RE: alternatives to Hagerty Classic Insurance?

["Keith, Michael S" <Michael.Keith@domain.elided>]

Grundy insured an '86 Spider I used to own.  I went with them after Hagerty
gave me the same sort of grief that they gave you.  Grundy took my Spider
with no problem.  I just sent them a few pictures.  Theirs is an agreed
value policy.  It doesn't have mileage limits, but it does have usage
restrictions.  Their web site is www.grundy.com

Subject: alternatives to Hagerty Classic Insurance?

Hi Group:

I had a rather disheartening conversation yesterday with an underwriter at 
Hagerty Classic Insurance, of course, regarding my 2 Alfa Spider's.  I'm in 
my second year of coverage for my '74 Spider and wanted to add the '87 
(purchased by me in November) to the policy.  Before I bought the '87 I 
called Hagerty and asked about coverage and was initially turned down, on 
the basis of its being newer than an '83, which is their cutoff.  My point 
then was that just about any year Spider is a Spider, and they're almost 
identical cars, except for the obvious intake/exhaust/bumper/trim 
differences.  The agent agreed, and asked me to send pictures of the two 
cars side by side, to support my argument for the underwriter, who would 
then allow the exception.  Long story short, they won't take the '87 
Spider, and made some additional disparaging comments about Spider's in 
general.
