draper40 Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Hey, After passing my driving test yesterday it was with trepidation I started to phone around for insurance quotes on my 1985 200tdi 90 with 2 inch lift. Quite a few quotes came in around the expected £1500-£2500 mark but then I phoned Footman James classic cars and they agreed to insure me, as the policy holder, having been a legal driver for 1 day for £790! They're classic car policy is valid for anything over 15 years old. It's third party fire and theft with restricted mileage- 4000 I think. Pretty good way to get started!

tommi Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Thats pretty cheap. Do you know who you spoke to? According to their website, they wont insure anyone under 25 on a classic policy. I may have to give them a ring, as my insurance renewal is pretty soon . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 That's...... very very good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 I was with them last year, paid about £460 TPF+T on my 90. I was 20 at the time of taking the insurance out. Went with Adrian Flux this year, paying about £450 fully comp now, plus they gave me a good deal on the Series III as well. Your price is very good considering your age and inexperience, good job Enjoy Land Rover motoring! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axlechorus Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 That is a superb Price. I am paying just over £700 for my disco (TPF+T) this year and thats being 19 with 2 years no claims at the start of the policy. Sounds like I shall certainly need to give them a ring come insurance renewal time in september. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axlechorus Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 FYI just phoned Footman James after a qoute for my discovery and they will not insure anything over insurance group 10 with someone under the age of 25 so thats Discovery's out but Defenders at group 9 are ok.

Rich_P Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 FJ were the only broker that could come out with a decent quote for my 88. £500 TPFT 6000 mile policy. I'm 20. I'm hoping it will drop a bit when I turn 21. All other companies were wanting in excess of £1,500 or more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 I tried footman James, wouldnt cover me as it was too modified and I wanted to do more than 8K miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
