Aside from AON, anyone good got experience for insuring their 1990s Lancia under limited mileage policies?

That is, Lancias under 10 years old which seems to be the cut off point. Can get unlimited miles easy enough but will only be used 6 months of the year and perhaps 2000 miles, if that. I guess this is aimed at a very limited number as those with 1997 on Lancias in the UK don't amount to many.

Never got anywhere with Aon as if you don't have a garage on the property, or park in the road they don't want to know. :(
For the last 9 years I've insured my Fulvia on a classic unlimited policy with Footman James, with a £5000 agreed value, continental cover & continental breakdown cover, Drivers covered are my wife, myself + 1 other, Including excess recovery insurance, for under £150 PA.

My Y10 was insured fully comp with Saga, ( not really any cheaper for 3rd party fire & theft) but as the value of the Y10 that any insurer would be prepared to pay out, would be about £500, which in all honesty would only cover a very minor knock, anything else would mean the insurers would write it off;
I decided to take on the highest excess possible (as suggested by the Saga consultant), the reasoning being is that I would never claim, so I would never pay the excess, while at the same time being covered for any damage etc to any other vehicle, property or person.

Doing this, with an excess of £900,  I obtained fully comp on the Y10 Gtie (1302cc), for £86 from them.
