Just did my renewal with Peter Best for my sport - all mods declared (fully stripped track car), it wasn't so much the premium that stood out however that I was able to get an agreed value of £10,000

£280 a year, limited to 1500 miles, 250 excess and it's kept out in the sticks, so probably helps, but I do have 3 points.Kos wrote:Nice one

They didn't question the valuation at all, I just needed to supply 6 photos.

The value is only actually agreed once you've sent the photos and they agree and send back a certificate stating so

Tom wouldn't be that naive
No surprise its through KGM, thats who my e24 is with (Lancaster were the brokers in my case)
RE valuations etc. even once you send back their request for photos and fill out their forms and after their appraiser has signed it of they can still challenge the valuation in the even of the claim should it come to light that its just a shiny turd thats handing underneath.
The best thing to do is pay for a proper valuation where they inspect the car. I've had my e24 done again recently and its been signed of at 15k which is a touch above market value. what pushed the value up was the epic engine bay and attention to detail such as new trims and rubbers

No worries mate
BMW CC do them as do Munich Legends (Both will do valuations based on photos and visual valuations)
Id go with the CC and get int0 contact with neil McDonald who looks after the e30 register and organises the track days with Nick Wright. As your car is an e30 track car then they'd be ideal for in independent valuation.

Kos can be as very useful and offers good advise if you read his posts and not just as some one said as quoted below. LOLLondonTom wrote:Thanks again Kos - really helpful advice.Kos wrote:No worries mate

Close Brothers finance too (have the same with my cars), is it me or do you think their slice of the pie is a bit greedy?

X5 V8 for thrills, CRV for chills, Range Rover P38 V8 for sooooo much aggravation...
