Can anyone recommend any companies that will value your car for insurance purposes please? I've done a self valuation for this year but i'd like to get it properly valued. Thanks!

 

most decent insurance companys put you in contact with approved valuer, if its a RS people used to seek the registrar of the model to value it via that club

 

I thought it was the rs owners club that used to do the valuations providing you knew the secret handshake

 

Hi Glenn, is it insurance for your Saff ? I would advise that you go for an agreed value but make sure it is high enough as you are aware how much good ones cost now and how few are around. If your Insurance Company accepts your valuation they cannot then say its worth less if its stolen/not recovered or lost in a fire. I get my agreed value cost done at Tremona Garage who are Cosworth specialists in Southampton.

 

Yeh it's for the saff. I could say to the insurance company that it's only worth 10k where as it could be worth more.

 

 

Same with my insurance, I sent pictures and filled out a form and they included cost of everything I've done to it

 

ajamesc.I hope you have now got it insured for a realistic figure, Ł8k is a joke!!! A decent high spec engine will cost more than that these days.

 

gcfcos It is important to list everything that has been done to your car so if the worst was to happen the Insurance Company can't turn round and say you have not given them the correct information.and try to void your claim!

 

Insurance Companies like to have a valuation from a Cosworth specialist to back up your own valuation. Shop around to get the best deal on an agreed value.

 

My gtr is an agreed value and all mods declared, I had to itomise every modification with a specialist insurer

 

Yes they've got a list of everything I've done and photos and they agreed to the value I put on it

 

Yeh last time I sent some pics and I think I said it was worth about 12k and my insurance company agreed with what I said.

 

 

 

Speak to Paul at need to insure for advice Glenn he will put you right

 

 

You are spot on Paul, my Saff 2wd has an agreed value of Ł25k as I would have to find another rust free one and then do all the same modifications as it's got now. I think it would cost all of that at todays prices.

 

Speak to Paul Linfoot Glenn, he can sort you out. In more ways than one if you're a good boy!!!

 

make sure its a proper set in stone agreed value , agreed by both parties, and not just a worthless policyholders estimated value. ive been shafted by that in the past when I thought I had an agreed value! ended up getting offered the book price for a standard car and not the highly modded and restored version I had ! I got offered Ł500 for 5 year long modification and restoration project that cost me over Ł28000 !

 

I've spoke to Paul a few times. He's always been sound with me.

 

500 quid ha ha. That's s shocking.

 

Agree with you 100%. Deal with a well used and respected Insurance Company,make sure its all written down what you have agreed and then you will be OK. Been with Need to Insure for a fair while now and quite a few people with modified cars use them.

 

I had to have the capri independently valued early in the year as so many insurance companys state so called agreed value but its never fully covered to that amount as fuzzy found out, had to deal with lancaster classic insurance as the car was 40yrs+ they got a pro independent valuer to contact us to inspect it and the rest is history, you get what you pay for with car ins especially when it comes to classics or higher value enthusiast cars

 

There was a 4x4 Sapphire Cosworth for sale on E-Bay for ONLY Ł99,000 and it say's it has been sold!!!! I wonder if the new owner has got it insured with an agreed value of Ł99,000 and how much it cost!!!

 

Noooooo. Who would buy a saff for just short of 100k lol.

I've been insured with admiral for the past few years.

 

id sent them all the paperwork, photos , receipts etc and although all the talk was of agreed value policy apparently it wasn't an agreed value it was my estimated value !
so at the end of the day it meant nothing, flux shafted me again! they fucked me up previously when they decided to cancel my policy because theyd decided I wasn't a uk resident anymore
id rather drive uninsured than use Adrian flux

 

I guess they weren't on your Christmas Card list then !!!!!

 

Got an agreed value of Ł45k on the 3dr through Lancaster. Just submitted a form along with half a dozen photos of inside and out. Cost Ł15 extra on top of the policy .
My son has an agreed value of Ł15k on his MK1 FRS , heavily modded, all done via Adrian Flux.

 

Speak to people that understand Rs valuations Glenn like Paul Linfoot or paul at need to insure they both have a massive understanding and I think Paul Linfoot is accredited to give valuations with several insurance companies

 

Wouldn't use flux if they was free, heard so many stories about them screwing over people its unreal.

 

That was providing it had a decent rear bumper on it

 

Rear bumpers are like to rocking horse shit. So are the prices ha ha.

 

seem to make it up as they went along, I fell within the scope and tax payments of the inland revenues definition of uk resident but that wasn't good enough for Adrian flux!
