I tried Footman James for my 88 Ur-q - no joy on classic rating, infact the
guy was so off-hand that I just said thanks and put the phone down.
Livingstones quoted GBP450 fully comp, no classic because I use it as a
daily driver 15k+ miles a year.
Ashbourne Insurance Services quoted GBP350 fully comp, 42 year old driver
full NCB, no modifications, Cat 1 immobiliser. (Still no classic though).
