How can the premiums on a 1991 GSi be any more than on a 2001 Astra ?

Its historically significant.

Its historically significant.

Correct, but can his lawyer argue that point?

Well there is a 1991 post count thread relating to its historical significance.

 

[Rouxenator]

Well yes, there is that of course, but here is the thing I can't get my dumb head around.

When you go and trade in your car they offer you what is called book value. It is simple, for every car there is a value to offer based on year or mileage - which ever is lower. You typically insure your car for book value. How can that be more than R222 as was the case with my car?

I thought it would be obvious.

Its historically significant, therefore its a higher theft risk, especially since it can drive to JHB and back with the aircon on literally.

maybe your dumb head will grasp this, you came to the conclusion I was driving a specific car, without me actually confirming it, then you accepted it as fact and now you just going on as if you know what car I was driving.

So it was the E30 ?!

 

[Quantum Theory]

So it was the E30 ?!

He does not just have 2 cars. He's got 5... All paid off.

The car that was written off today with pump fuel & methanol makes well over 250kw/370nm on the wheels, with AVGAS & methanol 350kw/450nm reliably.

In a car that weighs a ton.

Well from that quote as well.. its sounds like a heavily modified car, so it wouldn't have been roadworthy according to the laws in this country...

That puts an intriguing spin on things doesn't it?

My guess is E36 M3...

It still does not give us any idea of what car it is!!

For that mater it might as well be this car :

• 1987 convertible drop top
• Push to start ignition (no keys)
• Suede interior
• Car looks "unapproachable"
• When you put the pedal once, it makes the floor shake
• When you pull out of a parking lot its "stuntin"
• Its painted Black and yellow
• The "n-ggas" are scared of it but the "hoes" ain't

 

[ToxicBunny]

My guess is E36 M3...

But that car would be worth insuring though...

Anyone know if the spare petrol tank was damaged?

 

[ToxicBunny]

Anyone know if the spare petrol tank was damaged?

I would guess it was probably crumpled...

Its a pity though, since its such a rare part these days.

 

[Rouxenator]

Did the E36 have a spare petrol tank like the E30?

 

[Quantum Theory]

Actually, I'm probably wrong...

 

[Rouxenator]

Does not seem like it.

 

[ToxicBunny]

Actually, I'm probably wrong...

I'm thinking you are, based on the valuation of pretty much any E36 M3 I've seen recently. Granted, they won't sell for what the OP thinks they will, but they're still worth insuring.
