Protect your classic Austin
As an Austin enthusiast, you love your car because of what it represents. After all, it’s thanks to Herbert Austin and the Longbridge factory that the everyday working person could afford to own and drive a car.
From the revolutionary Austin 7 to the post-war A30, Cambridge or Westminster, all the way up to the Allegro and the Metro, Austin’s are practical, charming and steeped in British motoring heritage.
At Abbeyfields Insurance, we specialise in arranging tailored insurance cover for classic Austins of every era. With decades of experience of insuring these British classics, we make it simple to protect your Austin with cover built around how you use it.
Why your Austin needs specialist insurance
Regular car insurance tends to focus on a vehicle’s age and mileage, which often doesn’t reflect the true value of a classic Austin. Many models are collector’s items, or hold sentimental or historical value. Treating them as ordinary cars undervalues them and the joy they bring.
So, whatever the age and condition of your classic Austin and however you use it, we can help you protect it against accidents, loss or damage with a classic car insurance policy built around your needs. From weekend drives to car shows and events, our dedicated cover will give you peace of mind for every scenario.
How we protect your Austin
At Abbeyfields, our friendly, experienced team has been underwriting classic car insurance for over 40 years. We can insure all models manufactured by the Austin Motor Company and its successors under the Austin brand, including the A30, A35, A40 Devon, Austin Mini, Austin Metro, and, of course, the famous Austin 7 ‘Baby Austin’. We’ll build your policy around you and your vehicle, and your cover can include:
- Limited mileage discount
- Laid‑up and SORN cover
- Optional breakdown and accident recovery
- Modified and custom vehicle options
- Multi‑car discount (applied from the first vehicle)
- Motor legal expenses (optional, up to £100,000)
- Discount for recognised Austin owners’ club members
- Some of the lowest admin fees on the market
- Dedicated account manager
You can insure your classic Austin at an agreed value at no extra cost and update it whenever you need to. If it’s written off after an accident, you’ll receive that pre‑agreed settlement, minus your policy excess. And if your car needs repairs after a claim, you’re free to choose your own specialist Austin repairer to ensure it’s returned to its pre‑claim condition by experts who understand the marque’s unique history.
