Matilda has been valued

[Scallops]

Folks - I've just had Shannons re-value my vehicle after her resto. She was originally insured for purchase price. They have now insured her for $15,000. :)

Happy Days. :cool:

True. :) But if something happens to her, I want to be in a position to sort it out, so to have Shannons re-value my truck was nice.

Who did the valuation?

Also with Shannons, in the case of a write off, will you get the wreck for free or do you just have first option to buy. When I was looking for insurance Shannons would only give me first option to buy not to get free. I went elsewhere and haven't regretted it.

Well - I don't know Garry - I definitely get the wreck for free, I specifically requested that when I took out the insurance. And my premium for comprehensive insurance is a massive $92.00 per annum - I'm happy! ;)

[101RRS]

I'm happy! ;)

That is what counts - happy motoring you have a great drive.

[Scallops]

Actually, I think I read in the disclosure that all policies now provide the wreck for free (with Shannons) if the vehicle is over a certain age???? Not sure though, but my policy does.

[101RRS]

You are correct - Shannons only provide free wreck retention for vehicles over 35 years of age.

hi there

Shannons are a good company for insuring our toys - all 5 of mine and only cost around $30 per month .....

But your right they become one of the family and there priceless in my eyes.

Thanks

Hi there,
I am a customer of shannons. Unfortunately I had to claim on a vehicle due to a flood. Non landrover low to the ground sports car lotus Europa. I was a little slow in contacting them due to the house damage etc. They could not be more helpful. They were more concerned about the house (that was not insured with them) and my well being than the cars. An assesor came and had a look, ticked the boxes and sent the cheque. Amazing service, light years ahead of the H.E.L.P from my house insurer. That took 2 years. Cheers John

I wish you luck with that...

I tried and failed.... "All drivers are aged 25 years or over"

Go with the normal known insurance companys once you finish your resto (At least they will insure you) they can also insure for agreed value. When you reach shannons acceptable age maybe you can re-evaluate your options... I would not bother personally.

Well, that sure puts the Mazda and the Puma in perspective.[biggrin]

Compared to most insurers, they cover a lot more 'secret men's' stuff (ie, garage equipment) as standard.

Talked to Shannons about my 2a - straight NO. It has commercial registration (primary production). In other words, it is being used for what it was designed for.

So now we know JD - you aren't really an "enthusiast" by their definitions :D

Fair enough on their part really - they specialise in insuring toys, not work vehicles. HOWEVER they do insure race cars used for racing!

I have always gotten quotes from them and find them friendly, however I have found Suncorp and DGA cheaper consistently, so have gone with them.

Same for me.... And at least the big insurance companys will insure me!

[dennisS1]

By far the best insurance company I have dealt with, yes all my S1's are with them, So is my work Defender at agreed value and much better rate than any of the so called big companies that I tried.
House contents is also with them and when last year we suffered a very high voltage power spike, frying all manner of items we just submitted a list of items and they payed up no problems.

At the Gympie swap yesterday [bit of dissapointment as no Landy stuff at all] there was a fellow offering classic car insurance etc, much like Shannons. They are called Ryno Insurance.
Anyone heard of or dealt with them?
