VSCC Insurance: Tailored Cover for Club Members – By Enthusiasts, For Enthusiasts
Thursday 01 May 2025
The Vintage Sports-Car Club is delighted to launch a brand-new insurance scheme created exclusively for VSCC members, in partnership with Peter James Insurance.
This bespoke offering – simply named VSCC Insurance – has been designed with input from our members and shaped around the real needs of those who live and breathe vintage motoring. From member-to-member cover to support for younger drivers, the scheme reflects our values: community, custodianship, and care for the future.
Listening to Members. Shaping the Future.
The origins of the scheme lie in something quite simple – feedback. Members told us they wanted a product that genuinely met their needs. They wanted to speak to real people, not call centres. They wanted cover that understood what it means to be part of the VSCC – whether that is trialling a pre-war special, taking part in a driving test, or simply enjoying a summer evening on a Members' Meet.
Thanks to our long-standing relationship with Peter James Insurance, we are proud to deliver exactly that. The team at Peter James share our passion and understand the world of historic motoring. Their new dedicated Club line puts our members straight through to experienced specialists in the Midlands – not a script-reading agent in a call queue.
“We are excited to offer a scheme that is not only value for money, but truly tailored to the way our members enjoy their cars,” said Tania Brown, Club Secretary. “VSCC Insurance supports the full range of Club activities and helps ensure that members feel confident bringing new people into our community.”
Encouraging a New Generation
One of the most exciting features is member-to-member cover, included as standard. This allows Club members to share their cars with one another under fully comprehensive insurance – at no extra cost. Whether you are introducing a friend to the Trials, encouraging a young enthusiast to have their first drive, or offering a ride in a Bugatti to a willing Marshal, it is all about removing barriers and encouraging connection.
Additionally, the scheme includes cover for young drivers, recognising that the future of vintage motoring depends on bringing through the next generation. For families, newcomers and younger enthusiasts, this is an important step in making our cars accessible and safe to drive – with support from insurers who understand their value and quirks.
“By offering tailored insurance coverage for young drivers, we are paving the way for future generations to discover the magic of these incredible cars,” said Dave Youngs, Partnerships Director at Peter James Insurance.
