Hi All,
I thought I would let you all know about a new Classic Insurance company out there who seem to be making a big hit with lots of Triumph owners.
Peter James Insurance (Tel 0845 0999 500) <A>www.peterjamesinsurance.co.uk</A>
Peter James used to be the James part of Footman James until recently, and he has now set up on his own.
I always used to use Peter Best, paying about £120 - £140 per year for agreed value, limited mileage policies for the S Estate, Stag and Sam\'s Moggie Woodie.
I have just taken up a Multi Car policy with Peter James for the following;
MKII PI     Agreed Value £12k
S Estate   Agreed Value £6k
Stag         Agreed Value £10k
Moggie      Agreed Value £7k
All on UNLIMITED mileage, including free UK and Eurpean Breakdown and Recovery cover, on one policy for £289............
How good is that???
Highly recommended to all.............

Trust me, the car is stunning.
Alan\'s claims about Peter James Insurance are well founded.
I was paying £105 to insure my saloon, and was quoted an additional £140 to insure my estate.  There was a limit of 3000 miles per annum.
PJ quoted £113 to insure BOTH cars, unlimited mileage and with occasional commuting use thrown in.  The only condition is that I own another everyday car.
A sensible insurance company?  Whatever next?

That seems a very good deal, i just insured mine with limited mileage the wife as a named driver and it was £110 a year with lancaster insurance. Which is still a brilliant price compared to modern cars.
So straight through a mot 12 months free road tax and £110 a year insurance could there be a better reason for owning a classic!

I wouldn\'t be surprised if I end up with Peter James this year. I\'ve been with Footman James (via the TSSC) for as long as I can remember. When I first started with them in the mid 1980s FJ were top notch. For various reasons I don\'t feel that way about them now <img> This year I paid £380 to insure the Spitfire 2500 (agreed value £11,750) and the Saloon (nominal £1k value, it\'s a bit tatty at the edges) both unlimited mileage. Based on Alan\'s experience it looks like I should be able to get a much better deal with Peter James. Cheers, Bill

Sounds good,
My 2500s is with Adrian Flux and that costs me £300 TPFT. Mind you I am 23 and only have 3 years NCB.
Worth a try y\'think?

I would, nothing to loose!
£300 does sound a bit steep for 3rd party, but like you say, your age is against you.
