Overseas breakdown cover???
We're off to France and Italy soon in the MX5 but I'm finding it difficult to obtain breakdown cover as it's a '92 car.
Seems like most won't cover a car over 15 years old.
I've asked the current breakdown insurers but they've declined - maybe I'll just have to wing it.
Any suggestions gratefully received.
Cheers, Pewe10 
PS just in case I exceed my 3000 mile insurance policy limit I asked the current insurers to go up to 5000 just in case - an extra £90!

If you manage to get someone to quote you make sure you read the small print. With the aa's one there was a clause that if the cost of recovery
home was worth more than the car they had the right to leave you there without paying out anything. I know of it happening a few times too.

Funnily enough I've got an MX5 (1994) as well . My insurance is with Footman James and it includes European cover (though I didn't look
closely at the exact terms...). Just googled and found this: this - not cheap but it is a
whole year

When i did "lemans" last year in my mates XK8, think its a 92 ? we could not get any insurance to cover the car
as it was over 10 years old
To be honest, the car is maintained by Jaguar at gatwick, and has a full Jag service history,and drives like a new car
we got there and back with one fault, one of the rear lights wasnt earthed properly, so when i indicated one cluster wasnt working
no big deal,

Thanks for the replies.
I don't think I've ever had overseas cover but not having had the car long made me a bit cautious.
Just done a 300 mile round trip and I'm happier with it today than I was yesterday so think I might just wing it with a few tools and some
spares.
