Classics From The 1980s Appeal To The Car Thief

An increasing number of people are taking an interest in the modern classic car dating back to as recently as the 1980s. Many of you will be familiar with the likes of the Ford Cortina which was an extremely popular family saloon, the Ford Capri that was loved by those motorists wanting a little bit of “street cred” or the Volkswagen Golf GTI driven by some motorists that liked to get from 0 to 60mph in as short a time as possible.

Ford Cortinas are popular classic cars

The classic Ford Cortina is a popular vehicle.

Well, it is worth noting that such classic cars are popular not only with the classic car enthusiast but also car thieves. Such individuals may want to steal your pride and joy for a number of reasons.

For instance, they may love that era of vehicle themselves and like the idea of being seen at the wheel of such a classic motor. They may want to steal your car as they believe that they can sell it quickly and make a few pounds. Also, they may want to pinch your classic car with a view to then selling the parts to someone that is in the process of restoring their classic vehicle who wishes to use genuine parts as part of the restoration process.

Therefore, it is important that you have suitable classic car insurance in place so that should your vehicle be stolen there is suitable cover in place. To be covered for the theft of your classic car you would need to have either laid-up cover, third party fire and theft or fully comprehensive classic car insurance. If you only had third party cover in place you would not be covered should it be stolen.

You can obtain a suitable quotation in a number of ways. One of the most popular ways is to use the likes of a price comparison website that has access to a number of different classic car insurers.
