Why would you want to keep your regular insurance company for a collector vehicle? The collector's insurance is much cheaper and provides full agreed upon value which would cover the car fully. Regular insurance would need an appraisal to insure the car for agreed value otherwise it would be covered as a 26 year old car which would be worth $1 after depreciation. You can't drive a collector car to work or to the store to pick up milk, it has to be a show or club related function. So if you really want to drive it any time you want, get it appraised, put it on your regular insurance but make sure that they agree with you on current value and then get regular plates and hope it passes inspection. The QQ plates cost $44 for a 3 year registration vs the normal $75 a year for regular plates.
