If ever I was a registrar doing valuations ALL owners can have whatever valuation they like
BUT
They have got to provide evidence on how they calculated their valuation - this would take the guise of a shopping list with current prices and estimates for items required to reinstate the vehicle in the event of a claim. Also "dated" photographic evidence to back up current condition will be required.
Insurance policies are only to reinstate a vehicle to a condition considered "pre-claim" and not to build a bigger or better specced vehicle after a claim.
I have had 5+ years dealing with insurance companies and Insurance engineers and I can assure anyone that if no "pre-claim" evidence is available that substantiates a valuation then regardless of policy value an owner will struggle to get anywhere near the "agreed value" figure in the event of a total loss.
What people must consider is an RSOC valuation is for Insurance purposes only and is NOT an indication of how much a vehicle is commercially worth.
If for example an owner wants a £20k valuation on an RS2000 then only their insurance policy payment will be based on that figure.
When said car is up for sale it may only achieve £10k as a buyer will only pay what they want at the end of the day.Last edited by RS2000CUSTOM; 05-10-2008, 14:02.

What about cars like worthers and the amber car, one with receipts for over £40K, albeit labour as well, would you value them at that dave.
Also modified cars imo are easier to value than a standard or an original car
is this thread been hijacked now
