I was considering moving away from them this year, especially when the renewal came through with another set of re-valuation & Mods forms. However, after speaking with several other brokers I was getting a bit fed up of listening to restrictions and failure to offer similar terms. So I called Glynwood and was told that I didn't need to re-submit the valuation and mods lists if nothing had changed. I just needed to send them the mileage declaration. Quote for Fully Comp Garaged Coupé in Cambridgeshire. All mods declared and covered. SDP including commuting. £250 compulsory excess only. Agreed value. Euro cover. Legal expenses cover. Limited to 5000 Miles PA. Salvage retention after total loss & UK Breakdown including Homestart cover. £274, I'm reasonably happy with that ![smile smile](/forum/images/graemlins/default/smile.gif)

Bob Have you sorted the agreed value? The only thing that annoyed me with Glynwoods (probably their Broker) is they wont give me an agreed value as i dont park it in a garage! so thinking it was part of the policy i felt a bit annoyed about this! A bit strange that, as I don't have a garage and park my coupe and the X1/9 on the drive and there has never been a problem with agreed value. I renewed my cover with them a couple of days ago. If I were you I would call their Redditch branch manager Paul Bussey, 01527 591057. I can confirm what Bob has just said, I was speaking to Glynwood yesterday, clarifying that they were still offering the terms that MarioCirillo and I agreed when we originally negotiated the scheme with Neil Willies back in 2012.

Bob Have you sorted the agreed value? The agreed Value was arranged the previous year. I completed their paperwork, took high resolution photographs and had an independent verification undertaken. This agreed value is confirmed on the Glynwood paperwork and the Policy document. So yes I suspect it is all sorted. Bob

He did say that he had an enquiry for an Alfa which was too young for them today, must have been another one then.
Thanks for clarifying it.

Just dug out the letter and this is what it said
With regards to the above your insurers have advised that unfortunately due to the vehicle being kept on the public road, they will not be able to offer an agreed value for the vehicle. Any claim will therefore be based on the market value of the vehicle at the time of the loss and they will proceed on this basis. Yours sincerely
I feel annoyed by this as I don't recall any mention of conditions when I took out the insurance! Was a good price but I will certainly consider looking else where at renewal! This has now happened to me ![grr grr](/forum/images/graemlins/default/mad.gif) My insurance was due on 25th April and it's taken Equity Red Star (through Glynwood) over six weeks to let me know they can't do an agreed value on a non -garaged coupe. Similarly to H_R I feel they've been neglectful in informing the customer of this policy change well before the renewal date. A recorded delivery letter was sent to me on 13th June which didn't arrive till 16th June which was the morning I left on the North of Scotland tour for 4 days - have just collected the letter from the sorting office now and find I have until the end of today to sort it before they cancel cover !! Btw Marie Jones has now left Glynwood. As I'm pushed for time I'd appreciate any feedback from peeps in a similar situation where they were able to obtain an agreed value with on-street parking ![smile smile](/forum/images/graemlins/default/smile.gif)

So then, which insurer do we reckon is a good one for proper "Agreed Value". I can't say who I went with last year, but I'm looking to change this year, to one who does a proper "Agreed Value", and not limited mileage, well not 3000 or less.

Lancaster Insurance Services
Tel: 01480 484848
Just tell them you want an agreed valuation for whatever value you want cover for. This service costs 17 pound I think and then you send photos, receipts, service history, documents etc through a link they send you via email and they review all info and decide the valuation which may be higher or lower than you wanted.

Cheers ![smile smile](/forum/images/graemlins/default/smile.gif) sounds similar to my current insurer, but, and a very big but, once I'd filled in all the paperwork, they refused to give me the value I'd asked for. Bit naughty really as they had taken my money, and the car was on risk. Joe and I had worked out how much the agreed value should be, but the insurer was basing his value on book price. Wouldn't have it that the car was no longer subject to "Book Value" having had an 11 month full blown restoration. John

I didn't get what I asked for either John and am currently waiting for further letter/report from Joe. I asked for 25k but they wouldn't go above 20K, again Im at risk of losing 5k in the event of a total loss.

Same here Bud, you know what work we put into the restoration, I'm not daft to expect to get £15K if I sold her, it is about protecting your investment in the case of an accident, but you know that.

Okay, so they’ve shut down the Glynwood stuff and moved it all over. Got it.
Maybe someone can update PeteP’s locked thread about the club insurance scheme?

Heh, yeah. Having phoned them, I think you could say that.
They’ve never heard of any Fiat Coupé club … and their best quote for me was £880-something as opposed to my existing renewal quote of £241.

Pete is looking at insurance. At the moment we are not recommending Glynwood's new incarnation.
A problem is that we have two needs for insurance: firstly for those cars which are basically in good usable condition and used maybe daily, worth up to maybe five thousand - these need general insurance, maybe just TPFT. Second are those which have had a lot of money spent on restoration, some of which are now in better than showroom and are basically new cars - and logically, worth ten, fifteen, or twenty grand; maybe more. In such cases we want to be able to insure then at a higher, and often highly contentious, value, to protect the investment to some extent. These high agreed values much harder to agree with insurance companies.
In most cases as well we want recovery cover: most mainline recovery companies won't cover cars over fifteen years old.
Yet sadly there is not yet an understanding that the coupe is, or is becoming, a classic car: if your car is newer than 1997 forget it...
Not an easy task.

Totally understand – these are the same problems all modern classics have.
Ridiculously, I get the best prices (by a huge margin) from Direct Line nowadays. Even the specialist brokers I used to use in my Porsche owning days can’t come close.
I realise I’m sacrificing quality of service when needing to actually make any claims, but saving £500+ per year makes up for that – and they give a 10k mile allowance, permit commuting use, and include a free courtesy car. No classic specialist will match that.

As Neil says, I am starting to look at other insurers for our club members coupes.
If the cars were older it would be easy, unfortunately it may not be a quick process.
