Modern classic insurance
Hello all,
Not posted for ages but the 480 is still going strong and looking good.
I am thinking of buying another vehicle, possibly an estate for family use and keepig the volvo as a second car, does anyone have there 480 insured as a "modern classic" or is this just a myth, I have just tried a couple on line and don't seem to be getting anything cheaper than what I have now. ot a call from one of them who ddn't think that the 480 could be insured as a classic but I'm sure I've read it somewhere on here.
If you do have classic ins, please post company names.
Cheers

Mines insured through Adrian Flux but not as a modern classic. They also insure my Fastback, fully comp £97/yr! Bloody awsome

Your best bet in these cases is to ring the companies. I've got a 1987 Manta insured with RH on a classic policy although they charged an extra premium over the 1984 Monza I had before, as the car was under 21 years old, so you may get lucky with your 480.
2010 Megane Coupe DCi (Jayne's daily drive), 2001 Mini Cooper(daily), 1973 Manta SR.
Yeh Adrian Flux are definately very cheap for the 480

I got a quote for my old 480 turbo from tesco, so it's worth a try. It wasn't modded though. Easy way round that one though.....just don't tell 'em

I'm with Tesco now, as they were the only company that would transfer my 2 years NCB across from my bike to the car. I had the car under Mummy's name before you see
I'm only 21 and it's cost me £462, so could be worse. Last year, I couldn't insure a 480 turbo, but when I tried a few months back (after 21st birfyday) it was cheaper to insure than my 460?!?!
I phoned up and told them about the Longlife Exhaust too, but they said it didn't make a difference.
