Listers,
I have had Hagerty insurance on all of my old cars for years and it is good
and I actually had a good experience on a claim - my wife was driving our
'67 Morris Minor ragtop here in West LA and was hit head-on by a woman
driving a SUV whilst on the phone!!! The wife luckily was not hurt but the
car was pretty bad (whole front clip destroyed) and had I not had a garage
full of enough good sheet metal and chrome trim to replace the whole thing,
the car would have been beyond rational financial restoration. - it cost
over $1500 to repair the unibody and install the sheet metal - the body and
paint (the whole car) was $3500 more! Since the car had "reasonable"
original paint and needed carpets I only had it insured for $ 6000
so............. they put some photos on the internet to salvage yards,
asked for bids, got two for $500 and sent me a check for $5500 and never
insisted on a salvage title. Fair as could have been expected.
If you live in California, you could consuder contacting Jon Barlow at

insurance and Classic Car event insurance (we have both the LA and Palo
Alto British Meets insured with Jon) he offers a number of different
