Turns out you can't insure a second car using the first car's no claims bonus - 'mirroring' as it's called in the insurance industry.
This is clearly bollocks and simply a way for the insurers to make more money. However, I wasn't about to let them win.
After a little bit of research I found Peter Best Insurance were willing to give a classic car policy to the old girl. Apparently the no claims fuss doesn't apply, hence they won't be needing lots of paperwork faff.
What they *do* need is some signed and dated photographs of the car - printed on proper photographic paper. Front, back, the two sides and an interior pic. Fortunately the Ebay listing has all this already done for me so I just need to buy some paper and ink.
I've cancelled the AA policy and lost about £60 in the process - however the refund from that just about covers the new classic policy (£245), so I've not really lost anything.
