when does a landrover become a classic ?

landrover discovery 300 tdi ES model january 1998first registerd when does my landrover qualify for clasic car insurance is it 15yrs or 25yrs i was told it is 15 yrs true or false and which is the best insurance company too use thanks

I presume it's 15 as I'm on a classic policy and she ain't 25 yet lol. Search insurance on ere plenty of Fred's bout it.

Insurance companies say 15 years for the purpose of insuring a vehicle with an agreed value but that is an option.

Justask yer insurance they are all different

Its different dependant on the company, I have had 1991 vehicles refused yet my 1996 disco is on a classic...

What purpose do you use your Disco for, that must be the question, If you go out playing, the chances are you wont be covered on a classic policy. (Comp) Bit of light Green lanes you still may not be covered.

Ask the Question loads insurance companies looking for Biz.:search:

I also run a 1976 car so that is a classic car and insure as such, with a classic policy an insurance expect you only to do a low milage ie. weekends and laid up in the winter, which most classics are, so a low risk although you will still have to declare you expected annual mileage, for me that just the minimum 1000miles.
With a classic policy you can also get an agreed value for the vehicle, also you don't always receive a NCB, not a problem for most classic car owners.

I've just this month insured my 93 200tdi disco. I previously had it on a classic/offroad policy and it cost me pennies. I had a V8 rangey classic and that also cost me pennies to insure. In both cases it was because it was not my primary vehicle. As soon as the vehicle becomes your daily driver and not your weekend hack the insurance more than doubles. I now pay close to £400 when it used to be about £200 including full European breakdown cover. If you run the wagon as a second car make sure to tell them.

and heritage are good
A-Plan thatcham do a very good green laning policy and if you haggle it a bit you can knock a bit off.
