Thread: Insurance for modified import?

Tried Lumleys ? Or Shannons ?

Shannons will no doubt give quite a high quote, based on the ones I got from them but they will at least insure oddball cars. A V8 90 isn't exactly a complete oddity over here from what I've seen.

I use Australian 4wd insurance through DGA brokers. Everything is declared. its an import, and a commercial so not avaialble here. no drama. covered everywhere, including, and its written in the policy, 'making my own tracks'

DGA Insurance Brokers

Thanks for that, I have gone to them for a quote now also. Ball park, how much are you paying, if you dont mind me asking? Is that agreed value (i guess it has to be as there isnt really a market value to look up)?

I have been slack not sorting it before now.

On my last defender, i called up to get house insurance and, whilst on the line got a quote for fully comp car insurance, agreed value. Decided I would try a few other places for a price but they gave me a 30 day cover note and if i didnt do anything, it would expire.
Anyway, 6 days later I did this:



They wrote the old girl off and I got paid out in full! Safe to say i went out and bought a lotto ticket that weekend, unfortunately i think i had already used up all of my luck!

I can't remember what its insured for value wise without looking, but the premium is around $1100 from memory.

Mine's with Lumley Specialist Vehicles. Agreed value, import, all extras listed, covered for any road / legal track in australia.

Shannons wouldn't touch mine with the proverbial barge pole
