Most companies will not look at the 2a as it is too old to appear in their computer, so they have no idea of the value.

Could be possible for the 110, but again, limited mileage - and I do a lot of miles. It is currently insured for $6,000 with NRMA, but I expect problems with the next renewal later this year. It does help to have some leverage - they also have my farm insurance.

???? Since when. I have obtained quotes from shannons several times for daily use vehicles. You just need to prove to them you fit their criteria as an "enthusiast". I didn't go with them as their quotes were always more.

My IIA has full comprehensive with suncorp. So does my father's. It is LESS than TPP+F+T. The 2 front runners when I re-registered my 110 were DGA and Suncorp.

Good luck trying to get insurance for its full value though. A guy in the Brisbane LR club has a mint county with all the bells and whistles. The insurance he was with (TCIS?) were making him get annual valuations by an indepent valuer (which wasn't exactly cheap).

I have TCIS cover on the Disco at agreed value due to all the goodies, and have not been asked to get a valuation. However, it is contingent on me remaining a member of LROCV.

Never had to claim on the policy so never really tested it out!

I have three vehicles insured with Shannons - all for business use - two Land Rovers and a high performance car - the two Rovers are agreed value and the car current market value. Shannons have been outstanding, their pricing very competitive - three vehicles insured for a smaller premium than a major competitor would charge to insure the car.

PS Was that your very tidy at Bristish Off Road a few weeks ago OLR?

I got a quote from Shannons a couple of weeks ago as mine is currently insured for market value of upto $6000. Shannons insured for private use. They would insure for ageed value of about $16000 for my 1989 perentie/county. Insurance was only on gazetted roads (includes vehicle access beaches).

I was looking at a higher agreed value as vehicles similar have sold for a lot more. They suggested FWD Insurance.

I must admit I have not tried Shannons with the 110, but got a definite no from them on the 2a. Last year I was reasonably happy with NRMA for the 110, but as mentioned above, I expect a ridiculously low amount come next renewal.

I can't remember whether I tried Suncorp last year, but I did go round most of them.

I had one go round of trying to get a quote from Shannon's for the Defender.

Not a enthusiasts car, they said.

At the time they were insuring my wife's Subaru Liberty.

Because she'd overlapped insurance on her Datsun 510 with the insurance on the Liberty.

So, just go out and buy a 510 and Shannon's will be happy to sell you insurance.
