My insurance is coming up for renewal and currently with Admiral. However they dont do an agreed value, so since i have now got lots of nice bits on the car like v12 side sills / bonnet, carbon bits and expensive wheels etc, I would like to get an agreed value policy.

Has anyone done this for their car?

Thanks

Mark

Classicline do agreed value insurance www.classiclineinsurance.co.uk/
Also Europe-wide car recovery is included. Premiums are very reasonable.

Worth giving Lockton's a call. They do agreed values and service has been excellent

What I've found though with Lockton's is that sometimes they're miles off the pace (price too high) but sometimes they're miles off the pace (price way too low, in which case go with them).

Seconded! Agreed valuation for £550 for a V12 Vantage on 5k miles.

Don't bother asking for an online insurance quote with classic line, spent hours doing on line format for my DB9, got to the end where they said I'll have to phone for a quote! 😠😠😠

Your car's looking great Mark. Have you made engine/clutch upgrades too? I don't have an agreed value recommendation but am interested in what answers you get because I think they are more used to agreeing values on "classic" cars rather than modified cars.

Only engine mod was some Prodrive Sports Cats, but they will be swapped out with the Velocity or RS Fab ones later this year. James at DAE keeps trying to persuede me to do it and its starting to work!!!

I've just gone to Adrian Flux for a quote. Really easy process, and more competitive that Locktons could find - including with agreed value.

Who does everyone use to get their valuation?

I asked Chiltern after they did my service and they wanted over £120 which I was quite surprised by.

Did AM Works charge you for your valuation?

For the last three years AMWorks have provided a valuation whilst with them for annual service - no (additional!) charge...

Valuation typically needed every 2 years for "agreed value". I've never been charged by Works or dealer. All it requires of them is a simple email to the insurance broker to confirm a valuation. I think a dealer trying to charge - especially £120 - is scandalous

Try calling Locktons and see if they can match ClassicLine?

Wierd - I've just been working through quotes and AF were £200 cheaper than Lockton. With AF, you can purchase excess protection for c£40-50 which brings excess down to £100 on 1st claim each year.
