Peter James Insurance partners with the Austin Healey Club
We are delighted to announce a new exclusive partnership between our classic vehicle brand Peter James Insurance and the Austin Healey Club, to provide a new insurance scheme tailored to owners of Austin Healeys and the associated models – the Warwick Healeys and Jensen Healeys.
Focused on meeting the needs of our customers, we provide a traditional broking service with personalised products, evidenced by the bespoke schemes launched by Peter James Insurance in the last two years. These include partnerships with many notable classic car and bike clubs including MG Car Club, the Vintage Sports Car Club, Morgan Sports Car Club and the Royal Enfield Owners Club.
A thriving club with many regional centres it offers members regular meetings, events and a monthly magazine ‘RevCounter’. As an organisation, the Austin Healey Club is dedicated to enjoying all aspects of the cars as well as preserving the marque and its variants.
Peter James Insurance, as part of the Kingfisher Insurance family, has an unrivalled reputation for the provision of specialist classic and vintage vehicle insurance, having been at the heart of the classic vehicle community for decades. This close relationship gives the team an understanding of the importance of membership-based organisations that form the backbone of the classic car community. Clubs must ensure their activities and members’ needs are well funded and catered for, and that the membership benefits offer true value for their annual subscriptions.

Rob Hudson, Southwest Centre Director at Austin Healey Club commented:
“Working in partnership with Peter James Insurance on the development and launch of Austin Healey Club Insurance has been a worthwhile endeavour, and is a great opportunity for our Club to provide yet another valuable benefit to our members. We see the introduction of this new product as a major attraction to Healey owners who are considering joining our Club, as well as offering our existing membership a great, value for money option when renewing their current policy. Importantly, we see the ability for younger drivers in particular, to get cover under this new scheme, as an important part of expanding our offering to include future generations, who have until now, been unable to obtain cover at a sensible price… if at all. For our Club, and for our members this is a win-win.
Dave Youngs, Partnerships Director at Peter James Insurance, added:
“We are thrilled to be working with the Austin Healey Club. We’ve worked closely with the club to ensure it truly supports membership and delivers real benefits to club life, helping members to further enjoy their vehicles and preserve them for future generations to enjoy.”
