About our American classic car insurance
Your American classic has its own character and quirks, so your insurance should recognise the realities of owning it and the role it plays in your life. Whether it’s a ’57 Chevy, a Mustang, a Corvette or something more unusual, you need cover that reflects the way you maintain and enjoy it.
At Abbeyfields Insurance, we specialise in arranging insurance for American classics, taking the time to understand your car and what it means to you. With decades of experience in classic and specialist vehicle insurance, we’ll build your policy around your American classic, with tailored protection that fits how you store, drive and look after it.
Why do you need American classic car insurance?
Standard car insurance isn’t designed with American classics in mind.
They tend to be more expensive to insure than UK-manufactured classics. Their size, performance and heritage make them a riskier proposition.
Without specialist insurance cover, you risk being underprotected if something goes wrong.
Your car might be a long‑term project, a well‑kept original or part of a multi-car collection. You may take it to shows, enjoy weekend drives or keep it stored for most of the year and bring it out only when the conditions are right.
Whatever your situation, Abbeyfields can help. Our American classic insurance will protect your vehicle against accidents, loss or damage, so you can enjoy owning, preserving and driving it.
