Who are Nissan?

The company was founded in July 1911 but was then known as Kaishinsha Motor Car Works by Masujiro Hashioto. It was the first automobile manufacturer in Japan and the first model was the DAT, made in 1914.

In 1928, Nihon Sangyo was founded, which became abbreviated to Nissan in the 1930s.

By 1967, the company had introduced its Nissan L engine, which gained it the recognition it needed to expand globally.

Since then, Nissan has become one of the biggest names in grey imports in the UK and the producer of some favourites, both vintage and modern, including the Figaro, Skyline and Terrano. And as one of the biggest electric car manufacturers in the world, Nissan's excellent reputation only looks set to continue.

How much is classic insurance?

No two classic cars or their owners are the same, so we use a variety of factors to come up with a competitive quote for each individual, including:

• How old you are
• Where you live
• Where you'll store your car when not driving it
• Where you work
• Your annual mileage
• Your past claims and convictions
• How much voluntary excess you agree to
• Any modifications you've made

For a competitive quote based on your vintage model and preferences, get in touch with our team today.

Is insurance higher on classic cars?

Your Nissan Figaro premium will usually cost less than your regular car policy. Why?

As the proud driver of such a treasured motor, you're more likely to:

• Keep it somewhere secure
• Take better care of it
• Drive it less often

When insurers come up with a quote, they consider all these factors, which lower your overall risk rating. So, is insuring a classic car cheaper? Yes, it usually is.

How old does a car have to be to be a classic for insurance?

With HMRC, your car becomes a classic as soon as it turns 15 and is valued at a minimum of £15,000. When it comes to tax, it needs to reach the ripe old age of 40 before being classed as vintage.

Don't worry, though – that doesn't mean you can't get your Nissan Skyline insured if it's younger when used as a classic should be.

At Lancaster Insurance Services, we understand the true value of all vintage vehicles, and that includes modern classics, too. So, whether you own an original Terrano or one of its successors, our helpful team will be delighted to discuss protection for your car.

How often should I service my vintage car?

The older your pride and joy becomes, the more often you should get it serviced, even if your annual mileage is very low. A good rule of thumb is to take it for a service every 3,000 miles, making sure you check under the bonnet, fluid levels and for other wear and tear in between visits.
