Every Era Needs Agreed Value Cover

Whether your classic was built in 1935 or 1985, the same principle applies: standard motor insurance uses depreciated market value, which may not reflect what your vehicle is actually worth in the collector market.

Specialist agreed-value insurance sets the payout amount upfront — so in a total loss, you receive the full replacement value with no disputes and no depreciation deductions.
