Is it worth having a car that looks gorgeous, feels superior to the characterless models of today and will make you feel like a king of the road when it costs the earth to insure? If you do some research and find an insurance company who have a background in classic cars rather than one who would treat your pride and joy as just another car, it might mean the best of both worlds.
Lots of sites out there offer expert and specialist advice for all types of classic vehicle, from more modern to vintage. They even offer schemes that are not available anywhere else, if you do your homework. Cars that are over fifteen years of age are considered ‘classic’ and if this applies to you, a specialist may be what you’re looking for. Again, shop around and use comparison websites to ensure you get the best deal possible for the lowest price you can in order to secure cheap car insurance. There are loads of competitive companies in the UK and most will take things like age, condition and location into consideration.
There are also various policies available for older models and also for older drivers. Shop around for quotes and see if there is something to suit you and bear in mind that there are special deals on insurance for women, as well as small vans and non-comprehensive insurance. Insurance companies for the over fifties offer policies to suit all budgets for those drivers that meet their requirements. Competitive prices ensure you are covered and have peace of mind without having to re-mortgage the house or empty your savings account.
Classic cars do not need to cost any more to insure than a modern vehicle would, as long as you research thoroughly and make sure you are getting the best deal possible.

Fancy, top-of-the-line luxury cars, these diamonds on four wheels are the dreams of many and are usually a symbol of freedom, status and success. The majority of those people don’t necessarily have the excess cash to buy one of these vehicles without a second thought though. What do you do if you want (or need) one of these cars but are currently on a nickel-and-dime budget? Read on to find out.
Everyone Wants to Drive Fancy Cars
People all have their own reasons for wanting to upgrade from their current means of transportation to one of these fine examples of automobile engineering: some people just want to feel like successful big-shots, some need a more professional image to reflect their current position and status, some just want the best in comfort and performance. A lot of these people are juggling outrageous plans to try and get their dream car, mortgages, loans and restrictive lifestyles are all possibilities for those bent on getting their hands on one of these cars.
The good news is that you don’t need to put your house on the line, get into (huge) debt with the bank or change your life completely to get behind the wheel of one of these cars. If you are looking to ride with the big boys, here is an excellent choice that will let you join the luxury car owner’s club without spending over USD 30,000.
The Acura TSX
Representing an achievement in high-end quality and looks for a low-end budget, the TSX is a fantastic car that has been overlooked by many (people who are most likely obsessed with Lamborghini driving). Perks and features are the name of the game when it comes to the TSX and this car offers almost every available option you can think of, including a voice-controlled navigation system that blows some of those USD 200,000 BMWs out of the water. Another strong point is that the enhancement list for the Acura TSX goes hand in hand with its low price proposition and contains no items that will break the bank.
The TSX includes a powerful 2.4 litre, in-line four-cylinder engine that roars to the tune of 205 horsepower for a reasonable fuel consumption. The powerful engine does not go overboard on the gas as the TSX achieves a 31 mpg on the highway creating inexpensive driving experiences. You will enjoy the speed and low consumption from the comfort of well-built seating and easy to read gauges while your companions will be grateful for the ample leg space.

Harley-Davidson has just announced a new addition to its entry-level Sportster family, and it’s seemingly again drawing on its years of heritage in both the bike’s design and name. Called the Forty-Eight, the new machine is the latest motorcycle to slot into HD’s Dark Custom series, which also includes the Nightster 1200, Iron 883, Cross Bones, Fat Bob and Street Bob.
So, what makes this model different from the other Sportster models? It’s all in the styling details, naturally. Included in the kit are bobbed fenders front and rear, fat front tire, blacked-out and polished 1200cc Evolution V-twin, solo seat that measures 26 inches from the ground, under-mounted mirrors, side mount license plate and tiny 2.1-gallon peanut fuel tank. No matter, with what we bet is less than two inches of rear suspension travel, this bike seems destined to be a short-distance mount anyway.
So, to recap, there’s nothing new here at all (which we surmise is kind of the point), but the overall effect still makes the Forty-Eight arguably the most attractive bike in the Sportster line, barring the much sportier XR1200, of course. Pricing begins at $10,499 MSRP in Vivid Black with Brilliant Silver and Mirage Orange Pearl also available.
