Modified classics are not only a slice of history, they’re also beloved treasures that have hours upon hours invested into them. At Keith Michaels, we’re all fellow car enthusiasts like you, from the modified to the prestige. This means that we truly understand what it’s like to be a specialist car owner, from the hours spent detailing, to sourcing those hard-to-find parts to fix a problem.
We’ve been arranging specialist insurance for over 30 years now, and are well respected in many car communities, including Japanese classic cars.
Agreed Value Policies Available for Modified Classics
We understand that the true value of your car is not always reflected when you’ve invested love and care into modifying your classic car, which is why agreed value policies are often preferred. This ensures that in the event of an accident, you’re compensated for the agreed, actual value of your car, not the determined value.
Show Car Insurance for your Modified Classic
If you’ve invested this much time and money into your car, you’re going to want to show it off. We can arrange cover for this too, for that additional bit of protection.
What Modifications Can We Cover on your Classic Car?
We can cover all manner of modifications, from simple cosmetic changes like wraps, to more advanced modifications like engine remaps, uprated brakes and body kits. Read our car modifications guide to learn more about the modifications we can cover.
From kit cars and classic electric conversions to remapped classics, we’re able to not only provide insurance, but be competitive in our pricing and benefits. This means that you’re not paying through the roof for a specialist policy like you would from a high street insurer.
