There are now several companies that will insure certain cars which are only 10 years old as classic cars where they will mirror the NCB earned on the policy from your every day car on to a new policy for your weekend toy. This makes me very happy as it means I can insure my 1997 Boxster 2.5 for a very reasonable amount without having to earn more NCB from scratch.
These are the various companies/telephone numbers/quotes. Most of them will be limited mileage (in this case 5000) and some require you to be a member of a car club (tipec in my case). I specified that I must be covered for commuting to work as some presume you won't use your pride and joy for the boring stuff, but if you work stupid hours like me, there's chuff all on the roads, so why not!

Not surprisingly I went with Adrian Flux (not in a sexual way, you understand).
Hopefully this will give some good info for those who may be paying through the nose and not even realise that their newish 10 year old Porsche is eligible.
