    I used Peter Best for the s70r and was happy with them. I've used Footman James before for other cars / bikes and they were good too.

    I've used Peter best and footman James

    Footman James are cheap 1st car has to be 20yrs old, second is ok at 15yrs old as I have a multi car policy with them.

    Peter best only 10 years old and they will be insuring the v70r this year, but they don't cover 4x4 I.e the xc90

    Cheers for the feedback. Ill give footman james and Peter best a call tomorrow and see how much it is to insure the 850. 20 years now so I'm hoping it's quite a bit cheaper.

    Managed to get a classic car quote from Peter best for £150. This is a good improvement from last year. Cheers for the suggestions lads. After changing the springs the Car flew through its MOT with no advisories too! really don't want to sell it!

    I've been with footman James on my 855 t5 for nearley 4 years now always been the cheapest and best value for money that I found I'd highly recomend them
