Car Insurance For One-Off Builds & Retro Projects

Every Modification Considered. Every Build Appreciated.

Some insurance providers don’t know what to do with your custom build, but we do. Brentacre has spent over 30 years insuring modified cars that other brokers shy away from, whether they’re lightly tweaked, fully rebuilt, or one-of-one.

Our custom car insurance policy covers:

  • Customised classics and restomods
  • Modified vans and trucks
  • Retrofitted engines, suspension or interiors
  • Non-standard paintwork and bodywork
  • Vintage cars with modern drivetrains
  • Unique or imported builds

Your car is more than a make and model; it’s a reflection of you. That’s why we don’t penalise you for thinking outside the box.

Retro Car Insurance

Insurance That Understands Old School Cool

Modern Protection For Old Favourites

If your car or van turns heads for all the right reasons, it deserves a policy to match. Whether you’re driving a retro daily, a heavily modified car, or a project you’ve spent years on, Brentacre’s retro car insurance gives you the freedom to enjoy it with peace of mind.

Many of our customers drive vehicles from the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s, cars that don’t quite fit the “classic” mould, but are far too special for standard classic car insurance. Think MG Midgets with wide arches, modified Ford Cortinas, slammed Volvo 240s, and quirky Japanese imports. If it’s got character, we want to cover it.

Modified Classics & Restomods Welcome

Custom Builds With Classic Heart? No Problem.

Many of our customers build custom classics that blend the old with the new, featuring retro bodywork paired with uprated engines, brakes, and modern touches. These can be tricky to insure unless your broker gets it.

That’s where Brentacre comes in.

We offer cover that mirrors our classic insurance benefits, including agreed value, limited mileage, and like-for-like parts cover. All this while still allowing for modifications and updates that reflect how your car is built.

Benefits included with our policies include:

  • Agreed Value Options
  • Limited Mileage Discounts
  • All Modifications Considered
  • Club Member Discounts
  • Salvage Retention Rights
  • Repair-It-Yourself Options
  • Cover From Age 21
