When renewing my insurance with Adrian Flux I succumbed to paying for Agreed Value Insurance, quoting a value of £5,000. I've was planning to spend £2,000 on various works this year plus planning a rear subframe restoration at some point, so the thinking was to protect that investment.
Having got the car in tip top condition https://www.a2oc.net/community/index.php?threads/good-scrub-up-today.37254/ I duly sent of the forms and photos. Today they confirmed a Agreed Value Insurance of £3,500.
They say I can contest this by getting a signed and dated independent valuation from a member of the Institute of Automotive Engineers and Assessors (www.iaea-online.org) or a valuation appraisal from www.classiccarvaluations.co.uk.
Neither of above websites give an indication of how much this would cost and the www.classiccarvaluations.co.uk is redirected to a Julian Shoolheifer website.
Any thought if it is worth contesting?
List of main works over it's life is attached as pdf.
PS The AV documentation says that in the event of a total loss I still have to contest any valuation by the main insurer, so this AV insurance doesn't remove that hassle.
