Classic Rover insurance
What is classic Rover insurance?
Classic Rover insurance is a type of insurance specifically designed for classic cars. It is a special type of car insurance and can differ significantly from regular car insurance in terms of cost, coverage, and eligibility requirements. Classic Rover insurance is tailored to the needs of classic car owners and is designed to protect their vehicles from the unique risks and requirements associated with owning a classic car.
Classic Rover insurance typically provides a higher level of coverage for classic cars than regular car insurance policies. This is due to classic cars often having higher repair costs due to their age and rarity.
Classic Rover insurance is also designed to provide coverage for parts that may be difficult or expensive to replace, such as classic car parts. In addition, classic Rover insurance often covers events such as car shows, parades and rallies, which may not be covered by regular car insurance policies (terms and conditions apply).
To be eligible for classic Rover insurance, the car must typically be at least 15 years old. Additionally, the car must typically be in good condition, and may need to be inspected by an insurance company representative to determine its eligibility. The owner of the car may also need to provide evidence of regular maintenance, such as receipts for oil changes and repairs.

How old does a car have to be to be classic for insurance?
The definition of a classic car varies depending on the insurance company you are considering. Generally, a car must be at least 15 years old to be considered a classic car.
When considering classic Rover insurance, the insurer will want to know the make, model, and year of the car. Additionally, the insurer will also want to know the vehicle’s condition, history, modifications, and the number of miles on the odometer. Lancaster Insurance Services may seek additional requirements such as limits on the number of miles driven during the policy period and may even require an annual mileage review.
It is important to note that classic car insurance policies are not the same as normal car insurance policies. Classic car policies typically provide coverage for repair costs, parts replacement, and even liability coverage as well as providing other benefits such as car club member discounts.
It is important to read through the policy wording or speak to a representative of a classic car insurance policy/insurer before making your purchase.
