Guest touringteg Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Why is mileage approximate? Mix of km and miles? Also what year is it? A 1993 may be worth more since it will be eligible for import to USA in 2018. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downimpact Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 it's a '94, I can't remember what mileage it's on, the first x amount was in km and then converted to miles. I'd have to dig it out, I only need a rough approximation. Prices seem to be all over the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 That's a beauty bud I can't help with the valuation other than take what you have previously been supplying as the valuation, and double it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I just insured my 96 with similar distance covered for £24k on agreed value. That's what TT6 imports from Japan are costing these days. Insurance should always be the replacement cost, not the actual retail value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blythmrk Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 What value did you have it down as last year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downimpact Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 eek, I just moved it from £10k to £12k value and they said it was £20 more on the insurance, so I thought I'd check then I've seen crazy numbers being banded about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I'll buy it for £12k, will tomorrow be soon enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blythmrk Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I thought 18-20k for insurance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downimpact Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 thanks guys, this is going to really load my premium then, was only £178 until I started messing with the value. No thanks on the £12k offer it's never for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uzzyuzzy Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 is that the original paint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 is that the original paint? I think the original trophy blue was a 60's GM creation. Looking at the engine bay I'd guess the original colour was silver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonR24 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 No less than 20k for insurance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downimpact Posted April 27, 2017 Author Share Posted April 27, 2017 Yeah it's a rover colour, originally white as per garage pics. Went for £18k in the end as even that seems high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
