Hi everyone,

We hope that you are all ok and have stayed safe these past few months?

You don’t need us to tell you that the last three months have been pretty tough. But collectively we have all persevered, observed the rules and have protected those that we care about.

Of course, we’ve all been missing the things that we usually enjoy; the car shows, and regular club meets, but the virtual shows and Friday night club Zoom catch ups have got us through! As has the chance to delve into those vehicle maintenance jobs you’ve been putting off or even making a start on the next project. Most of you who usually have oily fingers may now have green fingers with immaculate gardens and well organised garages. Plus, if you have discovered those prickly rose plants in the garden you may, like us, have also found the individually wrapped, chocolate tin, variety too. There is no denying the “Lockdown Stone” is real…

At ClassicLine, members of our team have been able to work successfully from home, as well as from the office. We have adjusted our HQ to be Covid secure and are continuing to be able to be able to offer the personalised service you expect from us.

So, what’s next?


As the country adjusts to our new normal with caution, you may be looking to move your vehicle off a laid-up policy to on-the-road cover. Our team will be able to help you with this transition.

We’d also love to see the progress of any of your projects whilst we have all been in lockdown. Feel free to share these at pr@classiclineinsurance.co.uk.


Here’s a quick refresher on what’s included for Classic Corvette Club UK members:
15% premium discount
All modifications considered
Legal protection up to £100,000
Full UK & EU breakdown cover including home-start
European cover up to 90 days
Agreed valuation available
A range of annual mileage options are available

When you next need a quote or are renewing, talk to ClassicLine on 01455 639 000, making sure you mention you are a member of the Classic Corvette Club UK to get your 15% discount. Or, leave us a message via our contact form Contact Us | Classicline Insurance.

Finally, we've made it easier for you to renew your policy.
For all those who are working around the clock and unable to contact us during regular office hours, you can now renew your policy online. Once you have received your renewal invite, visit Renew Online | Classicline Insurance to renew online.

Take care all!

Hi everyone,

As we are all looking forward to getting out and about more this summer, it’s a great time for a quick reminder of ClassicLine’s affiliation with the Classic Corvette Club UK and the flexible insurance cover options available to help you get the most out of your cherished vehicle this summer.

It really has been great to get a bit of normality back recently and attend a few shows. Take a look at some of the highlights from Sunday Scramble and the Retro Rides Weekender, both great events which we would definitely recommend. There are plenty more shows in the diary, so look out for a few more highlights coming soon.

Over on our news blog, we’ve collaborated on a few new features. If you are thinking of importing a vehicle from abroad and want to know how to insure it, take a look at how to buy a hotrod from America, and if you are hankering for an overseas road trip, here’s what a serial roadtripper does when a pandemic hits.

Car clubs are of course still at the heart of what we do and we are really pleased to say that our club of the month series is back, and you can check out this month’s star club here.

Wishing you a great summer, and we hope to see some of you at a show soon!

Hi everyone,

The clocks have gone forward. Spring is in the air (maybe…). And show season is about to get underway. Let's do this!

April is always a fun month with shows and meets. But it is also a busy time in the office as our team assists with insurance renewals and quote enquiries. As you prepare to get back out and enjoy all that the new season has to offer, it is a great time to check that your agreed valuation is up to date.

Remember, your agreed valuation has to be renewed every two years. So, whether you choose to use your car clubs’ valuations service or would like our team to arrange an agreed valuation for you, you’ll have the peace of mind that your cherished vehicle has been valued accurately and will therefore be insured at its true value.

Quick question. What qualifies a vehicle's eligibility for classic insurance status?

I'm not clear on whether its age, mileage, usage, rarity or what have you. Any clarity would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi phild, thanks very much for the question. This is a commonly asked question, but one that is quite difficult to answer. With regards to the marque of car that the club represents, Corvettes are looked at as classic or modern classics depending on their age and we have products that cover all Corvette models. You are welcome to give us a call on 01455 639 000 and we'd be more than happy to help further. Thank you very much, ClassicLine.

ClassicLine - for a car (Corvette) to be classed as a 'modern classic' (rather than a more traditional, perhaps 40 year old limited mileage 'classic') can you tell us the age requirements please (so minimum/maxium vehicle age)

if this helps they currently insure my 2019 C7 ZR1

I wondered the age 'parameters'. Currently typical 40+ y/o classics are measured in low hundreds of pounds - conventional insurance on later American cars will obviously be several times that cost - kinda wanted to know the 'tipping' point as to what maximum/minimum years qualify.

An interesting and timely discussion as I have the C3 insured with Classic Line and I am considering asking for a quote on my 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee Ltd. 5.7 Litre Hemi if it qualifies . It has 77,000 fully documented miles and immaculate inside and out and I only do about 4000 miles a year in it .

My 2016 Mustang insurance has just come up for renewal and as I already have three classics insured with Adrian Flux I thought I'd give them a try on the 'Stang. The passing of time has meant that I am now in the high risk 80+ age group - not undeservedly since I drove into the back of someone back in August, which did reinforce the fact that my reflexes have definitely slowed down - do take evasive action if you ever see me in the 'Vette!
Anyway, Flux wanted over £2K to insure the 'Stang so my search has widened......:(
