We insure our 1992 Japanese classic thru them, only problems would be you have to have a daily driver, car must have a garage to live in, you're restricted to driving under 1000 miles a year, thing is full coverage with roadside assistance & an excellent magazine costs us $180 a year. We were paying over $1K a year, large insurance company claimed it was due to the weird windows. We're both in our early 70s, with excellent driving records & credit scores. Large insurance company kept coming up with excuses as to the yearly large increases. Hurricanes, natural disasters etc.
