I looked to have an agreed value policy on the classic cooper S this year as I thought the value was under valued. I paid the fees and sent the photos with a selection of ‘similar’ cars that were for sale. I say similar, they were a similar age and mileage. Mine is one of around 10 cars by John Cooper and in fact mine is number 1 of the 10. The result was they declined the value I thought it should be and suggested their own value which was about 2k higher than it originally was and nowhere near enough to replace what I have. I have a friend with a mini who did an engine swap and the same company agreed a value of 30k! Seemed to be no logic to their decision

Cool

It’s been a up hill struggle to get the valuation required. Most independent companies do not recognise the ZT as being a “classic”, seems it needs to be at least 25 years old.
My current insurer, Lancaster, have said that I need to reinsure Banana with them, I’ve currently got the multi vehicles insurance with them. But the premium will start at over £1k if I want to insure the car for £7,500. Plus £750 excess. Think that’s a bit steep.

One independent valuation company wanted me to send them a fee of £345 before they would come and look at the car but they could not promise that the car would be worth it. And no return of any or part of the fee. And I have read the small print in there bumf.

So she is still currently insured for £3,500 so it looks like I’ll have to leave it at that.

Many thanks for the advice, links and tips.

I’m not a multi vehicle insurance fan, all mine are separately insured. It’s a bit more leg work but I find it more competitive. My mini is with Adrian flux who don’t just do classics. Might be worth a phone call one your renewal is due
