Insuring Classic Lotuses for over 35 years

Peter Best Insurance was established in 1985 to meet the insurance needs of classic car owners, specifically members of the numerous classic car clubs across the UK. Our Classic car insurance policies are tailored for specific makes and models including, of course, classic Lotus, alongside many more iconic marques of yesteryear!

At Peter Best we understand that classic Lotus owners require specialist insurance cover for their beloved classic cars. Our experience shows that owners who are members of a classic car club really care for and value their vehicles, so we offer car club insurance discounts to members of bona-fide UK classic car clubs.

So, if you are a member of Club Lotus, Lotus Drivers Club or any other Lotus related classic car club, we will apply a car club member discount to your classic car insurance policy.

Peter Best’s Classic Lotus insurance policies come with free legal cover, free agreed value and a choice of limited mileage options as part of our comprehensive policy cover, so you can rest assured your pride and joy is in good hands. We also cover for a wide range of vehicle modifications as well as ‘laid up’ cover for non-road use or restoration purposes.

After 35 years in business, UK Car Clubs remain the core focus for Peter Best and we continue to support many classic car clubs through sponsorship and advertising, helping these organisations continue their fabulous work.

We very much appreciate that classic car club representatives are predominately volunteers, dedicating their time and energies into preserving motoring history, and so we’re proud to support classic car clubs, their officers, and members.

Lotus Mark 1 to a contemporary Exige, Peter Best Insurance offers Lotus classic and performance car insurance for most models and ages of Lotus.

From a standard Lotus Elise to an Elan type 26R, a laid up Esprit or an Eclat restoration project, we can provide tailor-made classic car insurance policies to meet your needs.

Our classic car insurance may come with a range of benefits including agreed value, discounts for limited mileage, roadside assistance and recovery.

(Subject to satisfying all criteria, Classic car insurance may be offered for vehicles registered before 1995, some variants manufactured more than 10 years ago may also qualify subject to insurers terms and conditions.)
