Eurpoe Breakdown ins for cars over 10 yrs - alex
My Volvo 940 GLE Nov 1991, is clearly over 10 years old.

National Breakdown no longer cover cars over 10 year old for Europe.

As with all big Sweedish Volovs {not the Dutch ones} its in first class condition bodily and has only covered 90 odd thousand miles.

I intened to keep it for at least another couple of years, anyone know of best European cover deals?

Also anyone know if any insurance companies { insurance, not breakdown cover} that do discount schemes for cars of this age, on limited mileage ?

Ta

I have an idea, no more than that and cannot find the papers, that with the migration of most Nat breakdown/green flag cover to direct line that the 10 year rule has been eased.

Anyone confirm?

Correct, Direct Line now takes up to 16 years old. After that I believe there are "classic" schemes.

Also, on insurance, I was able to swap Toad onto my classic policy with Aon, although only"M", perhaps because Supras are out of production (certainly they are "classic" vehicles, of course!). Perhaps a Volvo could qualify?

Nankangs off, P-zeros on, by the way.
