Lancaster Insurance Services, part of Capita Insurance Distribution, will be out in force at the annual Classic Motor Show, NEC Birmingham from 13th November. Led by director, Lisa Joy, the Lancaster team will be on hand to discuss how they can provide customers with insurance for their beloved classic cars as well as a variety of other insurance products. Customers wishing to obtain a quotation may do so in a matter of minutes by visiting the stand and the team will assist with any queries. They will also discuss how they can work with car clubs on future events and offer their members discounted general insurance products.

Visitors to Lancaster’s stand will also have the opportunity to win a Fortnum & Mason Christmas hamper by taking part in their very own small scale F1 championship. Also up for grabs is a year’s free car insurance – something which is sure to appeal in this current economic climate.

Lisa Joy, director of Lancaster Insurance Services, said: “We are looking forward to showcasing our products at this year’s exhibition and to discussing current developments with visitors and exhibitors. Some visitors may even be looking to buy a new classic car at the show and we would be happy to provide them with an insurance quote there and then. This event will also provide us with the perfect opportunity to meet existing and potential customers and we are especially interested in talking to car clubs about ways in which we can add benefit both to the club and to its members as well as other associated organisations that all help keep the classic car industry alive.”

Lancaster can offer more than just classic car insurance, they also specialise in various niche markets such as 4x4 vehicles, classic vans, kit cars and motorhomes. In addition, they have very competitive products in the general insurance market such as modern car and buildings and contents insurance. They are also gearing up for the 2010 classic season with the launch of new products such as classic bike and prestige vehicles.
