Well after seemingly endless calls to various companies (many I've used in recent years but some new) to get the V70R back on the road, it looks like I've got a deal!
Most classic insurers wanted it to be at least 20 years old (it's 1998), and the ones who would quote could only offer up to a 5000 mile annual limit.
Modern policies were sky high, as I've just turned 25 (and not seen the big drop in premiums I was expecting, even being told today it was because I'm 'only just' 25!) and as I'm not going to use it as my every day car, I can't use my 6 years NCB on quotes.
Just got off the phone with Kim at Chris Knott, and they're covering me for £445 on a modern policy (so it can earn its own NCB) fully comp. Very helpful, and VOC get a few quid out of the deal as well!
