About our kit & replica car insurance
Your kit or replica car represents countless hours of dedication, whether you built it yourself or bought it complete. It’s something unique, a vehicle that turns heads and sparks conversations wherever you park it.
But finding insurance that reflects the true value of your vehicle can feel impossible. Many insurers don’t understand what you’ve put into your car, so treat it like any other vehicle.
At Abbeyfields Insurance, we specialise in arranging tailored cover for kit and replica vehicles of all ages and styles. With decades of experience in the specialist car insurance market, we make it simple to protect your car with cover built around how you use it.
Why your kit or replica car needs specialist insurance
Kit and replica cars come in all shapes and sizes, which is why you need insurance from someone who understands how individual these vehicles can be.
You might take your car to club meets, attend specialist events, enjoy weekend drives or keep it as a long‑term working project in your garage. However you use it, your insurance should support your experience, not restrict it.
At Abbeyfields, we can arrange personalised cover that reflects the unique nature of your kit or replica car. We’ll take the time to understand how your vehicle is put together, how it’s stored and how you plan to use it. Whatever your situation, we can help ensure your car is protected against accidents, loss or damage, so you can focus on enjoying it.
What our kit & replica car insurance includes
At Abbeyfields, we understand the passion and commitment that comes with owning and maintaining a kit or replica car. Whether you own a Dutton Phaeton, Westfield 11, Nova, Spartan, Quantum or Lomax, we can help you protect it. Your kit or replica insurance policy can include:
- Limited mileage discount
- Owners/enthusiasts club member discount
- Optional motor legal expenses (up to £100,000)
- Breakdown and accident recovery
- Laid up and SORN cover
- Enhanced cover for spares and accessories
- Dedicated account manager
You can insure your kit or replica vehicle at an agreed value at no extra cost and update it whenever you need to. If it’s written off after an accident, you’ll receive that pre‑agreed settlement, minus your policy excess. And if your vehicle needs work after a claim, you can choose your own specialist repairer to ensure the right spares are used, and it’s returned to its pre‑claim condition.
