Since the insurance has run out on most of my motors and my main one
runs out in a month or two I was thinking about seeing if i could get
one policy to cover them all.
Has anybody got one of these? if so who with?
All my cars are technically 'classic' ones now (though i generally cant
insure the main one as such)
I've found heritage insurance so far who say they do one (and am waiting
for a call back). I've had the 101/landy with them in the past as they
are cheap individually. Who else is there to try?

Two from google. I've never explored this route yet though the 110 is cheap
enough as it is.

ive tried a multicar quote. They have 'LPG - low pressure gas' in their
list of optional mods (i was after LPG). great start.
Secondly - i cant seem to put my landy in as it wont let me choose
anything older than 1973.

I heard that Footman James do ... they've just taken over Firebond or
Pete Best (can't remember which, I'm with both) so should know what a
Land Rover looks like ...

Footman james are very good, and my dad uses them for 2 classics on the
same policy - but they wouldnt cover my 101 because it is camper converted.
They know what it is and their 'vintage commercial' dept are very
useful, but only if you have an original 101.
unless their terms have changed..

Tell me about it. I keep kidding myself that I am self employed but it
really seems I am working for an insurance company.

Oi. I used to have a Reliant. Never got around to making a 3WD one though.
I did consider it once or twice.

Time for me to move to the UK and keep doing insurance I think. We're
charging the current owner of my old garage about 900 quid a year - no
wonder I'm still poor.

The only thing I would mention is that when I had a policy covering all
vehicles, the terms were very different from those of standard insurance
regarding your No Claims Bonus - if I had an accident, I lost it all,
there was no NCB protection option, and because I didn't have individual
insurance, it was lost for all vehicles! I can't exactly recall as it
was a while ago now, but as I remember some of the terms of insurance
were stricter as well.
So, although it generally works out cheaper, I'd just say it is worth
checking exactly what cover you get compared to 'per vehicle' insurance.

point taken. I've now got 5 years NCB on my main car and wouldnt want to
loose that!

might just try grouping my classics together then and forget adding the
main car.

that's a very good point. NCB is per-vehicle/policy now, for almost[1]
every company. Also, if you have more then one vehicle on a policy, the
price is based on the sum of the individual policies, unless you restrict
driving to self-only, I guess.

Homefleet is the one your looking for
£1100 (approx)we were quoted fully comp on 300tdi disco 1 , td5 disco 2 ,
td5 90 , 109 station wagon , 88 series IIa (all listed as modified) and the
only query they had was........what do you do with all these landrovers?
We tried admiral....they were more expensive for just 2 of ours than we paid
for all of them!
Getting a quote is awkward in so much as you download the quote form and
then fax it to them(or find a local broker)

1990 RRC 3.9 Auto Vogue SE. Me + SWMBO: FC + Protected 70% NCD = £245
1993 Vauxhall Astra 1.9 Diesel. Me plus all manner of people including
18 year old provisionally licensed niece TPF+T and, in theory, only 2
years NCD(but see below) ~ £400 IIRC. The niece doubled the premium!
The figures are irrelevant except that the Astra shares the NCB earnt by
the RRC. Both are insured by Direct Line. I don't understand how it
works because both cars can be in use at any one time unlike the 'rider'
policies sometimes available to bikers where you are insured to ride one
of many bikes at a time, not all at the same time. I really laboured
this when adding the Astra but DL were adamant that the insurance is
effective.
The expiry date of the policies didn't mater either. The RR renews at
the end of January whereas the Astra is August (which is why I can't
remember the fee).

Total brain fade above - rather preoccupied with RR problems - delete
all references above to Direct Line and replace with More Than.
Sorry and all that.

Well, after all that it turned out to be academic as i looked up the
renewal date for my main car insurance and found that it had expired
last month - and I had to go to work so thought i better insure it again
- oops! - and renewing the old insurance was much less hassle.
The renewal quote had looked too much like junk mail so had been filed
straight in my recycling pile.
Was quite impressed when they recalculated it (cant take up the renewal
quote because it had expired) - as it went down by £30!
Have been getting a few more quotes and it looks like my increasing age
has reduced all the individual quotes nicely such that they are probably
cheaper than a multi-car one. :)
Main car - £225
88 LR for 1500 miles - £88!
101 with 5000 miles (IIRC) - £221
other old saab turbo 3000 miles - £205
