Following an accident the other driver's insurer is sending an independent assessor to value my lightweight because their own chap reckoned it at less than the £7,700 repair bill, and so wanted to write it off. I had agreed value of £10k on it when I bought it, (and forgot to increase it after the full new chassis and rebuild).
Just in case this assessor is hard of thinking the repairer has suggested that I provide him with some evidence that he'll wave under the assessor's nose.
I'm doing eBay, but if anyone can point me at any valuations that would support a '£10k or over' figure I'd be very grateful.
(Mine is 1980, petrol, everything completely rebuilt with genuine or oem parts two years ago onto a new Richards chassis, new soft top, the only thing not done was the bodywork because it was all straight and nicely faded).
