When insuring these cars it is important to consider "market value"
With an ordinary type of policy even a minor prang might result in the car being written off, as the "market value " of the car may be a lot less than what you paid for it, or what you may consider your pride and joy to be worth
With a "classic car" policy you agree the value called "agreed value" with the insurer.
Thus a low mileage 9 year old 260 in good condition might have an agreed value of £6/7/8 K but the market value might be £2/3 K or less
