My thinking is this, I've invested copious amounts of hard earned into Damien which the market value doesn't really reflect these days, I've got the option now to take out an agreed value, which I am going to do but with a car like mine I'm struggling to come up with a realistic value to insure it at. Obviously the car has had a fair number of general wear and tear things replaced which you can't really argue additional value on like the steering rack but what about taking into consideration the rarity of the car and the mods which have improved the car?
So I made a list of main the things that have been done which in theory have improved, some have little monetary value and some have a fair value.
