Panic Insurance question

[angus]

B*gger - got a day to sort out insurance for the van!! Who was it on here that does insurance - sure-something? Any others to try?
Got to take a guess at the value of my van aswell - very early (67) 68 Bay, Canterbury Pitt, pretty original etc - not been on the market for 17 years - what is a good figure to start at for a quote, even if I get an agreed value later!
Sorry - I know these are common questions.....

Footman james or AON Private Client insurance, are 2. I have unlimited milage on my 66 bug valued at £8000 and the van at £10K for £200 a year. They didnt require an independent valuation either.

Thanks guys - I know it is a common question, and every quote if different, but at least it gives me a starting point. I'll take a guess on value of van at about 5k for quote purposes...

Although may be higher to 'replace'....

Update so far FYI:
Adrian Flux: £125 plus £75 full Euro/UK breakdown, based on 3000 miles
Footman James : £139 incl all above...

what would be your annual mileage?

 

[angus]

pretty low realistically - at least initially...

 

[angus]

depends if we take it on a euro tour I guess!

 

[angus]

Ah - just been corrected by Footman James - if the vehicle is over 30 years old, its either 1500 limited, or unlimited, so the quote I got is unlimited after all...

I always found that Equity Red Star were the cheapest - and roadside recovery chucked in too!!
