Dear Don, I've attempted to "enter a quote" at the insurance company that you mentioned but it seems to be inactive and I keep getting "inactive" and/or "timed out" error messages on it. Also, this is insurance for classic cars used on a very limited basis. Therefore, if you or any additional members can further assist me with insurance for a 1970 Marcos GT I would appreciate it very much. I really doubt that every Marcos owner in the U.S. only use their cars for special events although I may be wrong! With best regards, Svelte

I'm not in the US and don't know how many owners are sole car owners, but in the UK an effective way to insurance a Marcos as your only car for year round use is via the insurers who provide cover for kit cars. You might find that a better approach if you need full, year round, unlimited mileage cover.

hello group,
when i have insured my "summer" cars i have used a company up here
in canada called "silver wheels" they insure strictly street rods and
special interest vehicles, the premium is based on an appraised value,
which we all should have for insurance claim purposes.
try contacting www.lant-ins.ca
cheers dave #5577

Hi Svelte,
Like Dave Barton, I live just outside Toronto in Canada. My 3 litre Volvo
Marcos is insured by the same company that insures my other cars. I'm fully
covered for unlimited use for around CAN$80 per month. I only have the car
on the road from mid April through November, after which it is on winter
layup at around CAN$10 per month for a total cost of just over CAN$600/year.
Unfortunately my insurance company only operates in Canada but at least you
have an idea of costs. This year they requested that I supply a new
appraisal, including photos, after which my rate went up from around CAN$65
last year but it's still cheaper than my regular car so I'm not complaining.
Regards,
Paul Dransfield

Svelte I have my 1971 insured under a general use third car program with Farmers. The special use polices that Don has have a huge $$$ savings. I would look at all the options, but make sure the company understands the HP of the car, you don't want the Vett (high HP) or race car rate. Stephen 2T5916
