I also think how many miles you drive to be important when getting quotes
from collector or classic car insurance.  Do you drive from BC to Mex
regularly or just 300-400 miles camping 4 times a year? You can get a stated
value policy and stay within your miles for cheaper thatn traditional
insurance. Or if you are stinking rich, you don't need to insurance! Bank
the interest.
