Stag Value (for insurance)

["Dejong, Paul" <Paul.Dejong@domain.elided>]

Hi all,

I had a discussion with the guy (as....le) from the insurance who had to
make a taxation report on my Stag.
He valued it rather low because he thought it wasn't that special as more
than 25000 were made.
So I told him that in the Netherlands the value of this particular car
should be much higher since only 6000 or so LHD's were made. Furthermore I
think most Dutch people prefer a manual OD over the auto. It also has
instruments calibrated on kilometers and being a pre '74 Stag it is
constructed out of the better quality steel than later Stag's which seems
preferably too in my opinion.
The number of 6000 LHD's I mentioned might however be optimistic since I
assumed all export cars were LHD. Does anybody know how many LHD Stags
manual OD pre '74 with kilometer instrumentation are produced?

Many thanks for all your responds

P.S. I managed to convince the man to increase value from HFL 22000 ($10500)
to 27500 ($12900) which is still rather low I think considering its near
perfect condition.
