Insuring a Euro car - running into some problems in Oklahoma
Still thinking about the Euro 280SL, but another concern is my insurance company. I can insure it as a classic, but I really can't do that honestly since I plan on driving the car to work, etc. My insurance company (Farmer's) can't find the VIN and so they can't insure it. I have found a lot of companies that will insure it as a "Classic", but what do you do if you plan on regularly driving a Euro?
My agent can insure it as a 380SL (liability only), but he is concerned that it might cause problems at the tag agency - the VIN numbers will match but the title will probably specify a 280SL and the insurance documents a 380SL. Anyone else ran into this? Other suggestions for companies? ryan

I'm fairly certain that some of the Classic Insurance guys will insure regardless of miles driven yearly. Have you called and asked a few of the biggies? It'd be worth it.

My insurance company had a similar "computer moment" with my gray market 2.3-16 with the non-US VIN. It took them about a week to sort it out, but in the meantime they had issued me insurance and a temporary card while they worked it out.

No problem here in Florida. State Farm are probably used to grey market vehicles here though.

I work for Farmers, and we have no problems insuring Euro Cars....
What is their problem? Vin too short?
