Need to insure my car for the 1st time so I can register it. Are there any companies that people would recommend? With regards to valuation of the car how do you come to a value? Any help appreciated. Cheers!

I did think this but just spoke with the DVLA and they sent me email with everything required and one of those things was a insurance certificateYou dont need to have the car insured to obtain the UK registration from DVLA
That’s 2 for Adrian flux so far!I’ve been with Adrian Flux for many years on modified car policies and now on a classic policy with my Z. Always sensible prices, easy to deal with and good customer service.
Last year i paid £180 and had my auto renewal through email the other day saying it had gone down to £150 for next year so even better.

I’ve filled in the v55 but just wanted to check what else I needed to send, so gave them a call and they sent me a email with what I needed to send with itLook up the V55/5 form. I didnt have to supply insurance details when I registered a car in the autumn last year.

I’ll submit it without insurance then. Did they return your original title document?I've just registered mine and no insurance was required. Only a cheque, original registration document, proof of address and proof of name.
Didn’t realise there was someone on here that did valuations, what’s the process to get a valuation from said member?I'm with Peter James Insurance, cost me 75 quid to add my 260Z to my existing classic policy with 4 other cars already on it.
You can self declare the value up to 15k I think. Over that you need to have an expert valuation. Once I've got the car I'll be getting a valuation from the chap on here.

Good idea, I might do the sameUnfortunately not. I scanned it and created a digital copy for my records. Not sure if it helped but when I submitted my v55 I included photos of all plates, vin and engine number. My car wasn't selected for inspection.

You NEVER get the US title back from DVLA - never.I've done many cars down the years and they don't send them back, so worth taking a colour copy or a scan.
