You can get wildly different quotes online depending on the time of day, day of week and how far in advance you want it to start

Seems it is now best to get quotes at least 21 days before you have a renewal.

This is very true. I just found the chap I spoke to with AF rude and pushy.
My series is pretty standard. Worth asking though. They have been very good with me.

Alas mine is modified so most companies don't want to know, but when AF was fifty quid cheaper then my renewal from Brentacre this year then they can be as rude as they like

Not bad not bad at all. I just didn’t appreciate the AF guys attitude. He quoted me higher than the previous year. Then when I said I’d call him back as I was going to shop around a bit, he tried his damnedest to make me pay for insurance and then “if not happy with it, apply for a refund”. He was just a tad pushy and rude and I didn’t appreciate it.Alas mine is modified so most companies don't want to know, but when AF was fifty quid cheaper then my renewal from Brentacre this year then they can be as rude as they like
Went back to admiral, told them, they knocked £80 off so I was happy.

Better than Lancaster,
Last Year, the guy there insisted my 300tdi was a 3 litre and I must work for a recovery company as I have a winch.
This Year, they said they would call me back and never bothered.
I shall enjoy having a chat when I see the lancaster booth at the shows.

Mine's £301 and I'm 46, they reckon it's cos it's got 7 seats. Insurance is a scam anyway especially all this no claims discount BS

Mine is listed as 2 seats as it’s omlymgot two legal seatbelted seats. My last quote was for about £380 before I added legal and breakdown cover.
Oh yeah for sure on the scam side, I had to argue not getting a larger premium for my 2nd year with them. After arguing she said “oh so we see you’re a good driver... blah blah”

Car insurance is nothing but a racket, I've owned & insured dozens of vehicles over the last 55 years & there often seems no logical explanation for some of the quotes.
I insured my '87 RRC with Heritage for 5 years, then last year the premium went all silly & they wouldn't reduce it to anything near the previous. I changed brokers & got a good deal, then a week later Heritage emailed me stating that 'we will beat any quote' What a load of bol...ks
Do what most owners do these days, use the comparison sites but you could have problems with 'mods'
