It must depend upon what you mean by modified. Aon cover all my Minors including disks, 5-speed, new seats, heated screen (front & rear) etc. No problem at all. They were also happy to quote for 1300 cc.

I've also tried postoffice, direct line, and loads other.... have just tried Firebond as suggested and they've done it - yippppppeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
It's insured as an Austin Morris Campervan.., or mechanical Snail
thanks folks for your help...(again)

www.confused.com, but not sure if it does classics- it was great for quickly getting quotes for my 944 though, enter details once and I got 30+ quotes.

Yeh, but they're usually miles from any price you'll actually be quoted...

Confused.com is brilliant. I used them last time for my Rover's insurance and it slashed the cheapest price I could find.
Ant, not sure I understood your last statement. The company that confused.com found for me quoted a price and that's exactly what I paid.

confused.com couldn't help me, all of the results had a cross through them...

I thought you got sorted?
confused.com is great for standard run of the mill stuff (standard modern cars).

well, confused.com cheapest for me was around £1400.
and that is just plain scary compared to the £60 I now pay per annum

Well, Confused for me with Mum & Dad quoted around £1500 minimum.
And we're paying around £700 a year, including extra for paying monthly.
