Tell your insurance company you are going elsewhere.... they will soon include it! If they don't someone else will. They are in the business of keeping your business and they will do all they can to do so if you threat to leave.

Road insurance or breakdown insurance?

I've never heard of insurers not offering normal road insurance in Europe for older vehicles, but many breakdown policies have age limits.
