PROUD SPECIALISTS IN CLASSIC VAUXHALL INSURANCE
CLASSIC VAUXHALL INSURANCE: SPECIALIST COVER FOR EVERY MODEL
Vauxhall has been part of British motoring life for over a century — and the performance models it produced from the 1970s through to the early 2000s are now firmly established as some of the most cherished and sought-after classics on UK roads.
Whether you own a fire-breathing Lotus Carlton, a rev-hungry Astra GTE, a rare Cavalier GSi, a curvaceous Manta, or a Lotus-built VX220, you know your car is something special. And that means your insurance should be too.

Our team understands the Vauxhall performance and classic market, the models, the values, the modifications, and the community built around them. We’ll work with you to find cover that fits your car and the way you use it, with the most competitive rate our panel of specialist insurers can offer.

CLASSIC VAUXHALL MODELS WE COVER

- Vauxhall Astra GTE (Mk1 and Mk2, 8v and 16v) — the hot hatch that defined a generation of British performance motoring

- Vauxhall Chevette HS and HSR — British Leyland-era homologation specials with genuine motorsport heritage
- Vauxhall Firenza / Magnum — the sporting Viva-based coupés increasingly appreciated by collectors
- Vauxhall Senator and Carlton GSi — the refined, high-speed express saloons of the late 1980s

Yes, free agreed value is included as standard on all Heritage classic Vauxhall policies. This means you and Heritage agree the insured value of your car at the start of the policy, based on its condition, specification, and current market. If your car is written off, you receive that agreed amount in full not a depreciated market value calculated after the event. For models like the Lotus Carlton, VX220, and Cavalier GSi, where values have been rising significantly, agreed value is essential.
covered as standard. Whether your Astra GTE runs upgraded suspension and a remapped engine, or your Cavalier has been restored with period Irmscher body kit and alloys, Heritage treats these as part of the car’s identity rather than a complication. You should declare all modifications when requesting your quote so they are accurately reflected in the agreed value and policy terms.
Yes, Heritage offers up to 15% discount for members of recognised classic car clubs. If you’re a member of the Vauxhall Owners Club, the Astra GTE Owners Club, the Manta Owners Club, or another qualifying club, let us know when you request your quote and we’ll apply your discount automatically.

Not necessarily. Classic car insurance is often considerably more affordable than standard motor insurance, because the risk profile is different, these cars tend to be driven fewer miles, stored carefully, and owned by enthusiastic custodians rather than everyday commuters. The agreed value approach also means you only insure your car for what it’s genuinely worth, rather than an arbitrary market value. Call us or request a quote to see exactly what Heritage can offer for your specific car.
Yes. Heritage classic Vauxhall insurance includes up to 90 days of European driving cover as standard. Whether you’re heading to a Vauxhall event in Germany, taking the Lotus Carlton across France, or making the most of the open roads in Spain, you’re covered without needing to arrange additional continental cover for most trips.
