Im 25 and valued it at £650, just what i paid for it.

When it was on the road as my only vehicle i had it at about £350 with zurich, but they wouldnt insure with all the mods, hence why i have to move insurers.

Insurers always put a high quote on low value cars as it gives the impression that its a car you don't care about, I would put the value at over a grand. Think I put my value as £4000.

I say £1250 for mine.... vaguely what it would cost to get another one and do the same things to it
The dents obviously wouldn't cost anything to replicate ;)

I know its not good mate! One of the benefits of getting older is (usually) cheaper car insurance though
