From V8 muscle cars to elegant cruisers and rugged pickups, American classics are a head-turning presence on UK roads. Whether you’re driving a restored Mustang, a 1950s Chevrolet Bel Air, a Dodge Charger or a Studebaker, Peter Best Insurance Services provides bespoke Classic American Car Insurance that reflects the character and needs of these iconic vehicles.
As specialists in classic and imported vehicle cover, we understand the intricacies involved in owning an American classic – from parts sourcing to modifications and left-hand drive usage. Plus, if you're a member of a recognised American car club, you can benefit from a 10% discount on your premium.
American classics often don’t fit neatly into standard insurance boxes. Larger engines, non-UK specifications and limited usage patterns make tailored insurance essential – and that’s exactly what we offer. Whether your car is used for Sunday runs, shows, or is part of a collection, we can build a policy that works for you.
Cover can include:
• Agreed value insurance* – so you’re fully protected for the vehicle’s true worth
• Laid-up and restoration cover* – ideal for long-term projects or seasonal storage
• Left-hand drive cover – fully supported by our underwriters
• Cover for rare, imported or modified cars – including customs and upgrades
• European use and breakdown cover – so you’re not limited to UK roads
• Optional event cover – for drag races, club meets, or classic parades
*Subject to underwriting criteria
Our in-house experts work with enthusiasts every day and understand the unique concerns of American car owners in the UK. Let us help you insure your pride and joy properly.
Whether you’re a member of the American Auto Club UK, Mopar Muscle Association, or a local classic car group, we offer a 10% discount on insurance for verified members. Being part of a club shows us you take your vehicle seriously – and that you’re part of a passionate, responsible community of enthusiasts.
Club membership also helps when tailoring your policy, especially if you attend shows, store your car for long periods, or have invested in high-spec restorations. If you're not a member but are interested, we can recommend clubs that align with your vehicle.
We’ve insured thousands of American classic vehicles over the years and would love to do the same for yours – whether it’s a muscle car, pick-up, station wagon, or something more unusual.
