Wife and I could</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">n't agree and ultimately the judge accepted the insured values.

<div style="clear:both"><span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The judge was smart, fair, and facilitated an agreement. He started off by picking and choosing, since my wife indicated they were a worth a lot more than the insured value, so we each picked two and I had to delivery the two. When I asked by what date, he asked my wife if she would rather have them delivered or take cash. She chose cash; he stipulated half of the insured value and it was over (especially since she didn't offer a value herself). </span></span></div>

<div style="clear:both"><span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Just a good caring judge made the difference.</span></span></div>

I feel I know the fair market value for my cars - basically the price
Iâd sell them for. I also have them insured for a greater value
due to the incremental way insurance is sold. Wife thinks
they are made of gold.<br>
<br>
Iâve owned LBCs for 35 years (not current cars) and done all work
except paint. I usually struggle through repairs but finally
manage. <br>
<br>
I think I know the best way to find the valuation is to hire an
appraiser, but short of that, does anyone have experience or thoughts how
to handle LBC valuation in a divorce? <br>
<br>
I have four cars, â72 MGB, â68 BGT, â73 TR6, â59 Minor. One
solution is to pick and choose - I get two and wife gets two.
<br>
<br>
TR6 and MGB drivable. BGT & Minor not drivable. Paint on
Minor original; all others over 10 years. Tires on all over 10
years. <br>
<br>
Thanks for input (even humor).<br>
