Classic Cars Qatar And Dubai

One of the major reasons driving the classic cars market in Dubai Qatar and the region is homesickness. Richard Murphy a British Citizen that lives in Dubai is enthusiastic about classic car. Richard was motivated to acquire a wreck of an Austin Healey 100M so that he would own a rare piece of British automotive history. The flashy modern cars that flourish Dubai do not catch his attention.

When asked he said “This is the genuine article” proud of his gleaming thoroughly restored vehicle. It was easy to figure out the amount of obsession he has for the car. Only 600 were manufactured out of only a little over hundred still exist in 2007. Displaying the certificate Richard Murphy said “It has been certified by the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust as a factorymade Healey 100M and it also has the Le Mans Registry Certificate of membership”

Further research lead to the conclusion that Qatar classic car owners may be as diverse as the vehicle models they love or own. However those owners all share a common factor Attitude. There is three different types of attitudes noticed among the owners. The most common attitude is pride for their cars as they will present their belongings or wealth as some look at it in the region on their house driveway for those who pass by to stare or ogle at but the most the owners are willing to do is allow the passing by to touch these cars. On the other hand there is those that hide their loved vehicles even as they brag about them.

And the third type is those who treat the cars very casually. Joerg Grunwald a resident of Dubai the ownership and the privilege of driving classic cars is a way of life. The word popping up most in his sentences is classic. “You should visit Munich” he said of the native of the Bavarian city. He continued by saying “It’s a beautiful place with many old and wellpreserved buildings: classic! His love for classic cars leads him to use his driveway to display his shining red 1964 Mercedes Benz 230 SL and a 1965 Triumph TR4.

The research journey has not stopped rather the more research I make the more I am interested to learn about the differences in tastes and markets. I will dedicate an article for the amazing finding in the market differences.

Classic Car Insurance For Motorists

The following article will give classic vintage car buffs the low down on the actual differences that exist between classic car insurance and standard auto insurance. If you love and own classic cars and are busy looking for the best insurance deals available this article not only gives you the right information you need but also busts a few popular myths regarding classic car insurance as compared to standard auto insurance.

Many owners of vintage vehicles assume that the only way to insure their collector car is to put it into the family auto policy. That’s not true. The only policy that properly insures the investment car buffs have made on their prized classic car is the classic car insurance policy.

Classic car insurance is less expensive than standard auto insurance but these companies require you to fulfil a few necessary criteria before you can qualify for their programs and get those great deals and low rates. Here are some of the primary restrictions vintage car owners have to face:

Before you get that good rate on your insurance coverage the insurance companies will want to know the age of the driver as many companies require you to meet a certain driver’sage restrictions the mileage of your car there may be mileage restrictions to meet also vehicle age qualifications and housing and garage provisions.

In many cases insurance policies for classic car insurance and those for standard auto insurance can differ a lot. Most standard auto insurance policies will insure the vehicle for its current price subtracting depreciation. What this means is that with an increase in the age and usage of the car its value will decrease. But this is not the case with a vintage vehicle. For this its value will increase over time provided the collector maintains his vehicle well. This is due to the fact that collectors truly treasure their precious collectible autos. They are not used for similar purposes as dailyuse cars and are not driven very often.

To provide the necessary coverage in such a situation classic car insurance providers usually offer an “Agreed Value Coverage”. This essentially means that you the insured and the classic car insurance agent will agree upon the value of your vehicle up front. Such a vehicle valuation will give the full market value of the classic car as stated on the policy and factor in appreciation to the value in a time of loss.

There may also be some carriers that will offer low or no deductibles for comprehensive and collision coverage. Many times they will also provide coverage for spare parts or accessories that are not on or in your classic car. You won’t get that kind of coverage on your family auto policy.

As you see getting a classic car insurance policy can be much more beneficial to your prized classic car than clubbing it under your general family auto policy. A vintage collectible needs to be treated specially; so why settle for the ordinary when it comes to choosing insurance?
