rockinroyston Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Not exactly a technical enquiry & I'm not about to go on antiques road show...Hopefully I'm going to be picking my 310 up next week now that the IV's done & I have my plate documents... however for some reason I need to get a insurance valuation for Footman James.. seems a bit strange as you can see what the price is on the Caterham website & I have my list of 'extras' clearly identified on the cost sheet of doom that I filled in when I bought the car. does the lotus 7 club offer a valuation service??? & who do I contact...

Unfortunately I don’t have the authority to agree that, despite it being brand new we would need a valuation to guarantee the value. This cannot be done by anyone who has worked on the vehicle themselves (i.e. Caterham). Though the Lotus 7 club will surely have someone qualified to fill you form in for you. Congratulations on the IVA and please ask me any questions. Kind regards,George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K7 VCT Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Can recommend Guy also, as did mine for Footman James last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockinroyston Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 Footman have been really good & were also the most cost effective of all the company's I went to. Some of the so called 'specialist insurers' were less than helpful! The valuation thing confused me tho, I could understand it if it was an old car or historical car but straight 'out of the packet 'I would have thought would be a formality. I'll give Guy a ring anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottR400D Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Seems very odd to me. When I built my car in '15 it was insured with Lloyd White. The valuation was what it cost me for the kit complete with options. They simply took my word for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon_h Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 I think this is for agreed value, not just the estimated value that becomes whatever they deem market value to be if the worst happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockinroyston Posted May 10, 2017 Author Share Posted May 10, 2017 seemed odd to me too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottR400D Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 If that's the case Simon, then why ask for an independent valuation? If the premium is based on an agreed value then one would assume they would take the owners estimate; its just an insured value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
