INSURANCE
Many insurance companies will allow you to add your
replica to
your present
policy. If not, there are a number of insurance agencies specializing
in
replicas. Look in issues of Kit Car Illustrated, Specialty Cars and
related
magazines for the latest offerings, plus search "insurance" in
ClubCobra.com
and
ffcars.com.
When dealing with
an insurance agent, say replica, not kit car. Some of them can't
translate.
If you use a specialty insurer, there may be some restrictions
to
your use and the yearly mileage allowed. The cost, however, is usually
quite
reasonable. Some insurers will grant you a significant discount if your
car
has an on-board fire extinguisher in the engine compartment.
The list that follows is not necessarily current,
but most companies are
active.
