Only First Ireland can answer that Tim.
Yeah thats true, but I thought someone on here might be driving an LT camper. I contacted them but waiting for a reply, and they are not too fast on answering their e mails. I saw an LT on the eireball run the weekend, so I should have asked the driver.
I think its 20 year classics for First Ireland, which would be great. But I'm not buying on what I think:)

They're very variable with what they are willing to accept. I had to argue with them about insuring a 37 year old 1.1 mk1 Golf but they accepted a 19 year old 225bhp Audi TT last year without question.

Pick up the phone and get one of them to check while you wait.

Hey guys,
Insurance is up for renewal. 1970 T2. Main driver and 2 x named drivers (all over 25 and with own policy on own cars). Coming in at 538 with CN!
Can I do better if I try FI using membership number?
I haven't been insured with FI before.

Only one way to find out, give them a call!

Beware, they don't like it if you have a cooker on board.

Lads, who is the best option for vintage campervan insurance? I thought First Ireland did do it but with heating elements and naked flames they are not interested..
