Can you give me an idea of the value for my insurance

Post by 411ron » 22nd June 2011 - 6:55pm

Just changed my insurance to Footman James and it would seem a good idea to agree a value.
So what do you think she`s worth.
Purchased by myself in Feb 1974 she had a ground up restoration 22 years ago including sandblasting the shell.
Still mostly original parts and not modified.
Condition as you can see is good and I can honestly say 99.9% rust free.

Thanks for any advice as there are so few about its hard to think of a replacement value.

I have an agreed value of £4k on my 412 so something around that figure, possibly a bit more due to the condition of yours

Yes thanks,
I was thinking 8-10k as noboby would want to sell a good one and with only about 15-20 of this model left to get a tatty one up to this condition (a good respray is 4-5k now) + any parts if you can get them.
I was offered 6k last year but I`ve done a lot of work on it since.

Thanks for the advice and any more comments are helpful.

I'd like to compliment you on still having those genuine VW optional wheel trims. There was a Beetle local to me about 30 years ago with those and I've not seen a car with them since!

I have my 412 2 door saloon insured with FJ for £5K, but this is looking a bit low compared with other figures quoted here.

Might have to increase the value of mine by the sounds of it...
