cmarsh02 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave W Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmarsh02 Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 Many thanks both - I think I may just risk my 'pile of bits' being uninsured for the time being! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
