Vintage car insurance.
This is the way to go for sure. You need to belong to a regd. club & have a car at least 20 (?) years old.
It's 10 years ago now but I used to have 2 MG midgets comprehenisively insured with regular drivers under 21 for around $250 pa.
The modifacitions will be a big drawback but you won't know till you ask.
When I asked why it was so cheap, I was told that the actuaries believed a car club member obviously cared about their vehicles & so were a better
risk.

Yeah, Shannons are fantastic...just changed over my beetle insurance to them (from RACQ)...even with mods etc it turned out around $150 cheaper. They
take into account garaging it, car club member (even though I am not), kms driven each year...cheaper if under 8000kms....etc.

I have been with Shannons for about 7 years. Their rates are cheaper than anyone else. Never had to make a claim (lucky) so I can't comment on
their service. I believe they have a few level of insurance based on usage (ie kms). I drive my KG less than 5ks a year which is classified as limited
usage (cheaper rate). My other car is insured with them too but for around 10ks a year (I think they call it regular usage or something). They cater
for everyone so you shouldn't have a problem with your daily driver. What I recommed is for you to get the initial aggrement on what you want the
value of the car to be. I had my KG insured for $12k initially. They tried to increase the value to $18k later but they wouldn't do it over the
phone. They had to inspect the car
