there's a few different values.
What we buy them for.
What we'd like to sell them for.
What we value them at for insurance purposes.
Not saying that we over value our car for insurance, but if you don't have an agreed value on it, they will give you bottom book price which is peanuts.
What they never consider is the time and effort that we as the owners, put into our cars, keeping them as top notch condition as they can be.
Look at Emjays Coupe for example. When he's finished it, it will be superb and will want for nothing (apart from petrol), but if anything happened to it, you can safely say that the insurance company would probably only value it at £1000 tops yet we all know it should be worth double, if not treble that figure.
