    You might be right with green flag but I have all my vehicles listed with the RAC and they are all showing on my profile as covered and the firestorm is a 97 and the thunderbird is a 98 I don't know if it's because of the time I've been with them or the limited mileage I will do on these my car is a late 17 and the Mrs is a 14 and they are all listed it might be worth you looking into the RAC as I know green flag is more competitive but why if they are putting an age limit on it that is possibly why they are cheaper by putting an age limit on their policies they are edging their bets by not having to attend to so many call outs and so the policy costs stay in their pockets it's like the insurance companies putting in small print that gives them getting out of paying out or extortionate excesses

    Greenflag moving from the named vehicle on the policy (why when it's personal cover? :eyes:) of a 72 plate to a 2005 plate meant the renewal went up £60 to about £180 if I recall correctly.
    Considering this covers a few vehicles it didn't sound too bad, but after what you've just said @Mark TGR9 maybe the RAC is worth a look then on renewal.

    There you go penalties for insuring an older vehicle with them more chances that they may be called out so you pay more essentially for the same risk I don't know why they do this with bikes as the majority of bike owners treat their machines as if it is a child and wants for nothing plus there is far less depreciation on bikes than cars
