My personal view on insurance Paul, is only do the minimum. They will charge you more for higher risk. I Usually make it more or less what it stands me at. Some companies can be very funny about high values. For example, my RHD Delores, I had to get me and Dave to write in, just to justify a modest value of 19K! Things are different in the republic, even tougher I believe. On a slightly different note, you no how you list all the bits done to your car? Well a lot of people do this when they try and sell them, personally I think this is a big mistake. Folk read a huge list and think "B***** hell", if its needed all this lot doing to it, just think what extra I might have to pay! Its negative. People expect that when they buy a car, it WILL work, and if they don't they will be worried. It doesn't really matter if its got a good working old bit or a brand new one. OK with my Frenchy, I'm stating that its got a brand new engine, cos it has, but I will make it very clear to anybody that the engines are normally very reliable. Its just mine was running through turbo-charging. I prefer to keep thing vague, say all of the necessary upgrades have been done, its all running and Mot'd and leave it at that. I think Andrews eBay advert was spot on, its tell you loads, informs potential customers, puts them at ease, people who may know absolutely nothing about DeLorean cars. This is what our club and website is all about, dispelling the myths, making folk appreciate what is a damn fine car.
