Classic car and classic motorcycle insurance
Owning a classic is a source of great pride and enjoyment but, whether your classic is in storage or on the road, you’ll need a specialist insurance policy.
Why choose Howden?
Over the years we’ve had many interesting conversations with our customers about why they have a classic car. Some just love getting under the bonnet and view their classic car as a restoration project, whereas others enjoy the pleasure of driving a historic car on the open road. Then there’s simply the cool factor – whether it’s an Alfa Romeo 8C convertible from the 1930s, an American muscle 60s Ford Mustang or an 80s Porsche 911 – our clients love the feeling of nostalgia it gives them.
When it comes to motorcycles, we can cover Triumphs, Ducatis, Lambrettas, Harley Davidsons and everything in between. We’ll share your enthusiasm and find the right policy for you.
As leading brokers with teams dedicated to classic cars and classic motorcycles, we cover a vast array of classic and vintage models and offer insurance solutions for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
