car insurance
Just been shopping around for insurance on Discovery I have just bought - leading companies wanted around the £1000 mark - even direct choice who are always the cheapest on normal cars. Firebond who are dirt cheap on classics wanted £1100. Best quote of all - NFU £395!!!!
To sum up
Cars over 10yrs old classic insurance - Firebond
Normal and performance cars - Direct Choice(Taylor price)
4x4s - NFU
Well this is what I have found after a lot of time and effort!!!

car insurance
just insured my discovery online with the RAC - £230 fully comp for a @97 v8 ES - beat the next best quote by £50!! The are probably trying that bit harder because they are trying to boost their insurance sector. being an RAC member got me a bit extra off plus they upgraded my membership a level.

Love my 110 V8 and I can actully get 18mph out of it - not bad for an old brick but for towing my Rib longer distances it just has to be diesel.
Got to be honest though if I had found a nice V8 with a good LPG kit I could have been tempted but I also want to travel abroad and LPG can be hard to find in some areas!!!

Either you're stuck in low range or you meant mpg

Fuel economey is pretty good at 60mph but as soon as you put your foot down - ouch!!!

Just the other day, when paying Norwich Union over the phone, I was invited to take RAC cover for a good price. "You do know we've bought out the RAC." said the man at NU. Pete L, guess who you're really insured with.

I got £320 with PNB, One accident and a fairly new 4 X 4 from elephant.
And when I used them they were excellent.
All claims done over the phone or internet. Hire car no problem. Certainly although I felt I was paying cheap prices the service felt excellent.
Give thema try. they are part of Admiral.
I was with Admiral before and they were £100 more expensive.
