Insurance suggestions

Grundy?

Any of you use Grundy Insurance? I got a nice quote for a "stated value" policy. Cheaper than Haggerty. Grundy seems to allow higher limits of liability which Haggerty apparently did not. Grundy also gave me a very nice quote for a 1999 Porsche 911 - about half of what AAA was charging me. I don't have the policy in hand yet, so I guess there's the opportunity for them to mess around a bit with the quote.

I have my Series III insured with full coverage at Farmers Insurance, No problems with age on the vehicle or what she looks like .

Are there any recommendations for insurance? The truck will be registered in New York and will not be a daily driver. Hagerty insures my Morgan but seems uninterested in tha SII. The insured my SIII ten years ago, but it seems they've changed.

Don't pass the same cop twice in the same week.

I have antique tags too. VA was a joke compared to PA. In PA you had to provide photos and any little flaw was cause for disapproval. In VA anything goes as long as it meets the 25 year rule.

If you drive it too work one day a week and on weekends for a car show or off-road event you would be fine. If you want to drive it daily, get regular tags.

bmohan, why would they make you change the marker lights and speedo?

My marker lights (in fact most lights) were non-functioning, I replaced headlights, tail lights and turns signals. Speedo worked up to about 35 mph then fell to zero.. after my "working on it" it doesn't move at all!

Limited use is "sunday drives" and to and from club events, parades and car shows. I drive it to work couple times a week, if I get in an accident I figure I'll tell them I was taking it in to have the mechanics there work on it...half the time that's the truth anyways. I'm luckey to have some great and knowlegable car guys as co-workers. BTW Hagerty just asked me to name the declared value, no back up documentation.

I think you may have spoken to the wrong person at Haggerty. I've used them for years covering several old Series vehicles and just had my '73 Series III policy re-issued. I've found them to be one of the most cost effective carriers....It might just be a Florida thing???

Agent thing is more likely.

Florida is absolutly terrible for insurance. Very pricey.

I have it as well in MA with stated value of 8500 bucks. 92 bucks a year. Time for a different Hagerty rep!

I went with the antique registration here in Maine for the same sort of reasons: minor light issues and a small exhaust leak. I wanted to at least drive it some while sorting those out. Now that I have, I plan on converting to regular registration and inspection so I can drive it whenever I like.

Been insured through Geico for years (that lizard is just so darn cute); had several claims, mostly for windshields, and never had any beef with them. The SIIa is just convered for liability for now; I can get a classic car policy with them, but have to go through an appraisal first. Since I plan on a lot of changes in the next 6 months or so, I'm was going to defer that to avoid churning on reappraisals. If some companies let me name my own value, then I may have to rethink that decision.
