Porsche Enthusiasts Club Forum

I'm sure that there's one or two of you out there in this category

My stepdad, who is 71, is currently looking for his first Porsche, probably going to be a 2.7 Boxster with a value of around £7k
It will be a second car

I just had a quick butchers on the Asset trust site and it says that the classic policies are for drivers 23 - 70

Just wondered if any of our older drivers have had any problems with classic insurance

Give Paul a call, I am sure he will be able to advise.

I have filled out a quote form on there anyway

I'm sure it'll be ok

So he didn't fancy the 996 turbo I saw him test driving then!!

Now that all the pensioners will soon be driving Lambos following the budget...

Try Peter James Insurance.

I've been with Peter James for the last 5 years, hit the 70 mark next year so I hope they will cover the Turbo, cant see me getting a Lambo though

Yes, he loved it, not even sure the turbos kicked in

Looks like we've found a cheap Boxster for him to run around in during the summer
A 2002 2.7 tip, a couple of wee scuffs and small dent but only paying £6k



Did look at a couple of 3.2's but popped in to have quick chat with Ray at Northway and he said much less chance of major issues with the 2.7.
Also I think that's plenty for someone who's been driving a 1.6 Civic for 10 years

Also a day out with Big John is on the cards for some driver training

Great cars 2.7s!!! How does one find 'Big John'? Quite fancy it at some point? Can he help with my shyate launches?

Insurance, we got 3 reasonable quotes from Peter James, Adrian Flux and Asset Trust.

Original from AT included breakdown which wasn't needed as already with AA, cost £378
AF came in at 318 with a 300 mile policy no breakdown

went back to Paul at AT and without breakdown he has arranged cover for £310 with 5000 miles

Sounds reasonable, glad you got it sorted. Peter is going to have a smile on his face for all of those miles
