With mine (Privilege) it's far from obvious when taking out cover. Ours is a combination of specific car (Volvo, any driver, as we add our family onto it at times) and personal cover (both of us) when travelling in (or driving) any car.

The ONLY place I've seen it drawn attention to this time is in the covering letter sent with the renewal schedule, though I was already aware of it (not sure how). I guess it's buried in the full policy somewhere!

The letter specifies "under 16 years old and is privately registered and being used in the UK".

Edit:
The policy states the same thing but in a separate sentence says:
"What's not covered: Journeys in vehicles that are more than 15 years old"
This is confusing as "old" is not defined, though I'm assuming time since first registration not build date as they wouldn't know that.
And what happens in the 1 year period from the cars 15th anniversary to it's 16th?
