Ferrari Mailing List: Re: [M3] Reply from State Farm as regards Classic M3 coverage:Fw: Classic BMW

Tom:

It was Mark Williams who commented about receiving a letter from  
underwriting describing Classic Car Insurance.  I am sure that he will  
chime in again.

I pulled my State Farm policy.  I have Endorsement number 6171AH.1  
named "Antique or Classic Motor Vehicle".  I can drive it on weekends.   
There is some risk in driving it to work.

This is really odd.  My car is highly modified with a welded cage,  
Recaro seats, no interior, race suspension, etc.  All of this I  
disclosed on the form to State Farm.   They also ask what percentage of  
the car's time will be used for "club or pleasure activities"  I  
answered 90% but explained that it would be on the track.  I took two  
pictures, one from the 3/4 front view and one of the engine, filled the  
form out and had insurance that day.  Underwriting gave it the approval  
a few days later.

With Best Regards,
-Sean Leuba
