Hi Dan - already did and looking pretty good actually 🙂

thanks Greydog - yeah that's my worry and I guess you never find out what Admiral would pay out till you make a claim. Maybe after arguing and proving you can't source a similar car with similar condition they would pay up but I suppose 'similar condition' is a very vague thing. Thinking I'll pay the extra for agreed value policy. I'm just amazed Admiral can include 90 days free European breakdown cover for a 39 year old car - maybe they just have one guy in France with a 2CV and a tow rope Ken

Hi Folks, Am in the UK and about to buy a 40 year old M635csi. I got a quote from Hagarty for classic car limited mileage insurance at around £600 a year. This is based on it having a set agreed value so if it's a total write off or unrecovered that's what they pay you. I was surprised to find that Admiral say they can add it to my other 2 cars, with social and commuting use for me and wife, with European breakdown cover for £260! But that's not on an agreed value basis - but surely they would still have to pay out a fair amount if totalled? Any thoughts on classic Vs regular car insurance here? I kind of assumed Admiral would just not cover it as such an old car - or would be really expensive. thanks Ken

Thanks Greydog - top tip 🙂

Thanks Dave - I'll get under and have a look if going for this one - just seems like an odd thing to not have right on a car that has had a full respray and looks immaculate. Appreciate the help 🙂

Hi Folks, Just signed up as I am looking to buy a 635csi and found one for sale that looks like what I want. But the pics of the car from the side make it look like the exhaust is hanging down lower than usual. I know the back box is always very visible compared to modern cars but can someone have a peek at this pic and tell me if you reckon it looks off? Especially in front of the rear wheel where you can see daylight gap. Is it just the low camera angle? The car is a couple of hours away from me so want to get my list of things to check before going there! Thanks All
