After a couple of years with Neil Willies, then Glynwood, I got chatting to Classicline Insurance at their stand at Auto Italia Oliver Saunt is an ex-Coupe owner (and regretting selling his 350 bhp 20vt...), so he knows all about the car and the fascination they hold This year, I gave him the chance of a quote, and he beat Glynwood's renewal quite comfortably - 3,000 miles a year (more than enough normally, but I'm off to LeMans this year)
- £7,500 agreed value
- All mods declared - £12,500 of spend and 480-ish bhp
- Breakdown cover (inc Homestart and European cover)
- Excess of just £250
- Trackday cover
Total cost for a year was just £245I reckon a more "normal" Coupe would be a fair bit cheaper Definitely worth giving Oliver a try 01455 639 000 oliver@classiclineinsurance.co.uk www.classiclineinsurance.co.uk

I'll second Classicline - I've just insured with them too, far far cheaper than anywhere else. Plus Oliver (olly) is a top bloke and used to have a coop running 450ish bhp build by Barbs.

I must have had the same guy on the phone … he told me all about his old Coop as well! Couldn’t insure me though, they couldn’t handle me not having a garage and living in central Glasgow.

This is interesting to see.
Classicline have just become the insurance partner for the Porsche owners club I work for. Will definitely have to give them a shot when it’s time to renew.

Classicline quoted me £340 for mine and Glynwood £230.
Exactly the same information supplied of course but the Glynwood quote had an agreed value so I went with it! The strange thing was it was underwritten by exactly the same insurance company.
Needless to say I wont be trying Classicline again.

Well as they say in the States, YMMV, it's worth trying as many companies each year, you may not change at all, or you may change every year. It's hard trying to understand how these companies work, in my case Glynwood were better than Classicline, and the only reason I can think of that some of us can't do any better with Classicline is that we're living in the "wrong" area (south of the Thames, or Glasgow ![wink wink](/forum/images/graemlins/default/wink.gif) )

Hi Joe, Just taken out insurance with CLI, well happy with the service and the price. This is a copy of the letter regarding the agreed value, it isn't a separate policy. "Classicline's agreed valuation service, we acknowledge your payment of £0. Please complete and return the attached vehicle valuation form and please follow the instructions set out on the vehicle valuation form. Please note until we have received a completed valuation form along with the required photographs and we have sent you a certificate of valuation agreeing the valuation of your vehicle the vehicle will be covered on a market value basis only." They would like about six photos, outside and inside, and engine bay, with the vehicle reg in one or more of the pictures. Does that answer your question, I've got copies of all the paperwork, sent me yesterday, will bring them up on Saturday.

It's still rather vague John, they offer a certificate of valuation agreement but does that ensure if a total loss was to occur you'll receive that agreed amount? Still looks a little grey to me, I know I may be viewed as being a little pushy with this subject atm but I deal with calls from owners where they say they've been involved in an accident and the insurance is only offering market value, these are people that have also purchased agreed valuations which were insurance policies, not under written so for those past incidents it wasn't worth the paper it's written on.

Hope this helps, Joe - below is a direct copy from their letter to me regarding values.....
"The figure that we agree will be the current market value of the vehicle and unfortunately cannot take into account the cost of restoration or any sentimental value. If you have recently purchased the vehicle, the purchase price will be the agreed value."

ClassicLine’s online system is a bit frustrating. I’m going to need to phone them instead.
I started filling in the form for a quote, but had to stop and return later. When I returned it had timed out (fair enough), but it won’t let me start afresh. I get as far as putting my email address in, then it tells me I already have an account and must log in to continue. But I can’t log in because I don’t actually have an account – I had only just started filling in the form.
That aside, my hunt for insurance this year is going well so far. As usual, I’m cheaper with a normal insurer than a specialist. Best specialist quote so far is £600+ with a £500 excess from Adrian Flux … whereas my best normal quote is £179 with a £350 excess from Direct Line.

Well, ClassicLine couldn’t help, was looking at around £700 with them. Really friendly and thorough, but my situation just seems to suit high street insurers better than specialist firms.
I got Direct Line down to £164 with only £250 excess. Had to go for that, really. Daft not to … That’s for 10,000 miles, parking on-street and adding my girlfriend as a named driver. Amazing really.

The problem with mainstream insurance comes if the car gets written off.
Usually it will be a derisory payment following very minor damage.

No agreed value is the trade-off for cheap cover. I’m aware of that, and consider it a reasonable gamble. Over four years I’ll save the entire value of the car.
