Original UK Price of 1983 Series III Stage 1 109?

[vbdave26]

Trying to get insurance on my new to me LR and I was asked to find the original price for the vehicle.

Can anyone steer me in the right direction?

Thanks

"original price" ?!?!? Has NOTHING to do with what the replacement cost of the vehicle is today. You need a new insurance agent / company.

If you were in CO , I'd love to help you....

If its an occasional use vehicle try: www.hagerty.com

If you use it a bit, and do go off road from time to time... SAFECO has a good "Classic Car" policy.

http://www.safeco.com/ you can search for a local agent that can help you.


Good Luck

I would agree. On both my '95 defender and my new to me S3 I worked with my agent to establish a reasonable assessemt of replacement value which is the only relevant metric to insure against. Unless your truck is a total disaster the original price will be far lower than it's current value and therefore a meaningless number.

I've got coverage with Grundy and have been pleased-it's a specialty policy for classics but I don't have a mileage restriction and the coverage is cheap. I got quoted by Hagerty but then they refused because I might take if off road-imagine that a Land Rover going off road!? Grundy had no problem with it but I did explain that off roading in a 64 IIa means fire lanes, dirt roads and beach driving-not rock crawling.

So that means your insurance agent thinks a 64 SC Cobra is worth $6000.00 because that was the original price? I agree with the others, you need to find an agent that looks past his computer screen.

one Stage One owner to another ... congrats on your purchase and where are you?

They need to know the original value so they can determine it's current value based on depreciation. That's how a normal policy works. If you want a policy based on what it's currently "worth" then you need a different type of agreed replacement cost policy.

I asked my agent who does our cars, house, business about agreed upon replacement value and they wanted me to get it appraised. I sort of thought that was their job to do so I've been thinking that I might look elsewhere for the rover. Will check out the above mentioned.
