Caporegime
As per my post in the BMW owners thread, I'm buying this next week when I'm home from Cyprus.

It's a 2000 BMW 735i, an old car which is costing me £6495, it's this price because of its condition and history and it's from a classic car dealer.

I'm not looking to debate the rights and wrongs of my choice and decision - I'm mad is the concensus im sure! , it's what I want and have scoured more e38's (from sub £1k to over £13k) over the years and this one finally fits my requirements.
What I want to know is what's my best option for getting an agreed value insurance policy for it?
I know such options exist, I had my second RS Turbo on an agreed value policy years back and when it got written off after being stolen I got a far better price than they then went for because of the agreed value based upon its pre theft condition.
I don't want a classic car policy (I think) because it'll be more or less in daily use albeit with relatively low mileage (ballpark 8k p/a at most, I have use of other cars) but I would like it to have an agreed value because it's clearly not an average car of its age and in the unfortunate event of a loss, I'd like something back that reflects this, I don't expect the full purchase price but would like some kind of agreed value.
What's my best option?
I'm in no great rush, the cars mine (deposit paid) and I'm most likely going to collect it the weekend after next - I'm organising a private plate to go onto it - suggestions appreciated, do I go with regular insurers or would a more specialist broker be my best route?
