Insurance for MK II Escort...

worm_lord · 24-03-2009, 03:02 PM

Hi,

Looking to insure my 1980 MkII Escort - any advice as to who would be a good group to go through? It would seem that the standard companies under-value the car a great deal (car is in good condition mechanically / exterior and interior) - was thinking that Shannons may well be the best bet??...

Any ideas or leads would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Shannons will probably be your best bet. I have the RS and teh Mini with them

I would also say try Shannons. I cant remember who I talked to but they said that basically it wasnt worth insuring and that i should just get 3rd party.

Cheers guys - Had a quick quote from Shannons yesterday which seemed half-reasonable.

Also have a mate who is an Insurance Broker chasing up some leads.

Thanks for the advice!

I got quoted $200 from RACV on 3rd party. Market value is $3000

Don't you mean agreed value.....? RACV hasn't got a clue when it comes to classic cars. Some knob ran into the back of my RS2000 and RACV tried to right it off saying it wasn't worth the $1600 it cost to fix. Shannons (who insures all my cars) laughed and told them to get a new red book. RACV reckoned my V6 Capri was worth $2500 market value.....Shannons valued it at $12000 from pics alone.

I am with the RAA in Adelaide. I had to give them photo's of my RS and they agreed with a value of $10000. Full comp costs me $250 per year.

No I do not mean agreed value. The RACV guy told me that the market value on the 1980 Escort 1.6 L Sedan was $3000.
