I usually don't post on the list but I have to relate my experiences
with insurance.
I tried Hagerty and when I told them I had a Sunbeam Tiger MKII and I
wanted to insure it for $40k, the agent said that that was ridiculous
unless my car had won several awards at car shows or had some special
lineage. He said their computer has the value at $22k. When I pointed
out it was a MKII he didn't know what that was. When was the last
time you saw a MKII go for $22k???
My neighbor and another friend had JC Taylor, recommended them and
they insured it up to $30K without an appraisal.
I then had it appraised for a higher value and submitted it and now
it is insured at that value. They also need a picture of the car.
My neighbor had his 57 Bel Air stolen out of his driveway and they
paid it off within a few weeks. Zero hassle according to the neighbor.
Seems like everybody has a different opinion with insurance.
