I was wondering regarding Dawes Insurance.....is that a standard policy thing for Dawes Insurance to pay you out in full and also give you the damaged car back for free as well as part of its policy arrangements etc...or did they deduct its damaged value from the payout and I'm reading your comments incorrectly?

I'm about to renew my policy so am going to ring them but just wondered if this was just a special condition on your policy or something I need to ask specifically about?

Any feedback is helpful. Thanks Soul.

Hi Spookypt,

About 20 years ago I got onto Dawes, once someone from their company sited the car they valued it for 120 k ! Perhaps better times?

Early in year when this happened, I just thought that Dawes would repair the car!

To my surprise I was told that they would pay me out and I would keep the car

They also supplied a letter stating that the car was not a write off!,

Cannot recommend them enough! All was settled witching 30 days.

But my car was imported as a 68! 22 years ago or so.

As a CSX chassis air car with 68 title.

The 65 Kirkham is insured with them too.

When they sited the Kirkham they personalised the Policy to reflect the exact replacement value including all the head aches involved , a happy result from my end!

It makes me laugh how some people on this forum feel the urge to prove what the car is,

The car is what it is, just a unique title attached to it!



I guess the whole Cobra thing has been so compromised with various claims of authenticity .



Good luck, if you need any more info let me know....

Although currently on a Greek island in the Aegean, the series of pigeons that is WiFi when not at the coffee shop , I get to retrieve info from the real world!

Best,

Soul.
