Future Classic Car Insurance from Keith Michaels
One day your modern car will become so much more. Future classics have a sense of pedigree, as they’re rarer and more valuable on the market. The status of “classic” is both rewarding and with its risks, as this can bump up your premiums, making a specialist cover policy both harder to secure and even more costly.
Not all insurers recognise a future classic when they see one. Fortunately, we are one of a few car enthusiasts and insurance specialists who understand the hidden value of tomorrow’s classics. Our modern / future classic car insurance is designed for drivers of cars with unique value, especially ones that age as classics. We understand that certain future classics have the potential to appreciate in value. Our insurance experts will help and advise you honestly regarding the value of your future classic.
Keith Michaels are likeminded car enthusiasts, so we understand that today’s modern cars will be tomorrow’s classics. Our bespoke cover for a future classic car insurance is specially designed, and tailor made, to look after your vehicle’s hidden value, even if it’s not yet a “classic”. Through Keith Michaels, you can access tailor made policies to suit your individual needs – so get in touch with us today.

Future Classics & Insurance FAQs
What age does a car qualify as a “classic”?
It’s tempting to associate “classics” with cars of the past. Yet, if you ask an insurer about modern classics, for purpose of legal road cover, the answer has little to do with age.
To an insurer, a “classic” says more about how a car it used (and kept). Generally, a modern classic describes car between 10 or 20 years old used by an owner as a 2nd/3rd car with limited mileage (typically lower than 5,000). It’s not, typically, your daily driver.
What cars are going to be future classics?
The classic car market will add middle-aged cars to its ranks in future decades to come, though these often describe cars that carry a certain pedigree by today’s standards. Some insurers consider cars of the 90s and early noughties to be contenders, but it’s often hard to speak for a car’s hidden worth.
That’s why it’s worth getting in touch today to discuss if your car is a future classic.
What if I drive a relatively new car?
While most future classics are between 10 and 20 years old as a general rule, newer cars can be considered for this modern classic insurance if the risk is right.
Can you insure a classic car as a daily driver?
Future classic car insurance is designed to cover your secondary car, rather than your everyday driver. A “classic” car describes how a car is used, not simply its age. Generally, your modern classic will be a special car used as for weekends, at motoring events, or even for casual Sunday drives.
Is it cheaper to insure a classic modern car?
This type of insurance cover is designed to protect your investment over time, as its value matures and the market recognises its pedigree, among its new desirability. For this reason, modern classic insurance isn’t really about securing cheap premiums, but rather is for securing the right level of comprehensive cover.
