Got a problem... When I insured my car (I'm 17) I said the value was £2750, now Adrian Flux are asking for an agreed valuation, do I state it had a restoration and that it is worth ~£4000 or will that cause issues and invalidate my insurance? Please help! Thanks

Insure it for it's correct value you should not notice a huge difference. I've been here before and under insured the value of my car then overinsured. No offence but a mini valued at £5k is peanuts to them the risk comes when 'touch wood' we crash into a Rols Royce Phantom or DB6. Insure it for it's correct value you should not notice a huge difference.

If you underinsure it you will only get back your scheduled or agreed value - basically they will only pay out as much as you say it's worth. And if you don't declare things like a nice stereo and genuine minilites etc then they won't pay out for them if they are damaged in a crash

just because you've just spend x amount on a 'restoration' doesn't intantly mean that its now worth its original valve plus whatever you've spent on it. try selling it at 4k and see and i bet you wouldn't have many takers.

Been away from home for just over two weeks so the mini's been sat in the garage. Was well surprised when the old girl fired up straight away!

Yup! Things are going well... a little too well.. haha! Preparing myself for something to kick me in the teeth. Though I do have a bad cold which is making my chest ridiculously tight so hopefully that is it!

Explain this though on your post on my project thread, your parts total was 2,000 and your labour total was 1200 how did you end up with a total spend on mini 6 grand? or is that not including the cars price?
