Surely the purpose of retaining salvage rights is to retain control of a historic or classic vehicle which may contain irreplaceable parts that could otherwise go for scrap. Whereas it may give the opportunity for a cash windfall, I do not think it is the intention of the provision in the policy.

Quite possibly... but then again.. TBH. very few Mogs fall into that catagory.

....not at a year old, anyway!
Thanks for all the advice!
Think I'll decline that particular offer, but take up the 'Morgan Rescue' breakdown & recovery for £24.15 - includes Europe. Total cost £336.01 for unlimited mileage (Headley Insurance Services t/a Morgan Insurance Consultants).
Agreed value @ £35k....

Paul rightly recognises that at one year old his car is little different from a car coming off the production line. However the owner of a Plus 8 may not consider a Roadster to be a worthy replacement and would prefer to re-build. The Insurance Company may deem the car to be an economic write-off whereas the Owner will use a different set of values when making the decision. Recent posts on this forum indicate that some prefer Series 1 Aero 8's over later models. That being so salvage rights would be of value, particularly if you have the skills of Yuri.

In the case of a salvaged car it is my belief that you would be best to make a rebuild decision based on facts rather than emotional attachment. There are a few p&js that have been put back on the road after cataclysmic damage and are a shadow of their former selves. It is, without a shadow of doubt, a head v head decision in many cases. Once I hope none of us have to decide upon for ourselves.
