The RACV calls it : Veteran, Vintage & Classic Car Insurance here is the link: http://www.racv.com.au/wps/wcm/connect/racv/Internet/Primary/insurance/car+insurance/veteran,+vintage+_+classic

The guy i spoke to said it's exactly the same as the NRMA policy

Thank-you for doing my homework!

Hi everyone. Just thought I would share my experience with you all. I recently insured my r34 gtr v-spec with Shannons at a premium of $2250 ($500 excess). I was told by a guy at work about nrma vi

1800646605 is the direct number to NRMA's Classic, Vintage and Veteran. Good post above! Big savings can be had if... * your car is at least 15 yrs old * it's not your daily * well secured * travels l

haha

that'll be a no go for sure.

go see a broker to get you a quote from breeze underwriting...it'll cost you a f**kload though.

and before anyone says shannons will cover you on the track. they wont. only if you have a historic car and you have racing extention applied. they wont sell racing extention to people with skylines...!!!!!

Wow. Just called up and was a bit skeptical as I don't have a GTR but they insured my R32 GTST with some of the modifications we have receipts for.

Currently - Shannons - $2200 p.A

NRMA - $571 P.A comprehensive, insured for more.

I do have my green slip with Shannons, did some one mention that might be problematic when switching comprehensive provider?

Pretty chuffed about this really, hated paying thousands when the car just sat in the garage most of the time... AND this put me in a better discount bracket for having multiple policies with NRMA.

Green slip (CTP) has nothing to do with your comprehensive insurance, CTP is for rego so it won't be affected if you switch (it's prepaid essentially). Companies can give you discounted prices if you have both with them though.

Aww. It does say in the terms racing will void unless agreed upon :P

did some ringing around this week with insurance companies mentioned in this thread and this "classic" car insurance (as opposed to shannons) seems a bit more restrictive.

Shannons will do exceptions for under 25, while none of those companies will.

I got declined from a few of them for receiving 3 minor speeding fines in a 2 year period.

RACV classic didnt want to insure unusual/rare cars under 15 years old.

Im not surprised but it shows how much more flexible shannons can be. probably with modifications too.

Your right with everything except the modifications.

Spot on, you have to be a good boy and clean driving record for the last few years. And obviously only car OVER 15 years.

You can list any mods as far as I'm aware.

But if they have to refuse people because of the above mentioned problems, it's OK with me. I'll be a good boy to keep my premium low.

If I'm stupid and do something wrong I will accept the consequences and pay a higher premium with Shannons for example.

When changing companies , Shannons told me they have the similar insurance - Vintage and Classic

but all cars had be 35 Years old to get a similar premium / price .

Hopefully premiums don't rise unrealistically with NRMA

Yes...

What's also made the NRMA package so popular in recent times is the fact that the company has reduced the age-of-car threshhold from 20 yrs to 15; as one can see in the PDS Supplement.

Due to the fact that many people here on SAU have switched from a company of long standing, most will be watchful when it comes time to renew - I agree.

100% confirmed,

22 years old, $570 a year, $500 excess, insured for $30k.

I'm a very happy customer at the moment. The lady i spoke to on the phone mentioned they had a high proportion of skylines coming across to them from other insurers. Funny that..

I'm saving a whopping $1700 a year on insurance, and it's insured for more moneys.

It will be interesting to see what shannons/Justjap do with their pricing in the next little while.

so your 22 and you were able to insure with them ?

im 23 , no lock up garage , no daily driver atm would i be able to insure with them ?

Correct Terry , i noticed the 20 year threshold in the supplement as well , i almost wanted to ring them and get confirmation ...........

So I made the switch a couple of days ago and when going through the details, I specifically mentioned that the car was mildly modded, between both myself and the previous owner. I asked if the I should send through a list of the mods or go through them over the phone (as previously done with Just Car), and the lady said 'no, we don't list mods on our policy', just insure the car for the agreed value.' She also said just keep the receipts for aftermarket parts in case of an accident.

My question to the converted - did you actually list your mods on your policy or get a similar response to me?

      Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.

      Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪

      I've been quietly following this thread for ages, but this one got me. Since my ADHD diagnosis (and associated learnings and prescription) I'm way less inclined to wade into forum yarns when there are better things to do with my time, as half the time I'd end up in some kind of forum debate even if that wasn't my intention. I've not lost the ADHD "superpowers", just am a lot better at directing my hyperfocus into slightly more constructive things, but haven't stopped quietly lurking in here in my spare time.

      Stripped the tank down and gave it a good scrub. It came up really good! Not sure if I'll just put it back in like that or give it a blackening treatment (such as Bowdens The Black Box). That might give it a matte look so might just run it as is.

      @MBS206 Ha ha, yeah ADHD is a daily battle to not get drawn in to doing things you want to do that you know you shouldn't do!  Every single time I walk into my shed I end up doing something I started the day having zero intention of doing! I keep mentioning the 1 step forward, 3 steps back scenario and I'm tipping people that are blessed with ADHD (yes, blessed) are the worst at that!
