Been in tears last 2 days. Sent my van for a cheap spray job and it's come back damaged.

What’s the agreed value ?

 

I assume it’s not mot’d ?

 

For the bodywork - for the sake of a £20 panel and at most a days labour, to fit/fill/paint, is it worth claiming?

Check the heads/studs/mounts etc, reattach the exhaust if possible, or weld it up if needed.

Getting away from the Marmite paintwork that not excusable, the damage isn’t difficult or costly to sort.

 

It would be intetesting to see what the old Glasses Guide type of book value of a newer T2 is nowadays. They push Agreed Value nowadays, which is fine if you've invested a lot on restoration, but surely the current market values should have a bearing anyway if you look at any of the retailers nowadays, like Danbury or Brazilian Campers, you won't get one for less than £25k, more likely to be £30k.

 

Sounds right. If it’s not on a classic policy (assuming these people do pay out - I’ve always doubted it), you’d likely just get scrap value. They’d just view it as a 1970s delivery van, value £30...

 

I insured it fully comp through Volkszone, the policy is with HIC and underwritten by Zurich.
I haven't got an agreed value certificate yet as the vans not finished.

Try webuyanycar, it's hilarious

 

We talked earlier in the thread about it being in the care of a functioning business, whom should be insured.

Possibly the owners insurers are looking in to their liability commitment in that scenario....I suspect that the legal aid then sue the painter will be the route they go.

 

Sue the painter can’t help
It’s Sue the Barrister that’s needed

 

It's still going through insurance.
The underwriters have lost all the quotes and photos I sent them and to resent everything today.
This van is clearly jinxed.

That seems to be a delaying tactic, I’ve had the same on a couple of insurance claims

 

Glad it's not just me. I haven't had to make a claim in years so a bit out of touch.
Took 38 minutes on hold just to speak to someone so they could confirm their incompetence.
Bought a cheap VW T25 to get by this summer as been promising the kids camping trips for 4 years.
No taking the ******* please I know its not as pretty.
