Well, as you own a classic car,you will need classic car insurance. Luckily there are a plethora of companies set up just for people like you. There are also classic car clubs you can join which can help you gain a cheaper price on your insurance. For example, with older Ford models, you can get classic Ford insurance discounts. The same works for if you have an older performance Ford, as there is a group called the RS Owners Club, and by being a member of this group gets you a discount on your car insurance premiums.
This is a route some friends of mine have taken. I have a friend who alerted me to the fact that when he went to insure his classic, mint clean mark 1 Golf GTI, he went through a company called Footman James, as if you have an existing policy with them, which he did, you get a discount on car insurance if you own what is perceived to be a classic. You are limited to a set mileage, but this is fine for him, as the car is his pride and joy, he usually only drives it at the week ends.
A good place to look for the best deals easily would be to look online. A few good companies I found when I was looking to insure my classic Ford mark 2 RS 2000 were Classics Car Insurance and also Footman James, who are a comparison site, so you will get a good starting point and idea of the sort of price you will be looking at paying. As I had a classic Ford RS, I joined the RS Owners Club, and for a relatively cheap price, I managed to save a good amount on my insurance, while also being informed of up coming RS Owners events and receiving a discount on all RS Owners days, of which I attend anyway, so this was a good deal for me. You can get similar deal with older Vauxhall cars, with the Vauxhall owners clubs, which offer offers of the same ilk.
I hope this information I have given you from my experience has been helpful to you, and that you get the best deal on classic car insurance.

Health insurance is a type of policy designed to cover the costs of personal healthcare, with the most common type of insurance in the UK known as Private Medical Insurance (PMI). A PMI policy is usually paid in monthly, quarterly or annual premiums for a contract which is renewable every 12 months. Private health insurance is designed to provide access to healthcare which is not always readily available via the National Health Service (NHS).
Private health insurance is used by approximately 10% of the UK population, and is most commonly used as an addition to the NHS. Health insurance can limit the conditions which can be treated on the policy, for example, AIDS/HIV is a common exception. However, these exclusions will differ between providers, with some covering the costs for treatment on a wider variety of conditions. One of the most common reasons for people seeking health insurance is to avoid the lengthy waiting lists associated with the NHS.
There are different types of health insurance policies ranging from very basic through to complete cover. Some insurance providers will offer you a reduced premium if you can demonstrate that you have a healthy lifestyle, for example, you don’t smoke, eat a healthy diet and keep fit. You should expect the premiums for your health insurance to increase as you get older due to the increased risk that you will have to claim on the policy.
An alternative type of health insurance is known as a health cash plan which will contribute towards routine healthcare. An amount of money is paid out when you visit a dentist or optician and allows you to spend it on what you want.
When you are looking for a health insurance plan it is important that you establish exactly what the policy will pay out for in certain circumstance. If you have decided upon a low cost plan, you might find that the insurance will only pay out if you are admitted to hospital. This would leave you responsible for any costs associated with visits to the Consultant as an outpatient. It is essential that you read the small print, not only to establish treatment available but also whether your condition is covered by the policy.
