I had problems initially. They wanted a certificate of road worthiness (MOT) despite the fact that the bike was new and we only need them after they are 3 years old. Went the Carol Nash route in the end but I'm told that is a little pricy compared to most. I should look around a bit more and may do this year. But I like their euro breakdown cover - handy when I go to Hamm Rally each year.

hi, i went the Carol Nash route I found them very helpful . The insurance advisor was initially unsure if i was able to have a classic type insurance, she was also unsure of the engine and had to seek advice ,this involved a call back . My bike is a 1980 GSX (Suzuki) conversion . I did get classic insurance and a reasonable quote .
All I will say is the more an insurance company or companies deal with our conversions the easier it becomes for everyone involved .

From memory I was paying about £190 TPFT. with Carrol Nash limited mileage for two bikes. I pay about £120 fully comp with European breakdown cover & agreed values on both bikes, with Footman James for this I had to join the VJMC (vintage japanese motorcycle club) £25 for first year then £20. For this you get 4 magasines per year.
