Contact Hagerty and ask for an agreed-upon value policy. They might be a bit leery of TVRs though...I think they had to pay out a lot on a previous policy.

Try CNA. Also, look for insurance brokers and ask them to shop your car around for a policy quote. Ask for "specialist" or collector car insurance, rather than kit car policies.

$1000 per six months is about double what it should be for an agreed-upon value. They are ripping you off...but if you don't find any cheaper alternatives, what choice do you have?? Good luck.
Cheers for the heads up, like I say, Progressive were the first people I called, just because they insured me on a motorcycle as a non-resident before (a few companies wouldn't touch me as a foreigner). I'll ring around for a better quote if the headache of importing my TVR turns out to be worth it!

I called up 'Progressive' and they didn't have my Tamora on their register, so they were able to quote me using an agreed valuation quote...it came back at a pricey $1000 for 6 months but that is the first company I've tried...I'm trying to bring my TVR over as a non-resident for a year this Sep/Oct. I will keep you posted
To me anyway, that doesn't sound too bad of a price considering the type of car and value.

I thought so too. As a non-resident with a car they've never heard of, $1k for 6 months sounds very reasonable. I've seen a lot higher premiums for a lot slower and cheaper machinery.
