    I'm paying £250 ish for the S/c on 5k limited, garaged, im 51. Paying more for the 75 V6 tourer, think its around £350 but on unlimited and on the drive. All with Pete Best. My wifes 1.6 Rover 25 is £197 again unlimited on the drive she is 51 as well. Both tons of no claims discount which you loss if you go over to a classic policy.

    Welcome along.

    Directline quoted me £230, Aviva quoted £280. All standard policies with protected no claim bonus. Car parked on drive, I'm over 60 with full NCB. The only advantage I can see to going with Peter Best is the agreed value but I am not sure if this will be of any benefit in the event of a claim, given Keith's recent experiences. I could be wrong and it may prove to be an asset but without some sort of test case (God forbid) it's all hypothetical anyway.
    I think postcode may have an effect as well.

    Good luck.

    I was under £400 with Admiral multi car. My 260 is limited to 5,000 miles and only social and domestic my old Rover 75 is third part fire and theft. Suits me fine

    Peter Best himself is still very active at the top level within the MG Car Club, that's why we get a good deal. I am sure we would be looked after in any event

    When i uped my insurance for the s/c kit with PB, the female told me a S/C added 25% to the policy and as i was paying in the regeion of £285 with legal protection ect i paid an extra £65 which whilst is is very good why aren't we all the same, i except age/claims /area come into it but at 65 and never claimed except for windscreens, been driving continually from 17 and in a rural area SA15 why not me.Anyhow best of luck to all of you who are having it cheaper.

    Thanks for all the info on the insurance side of things, I will have to give PB a call and see what the deal is.

    The next question is what to pay for a mk 2 260 with low miles compared to a s/c one? I dont think ive ever seen a s/c one for sale.
