Affordable Classics Insurance Firms?

My finner will be a secondary vehical for quite some time as I work out the kinks and restore it. So said, I'll probably drive it less than 2000 miles a year until I can feel confident that it will be a solid 'round-towner and short highway tripper. I can't afford a garage for it as I don't own a home, so right now it is just under a waterproof car-cover.

Does anybody know of a good firm that would be in the classics insurance market? Amazingly these finners don't really have much market value unless they're primo mint with no rust at all, so I'm not looking to insure a $20K car or anything.

I second (err..third or fourth) Haggerty. They are easy to work with and also you only pay one premium for liability regardless of how many cars you insure, then you just pay for additional comprehensive and collision for each additional car.

Exclamation Hagerty

I use Hagerty also and have been quite satisfied although I have never required their assistance. They won't insure daily drivers, and if you indicate that you store your car outdoors they won't insure it. They also require that you have another insured car to use as your daily driver.
