DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Not much wok lately ( holiday and powerboating ).

BUT.

I need a valution for insurance purposes. I've had this car insured laid up as a 911 S (75) which was the original basis. I think it may be worth a bit more now and am worried that its under-insured.

Can anyone on here help. Bertroex, Lighweight 911 and Alan uk have ventured figures based on their knowledge for which I thank them but I think something more formal would be needed?


in anticipation

Andy,


There are three sources for valuations known to me.
1. Steve Kevlin at PCGB
2. John Glynn at Impact bumpers.com. I send john a pm regarding your request
3. Our very own little DDK cherub: Bootsy

What is often needed for a valuation are

a) as much info on the base package of your car: ie the history of the 911S
b) full breakdown of the work done to it: hours and cost-per-hour, engineering drawings (those FANTASTIC blueprints you made of your brake system , raw materials or comparables of the items you changed available on the open market etc
c) comparables of finished cars offered for sale in the last 3 years
-I have been working on this so I forward some info but most are based on SWB 911 or 912's, as that was what I wanted to start with.
d) what it would cost in financial outlay at a commercial outfitters to reproduce your car. Andy might be better placed than me as he is a bit longer in the tooth than me regarding this
e) as much photographic evidence you can think off
f) nicely presented, so that valuers don't need to look left right and centre for info.


Good luck,


Bert

I think it's safe to say that you are looking at more money than a '75 911S!

You could just agree a value with your local specialist and get them to sign the form for you, that is what I did on my C3.

thanks bert , john.

I'll persue it now using my build info folders and market indicators, not many r style cars appear for sale lots of st's and rs's though. I don't anticipate problems getting proper cover for the remainder of the build period since it is effectively laid up and secure and very low risk, its when I finally finish it and have to put it on the road that bothers me.

Had some time this afternoon so detail fitted the screen clips and rear window supports before anodising.

Also trial fitted the front oil tank and established the piperuns to use. Heres a couple of snaps of the GRP fabrication which was moulded in an old tank half then fitted with a gusseted support for the oil tank and yet to be made fuel tank.




I'm putting a tank breather catch pot made of alloy in front of the oil tank.

Also started on the parcel shelf panel trimming but cocked it up

A few snaps of latest progress.

rear screen supports, front screen clips, wiper pivot trims, dash board, that pesky parcel shelf and a bit more rear brake clearance

That's going to be a hell of a cool car!

Nice bit of progress, looking good!

Any ideas when it will be on the road?

Engine work underway.







That'll be shuffle pinning , timeserts, oil pump by pass and windage work done!!!
