I have to get my 428 valued for insurance purposes.Does the club do valuations and if so could it be done with photos or does it have to be physically looked at.If it has to be looked at where would it have to go,bearing in mind it only does ten to the gallon,so I might have to sell it to be able to afford to get there.

The club stopped doing valuations quite a few years ago after some very unpleasant litigation between another owners' club and a disgruntled owner over the valuations they were (in good faith) doing.  I'm not sure who does.

Hi David
   
   The ACOC cannot give out official valuation, as it puts the onus on the club, However if you speak to 428 Registra, Andy Shepherd or Bertie either should give you a realistic valuation, obviously the vehicle needs to be viewed on thoroughly inspected, photographs hide a multitude of mysteries and horrors.
   
   Speak to other owners and check out their insurance value, rember should you have accident the insurance company will only pay out or pay for a agreed value,  Skilled craftsmen working in Aluminium is both time consuming and bloody expensive.
   
   Good Luck !!

OOOPPPSS !!  Fraus have steel bodies not ali. Should have known or at least checked before typing out reply in early hours,  Sorry but rest still stands, speak to club registra and other Frau owners, then add another few grand to ensure you are adaquately covered on total replacement value, or professional repair / rebuild.
