Insurance issues.

[maca223]

Hello all.
After advice/opinion about insurance. I have a 2000 AU2 XR8 Ute that I’ve had since new. Its in excellent condition only done 105,000ks, Tickford Enhanced, leather interior, 2.5” twin exhaust with Pacemaker headers. Engine has small amount of work done, cam & heads. Paint is perfect, no scratches or stone chips. Recently was offered $18,000 and previously knocked back offers of $12k & $15k (I’m never selling it so don’t say I should take it).

My question is who are the best insurers for cars that are worth a lot more than market value. I’m currently insured with Shannon’s but they have dropped my cover to $6,300 stating that is above market value and they won’t insure it for any more than that. They also increased the annual fee claiming it’s harder to get parts for. I have called around other insurers but as soon as you tell them it’s been modified I get told ‘sorry, we don’t insure modified cars’.

Who do people use that have older cars or modified cars?

Any advice appreciated.
