Peter James Insurance has teamed up with the 2CVGB Club to launch an innovative insurance scheme tailored for enthusiasts of classic Citroën A-series cars such as the 2CV, Dyane, Ami, Mehari, and Bijou. This initiative aims to support the preservation and enjoyment of these distinctive vehicles, which hold a special place in automotive history.
Established in 1978, the 2CVGB Club is dedicated to representing historic Citroën A-series vehicles in the UK, boasting approximately 2,200 members. The club’s efforts include maintaining a rich archive of 2CV-related documentation and managing registers that track the remaining UK-registered A-series vehicles. Their commitment extends to preserving these classics by facilitating access to scarce spare parts and disseminating technical knowledge.
Peter James Insurance, renowned for their specialist coverage of classic and vintage vehicles, has been a pillar in the historic vehicle community for over 40 years. This partnership underscores their understanding of the unique needs of membership-based organizations like the 2CVGB Club, which are vital to the thriving car enthusiast community.
The new insurance scheme promises to enhance the value of club membership by offering bespoke features such as member-to-member cover, allowing members to drive each other’s cars without additional charges. Young drivers can also benefit from several coverage options, including accompanied driving, fostering the next generation of car enthusiasts.
Dave Youngs, Partnerships Director at Peter James Insurance, expressed his excitement about the collaboration: “Working with 2CVGB to develop this unique insurance scheme has been a thrilling journey. It’s designed to safeguard the legacy and enjoyment of these personality-packed vehicles, much like their owners!”
