Rebuild Insurance

[cmarsh02]

Hi again,

Wonder if anyone can help with advice regarding insurance during a rebuild please?

I'm still in the early stages of my S3 rebuild project and my previous insurance policy just expired (with Adrian Flux).

I tried to extend the policy with them but they declined stating that it needs to be a rolling chassis with an engine in it before they would quote.

Lancaster said it would need to be 50% completed, and Carole Nash said it would need to 'resemble a vehicle'.

My house insurance also declined saying they don't cover anything vehicle related.

Has anyone had any luck in the past, in terms of insuring all their Landy bits & parts, whilst they were all in boxes and not yet bolted onto the chassis (leaning against the wall!)?

Many thanks,

Chris

You could try NFU

I looked into this a few years back and couldn't get any joy, I gave up in the end and did what I could to ensure it's security during the build until it was back on the road. As you have found, unless it resembles a vehicle, car insurance companies don't seem to be interested. One of the main stumbling blocks seems to be the value, a pile of bits is difficult to put a value on when compared to a complete vehicle and if that pile of bits gets stolen, who will know what was there ?

Maybe some of the classic car specialists could help, I only tried a few of the LR specialists when I was enquiring about it.

Many thanks both - I think I may just risk my 'pile of bits' being uninsured for the time being!
