Insurance renewal

[renmure]

I've taken advantage of Norm's socially distanced crawl around for my agreed value insurance with Footman James (who have a specialist kit car / classic car policy which is very comprehensive and they also appear to understand the nature of the cars without requiring loads of photos etc)

He does eat a lot of biscuits when doing the crawl around tho but I guess you get what you pay for

Yeah, crumbs

Steve, I remember your car at Phil's but I didn't give it the intense once-over, so I don't mind a trip to Skipton for a closer look. I don't want to say "yeah, ?50k sounds about right" or anything without seeing it. Jim's was pretty easy to value anyway cos it was a brand-new high-spec LB, whereas yours is a few years old now so it's down to spec, condition, how many biscuits you've got, etc. Remember though, that the higher the valuation, the more the premium usually is....
If you want to sort a visit PM me and we can set summat up. I'm away early next week but maybe Thursday onwards could work?

I was with Classic Line whilst I had my (Lagos Blu) Integrale EVO 2. Up to ?100k, you only have to send them half a dozen photos & fill out a form re its condition. Because there's always been plenty of Integrales about, CL were able to quite easily confirm the agreed value I was after (100k). Since our cars are somewhat rarer, it might be an idea to try & source some recent sales so CL can benchmark your car.

Good luck.

Cheers,
Hedge

Hi all
I checked my policy for this year and it had gone up ?6 since last year (seems pretty fair to me).
I called Classic Line as i did not know about SEC discount and they applied that.
I then upped the agreed valuation number by ?10k and got back to ?1 less than last year, so I have renewed with them.
Thanks for all comments and offers of help- Norm i will still buy you some biscuits when I see you!

Thanks
Steve

SEC discount!!???

I just renewed with Classic Line and wasn't aware - how much?

I went to Classic Line whilst still building for Build Insurance, after I discovered that they were about half the price of the previous insurer, and when complete stayed with them for full insurance, but had an issue on value initially.

This was resolved by Norman issuing (as a responsible Officer of the Club) a letter of valuation which they were happy to accept, (I think Norman that was the first one you did). I think that the premium seems to ruffly relate to about ?7 per 1000 at the time. But like others, not aware that they have introduced a Club discount, which is good news as renewal is due shortly.!!!!!

When I was talking to them to get the club recognised by them, I got the impression you got the discount automatically. No harm asking though.

Robin, when talking about "responsible officer....", I think you missed the "ir" off the front

Oh, and Steve, glad you got it all sorted. I sometimes think getting insurance is more complicated than building the sodding car....

I guess postcode, age and limited mileage, haggling ability and Scottishness must play a significant part as I've just done the math and I'm paying ?2.30 per 1000 of cover.
