Would normally always recommend A-Plan, but due to a small claimette a couple of years ago, the insurance company (Service) obviously wanted to reclaim some of it's money!
Was with Churchill last year, but this year have gone with Chris Knott (use them for a couple of Alfas), and they seemed pretty desparate to get my business this year - £650 that's 1 claim (but protected), and a clean record, parked on a drive, mileage < 8000/yr 42 yrs old.
BTW a story about Admiral Insurance (and why I refuse to ever use them).....
A young oick in a Peugot 406 (with all the side skirts etc.) ran into the side of my alfa spider about 5 years ago, taking front offside wing, door skin and gouging rear quarter nicely, also scratching front offside wheel. Wheels were not available new any more and had to have a different wheel supplied. The rub is, obviously with one wheel different, I wanted 3 others the same.....
Yes, you've guessed it, the insurance company wouldn't pay up for the 3 wheels and I had to buy them (in hindsight would have gone for a refurb, knowing now that the damage would have ben repairable). Took legal advice, but apparently this is correct, they only have to pay to 'make good' and not replace 3 other perfect wheels with others.
