[Healeys] Insurance

[Peter Hunt]

Charlie,

I have spoken with my own insurers here in the UK
www.rhclassicinsurance.co.uk

and was advised that they don't cover UK vehicles shipped to North America;
they recommend that your friends contact one or more of the USA insurance
companies - such as Hagerty etc. for a limited duration period tour.

If I recall correctly, this we had to do when the three Healeys came over
for the Route 50 tour in 2002. To date, I have not found my files on the
tour but suspect that it may have been Hagerty who covered us, maybe for
Third Party only.

It will be just a question of calling all possible specialist classic car
insurers in the USA.

Sorry I cannot be of more help.

Peter

I'm also sending this to a friend who is a State Farm agent.

I know that on the list, we have gone over antique car insurance many 
times in the past, but this is a new twist.

I have some friends shipping an MGB over from the UK to do the Route 66 
'tour'.  They are shipping it into Baltimore and staying for a week with 
friends in PA, then setting out for Chicago to trace what is left of 
Route 66.  This basically means they are driving across the country and 
back, I guess.  I don't know if anyone would care that it is right hand 
drive.

They haven't yet found anyone to insure the MG for this trip, and asked 
for my help.  Their company in England apparently will not do it and 
isn't very helpful.  I gave then some suggestions, AAA, and the antique 
car insurers like Hagerty, American Collectors, and others.

I know there are some on this list who have shipped their car to the UK 
to drive around over there, and others who were part of the Aussie 
invasion in 2005 that came here to race their Healeys, but don't recall 
anyone mentioning bringing a car from the UK to drive over here in the USA.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
