I alternate between them and Lancaster Insurance (was Sureterm) because all insurance companies quote higher for year 2.
Current fleet: '75 Sprint, '73 1850, Daihatsu Fourtrak, Honda CG125, Yamaha Fazer 600, Shetland 570 (yes it's a boat!)

Past fleet: Triumph 2000, Lancia Beta Coupe, BL Mini Clubman, Austin Metro, Vauxhall Cavalier MK1 & MK2, Renault 18 D, Rover 216 GSI, Honda Accord (most expensive car purchase, hated, made out of magnetic metal as only car I've ever been crashed into...4 times), BMW 318, Golf GTi MK3 16v x 3

I would rather put 30 quid in the petrol tank than pay a 25% increase for the same cover, shopping around is good, there's no discount for loyalty and only a increase in the price , Lancaster insurance are quoting £93 for the same cover and a £3000 increase in value.

I've been with Peter James for a number of years and have both my classics on one policy. Very easy to deal with and no out-of-order price hikes other than what you might expect from inflation. For my 1850 Dolly and my very heavily modified 4 litre MGB GTV8, this year's premium was £230. Last year it was £226. They have a full list of all the many mods on the MG. The BGT has an agreed value of £14,500 and the Dolly £4,000.

I did try them, but sadly could not compete on a multi car policy. Even though they were all classic's
