<DIV>While this discussion regards collision I think the greater concern would
be liability. I mean, yea, eating $50K on a damaged Tiger is a loss, but being
liable for hundreds of thousands of dollars (or more) is a far greater
risk. That said I think liability would be full time – regardless, because
anytime of the day someone could steal your car and create havoc. So, I can’t
see how “use” would not cover liability under any circumstance. Through my
collector insurance (20+ years) I was told that 2,500 max miles, not a daily
driver and in their words “an occasional Sunday drive” (not limited to Sunday)
is OK. The persons parting words were, “Just don’t drive it to work.”</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> I have three lesser “collector” cars. They are valued at $3,000
each. I don’t think I put more than 250 miles on anyone of them in a year.
Neither my wife, kids, nor anyone else have ever driven them. In my opinion
driving them to the store for parts, to eliminate flats spots in tires, cook off
condensation etc. are all part of what is necessary for “maintaining” the
car. Frankly I find what is termed “use” is rather ambiguously stated.
Stated in a way to control your driving, but wonder how it holds up in
court. Sort of like the parent that threatens to beat the daylights out of
you regarding your behavior – but legally can’t do so. Again, I’m more looking
at the liability side of insurance. I doubt I’d ever put a claim in on a $3,000
car. </DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>I have had the same issue - this is also for my early 911 and
912. There are a number of issues with all the classic car
policies. As you've noted, it can't be your daily driver. Not
only that, you have to have a car that is at least 15 years old for all
drivers in the house. My 2000 Boxster, which is still like new isn't
good enough. One company said I might be able to get a waiver of this
one. Some said there is no waiver.
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Another issue is that no one under 25 can drive the car.
So if my son and I drive to a car show, he can't drive at all. I
kind of get it. But, life's too short not to enjoy these cars with
my kids here and now.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Another issue is that you can use it to go to work once and a
while. But that is on a rare occasion when you are doing something
else. So if you want to drive it every Friday or a week here and
there, you won't be covered. That means NO coverage. Some of
them were really strict on this - like if you get in an accident on a
Wednesday morning at 7:00 am on your route to work, don't expect getting
coverage for the accident without a huge fight.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>One of the places, and I think it was Grundy's, I asked if I could
stop at a hardware store on the weekends. She gasped and recounted
how she saw a Ferrari parked at the far end of a Home Depot over the
weekend and thought to herself that she sure hopes she doesn't insure that
car! Geeze, really? Us car guys can't stop at a hardware store
and park at the far end? That's a show stopper for me. Note some
others said it was ok if it was part of a joy ride and not a weekend
errand drive.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Believe me, I called EVERY ONE of the companies and asked them all
the same questions. They all basically gave the same answers.
Yes, you can get their insurance and figure they will never know.
And they may give half answers about how they cover various things.
But, if you really put them to specific questions, they don't give good
answers. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I get it. They have to evaluate their risk and what they want
to insure. They want to insure parade cars and joy ride cars, and
will take the risk for a restaurant with your wife here and there.
That's not me, and never will be. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I guess you can look at it another way too. I have not paid
more than $10k for any of my cars. So in one way, if something bad
happened, I would be out only $10k plus the expenses over the years.
I know, two of these cars are probably (definitely?) worth over $100k in
investment terms. So I could lose much more in paper. I don't
like looking at it this way, but it is a way to rationalize it.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Right now, I do a lot of self insurance by being especially careful
where I park the cars, how long I am away from them, how well they are
locked up, etc. It's not perfect. But, I'd rather be
underinsured than have NO insurance because I have a classic policy and
I'm using it to actually drive.</DIV>

<DIV>Hi All,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>With the recent jump in auction prices for our cars, I am wondering
what people like me who just enjoy driving their cars are doing for
insurance. I just got turned down by Grundy because the
"vehicle cannot be used as backup, primary or secondary
transportation". This dispite the fact both my wife and I
have other cars which serve as our regular daily driver vehicles.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>To me, being able to take the Tiger out when and where I want to go
is the essence of having and enjoying the car in the first
place. It is the journey not the destination that matters to
me. I bought the car new in 1967 and have never
thought of it as a collectible or investment. Still with the
recent escalation in apparent values, I do not want to be stupid about
insurance.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Anyone else on the List that might be of a similar mind as me and
own their Tiger for the enjoyment of driving it can bring?
If so what do you do for insurance?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>TIA,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
