Patrick,
Here, I have found that upon applying, they will ask you 1) for photos, and 2)
to have the car appraised (for condition) 3)then as what value you wish to
insure it for, and price the policy accordingly. The only bind comes if you
attempt to cover it for substantially more than they feel it is worth.
Automated adjustments in value are news to me. --I've usually had to call to
update the value, and it sometimes requires persuasion on my part. -And the
premium changes accordingly.

G'day
As a matter of interest if your insurer increases the stated market
value of your car does the annual premium you have to pay also
increase?
I'm not aware that this exists here in Australia except for lower priced
vehicles, but then again it works going down in price. Such as it's just
not possible to insure a 1979 Honda Civic for $50,000.
For collectable cars you can insure it for an agreed value providing
it's reasonable and you want to pay the appropriate premium.

Me also. They are collector enthusiasts, have a good quarterly
newsletter and keep an eye on prices so that the insurance can be raised
as market conditions dictate. They've increased my stated value twice
without me asking.
