Insurance for £90?

Post by Fozzie »

A recent ad for a 1980 T25 pop-top on eBay quoted the feature "Classic insurance just £89". Was this just wishful thinking, or have I missed something obvious that everyone else knows about?

I pay £118 for mine, so I guess it is possible, but very few people would get it hat cheap

just got mine for £118.
5000 miles
breakdown cover
european cover

so with less miles and a higher voluntary excess, perhaps this is possible.
