The equivalency bit is what I find interesting. If someone crashes into my Scimitar GTC am I entitled to hire an equivalent and claim of their insurance? A lot of the enjoyment I get from driving it is that it's a classic. So can I go and hire a Triumph Stag at £160 a day rather than say a modern BMW 3 Series at £75 a day?
