends on the company.

What they want is a middle aged, no points, no claims, low mileage driver who wants to insure it as a second car.

Not even close. Come back in about 15 years or so....

the AA work with a company for classic cars. As long as the driver is 25 or older, the car is over 15 yrs old and doesn't do more than 7,500 miles a year

Your car wont be able to it has to be 15 years old and you cant drive it everyday you can only drive it a certain number of miles a month. So if you use this car everyday you wont get classical insurance to have cheaper insurance.

Usually 20 years old. A lot of companies also insist that the owner must be 25 or older and a member of the relevant car club too, often they will also ask for a valuation of your vehicle from a club official. Usually they'll limit your mileage and also require you to have another car for everyday purposes. Basically this is to prevent people going out buying an old heap and trying to get cheap insurance on it. (PS not implying that this is what you're doing, but I know people who have tried it!!!)

to a classic car it has to be 25 years or more,but you can insure it as a modern day classic,but they will restrict your mileage and want a valuation and possibly pictures to prove condition.

Your car probably won't meet the criteria for a "classic car" for purposes of cheaper insurance (yet). Maybe in a few more years. I provided you with a link of one of the large classic car insurance companies. Hope that helps.

It really depends on the company you use, but they should start at 15 years, however they usually impose a yearly mileage limit of 3-500 miles and require it not to be your primary car ;) so make sure you can live within that before you sign up.

Hope that helps, good luck!

you still have a bit of a wait I'm - afraid to qualify the car must be 25 years old so anything younger than 1981 wont qualify

United Kingdom - There is no fixed definition of a Classic car. Two taxation issues do impact however, leading to some people using them as cut off dates. All cars first registered before 1 January 1973 are free from paying the annual vehicle excise duty. The government Revenue and Customs define a classic car for company taxation purposes as being over 15 years old and having a value in excess of £15,000.

A car is considered a classic when it reaches the age of 25 years.
