The only things I can think of that might help you are to offer to reduce your mileage, add an alarm (not all companies require an alarm, Endsleigh were happy to accept an A level project of mine 5 or so years ago) or similar. Fully comp often comes out cheaper for our cars than third party too, as it's taken as a sign that with something this old we'll car about it if we ask for fully comp. A 300 is likely to be written off if anything happens so increasing your excess is an option just be *very* aware of what this entails in the long run if you ever have to claim.
Have you just been running internet searches? They really don't get you the best deal, you have to spend the time ringing *everyone* up. Ask the operator what you can do to get it down, brokers will be helpful here rather than companies like direct line though even then I've managed to get 30% off the internet price at times.
