Those hardcore few that run a 300 as a sole and daily driver dont have that option.
That's tosh man. My 300 is on a classic policy and it's one of three on the same policy, unlimited mileage. I suppose two of the three aren't the main car and one is. Either way, I've had classic policies before as a first and only car, sometimes with mileage limits, sometimes without - like now.
(Think it helps if the car is fairly
standard and you're a member of a club)

how very dare you!
In my circumstances, having the 360 as a '2nd' car, with the same limited 10k miles as my actual policy has, the premium was about half.
To be fair, the '1st' car probably wouldve trebbled or quadrupled the policy cost at the end of the day though.
Am I making any sense?

Not really.
I struggle with cryptic clues.
Hows about a coffee break clue for a Northern fool???????????

Maybe I'm living in a parallel universe where adding cars to a policy brings it down in price.

I've found the same as Mac, loads of classic policies were ok with me using it as a daily. That is, until I mentioned it wasn't standard. Seems they'll let you have several, but ALL the ticks in the boxes they don't like
