How great was this summer’s show season?

The memories of weekend shows with friends, classic car cruises and summer awards presentations will be keeping us cosy all winter. We even look back fondly on those wet weekends when the show carried on regardless and we waded through show fields in our wellies (yes, there has been a few this year!).

So, as we move into autumn, thoughts turn to classic car maintenance, restoration projects and breakfast runs on fresh autumnal mornings. Whether you keep your classic vehicle running all through the winter, or tucked up in the garage after a service, there is always lots to do.

In this latest update we bring you highlights from Sunday Scramble, celebrate a great show season with the Pride of Ownership showcase launch, warm you up with AfricanPorsche road trip tales, and find out about our invaluable laid-up cover to protect your classic this winter.

Wishing you a great autumn season!


Out & About: Last Sunday Scramble of 2019
The autumn Sunday Scramble at Bicester Heritage has become a super-charged 'cars and coffee' style event. with classics, retro and modified vehicles turning up in their hundreds for a morning get together and a bacon roll. https://www.classiclineinsurance.co.uk/ ... e-of-2019/


Live: Pride of Ownership showcase
Celebrate this summer’s show season and vote for your champion of champions in the ClassicLine Pride of Ownership showcase! Featuring the winners of this year’s Gemini Events Pride of Ownership awards, you can now nominate your favourite vehicle to crown the overall winner and Pride of Ownership Champion. https://www.classiclineinsurance.co.uk/ ... ship-vote/


Warm up with AfricanPorsche Road Trip Memories
To attempt to cross the African continent in an old Porsche is, frankly, tempting fate. But fate was exactly what Ben from Pub2Pub chose for his long suffering '944. With over 200,000 miles on the clock, its days as his everyday transport were clearly numbered; but it didn't seem right to simply sell it. One last adventure was needed. A chance to go out with a bang.

This is the story of the AfricanPorsche road trip. This intoxicating read will have you on the edge of your seat as you travel with Ben through the sights of Europe and African and feel the pain of the breakdowns!

Why you need Laid-Up Insurance
As the season draws to a close, it's often a time when you make a start on a project in the garage, or SORN your classic off the road for some much-needed maintenance after a busy summer season of driving. But this can often be when your car is most vulnerable. Our invaluable laid-up cover will protect your unused vehicle, it's spare parts and accessories whilst they are kept in a locked garage or building.

As has the chance to delve into those vehicle maintenance jobs you’ve been putting off or even making a start on the next project. Most of you who usually have oily fingers may now have green fingers with immaculate gardens and well organised garages. Plus, if you have discovered those prickly rose plants in the garden you may, like us, have also found the individually wrapped, chocolate tin, variety too. There is no denying the “Lockdown Stone” is real…

So, what’s next?

As the country adjusts to our new normal with caution, you may be looking to move your vehicle off a laid-up policy to on-the-road cover. Our team will be able to help you with this transition.

We’d also love to see the progress of any of your projects whilst we have all been in lockdown. Feel free to share these at pr@classiclineinsurance.co.uk.

15% premium discount

European cover up to 90 days
