Leland-West Dropping Collector Car Ins.
Since 2005 I have had my '95 C2 Carrera insured with this company. Also 2 other fully restored VWs. Been very happy with them with only 1 claim years ago. Just got a notice of Nonrenewal of Insurance by XL Speciality Insurance Company which they work with. Reason stated is they are no longer writing personal automobile insurance. Wondering if this has something to do with living in Washington State? Anybody else having this happen? What to do now? Any classic car insurance ideas out there? These cars are all driven under 3,000 miles per year.

Do you have limitations on where you can drive with State Farm? What state? Is this considered “collector car” insurance. I have my 4 vehicles with SF in Florida. The collector car policy with guaranteed value is very limited on usage with my agent.

Every time I try to look up State Farm agreed value it points to their classic insurance, which is limited use :
- Your antique or classic car must be used on a very limited basis, such as infrequent pleasure driving, shows, exhibitions, club activities or parades. It can’t be your primary use vehicle

Leyland-West had a long direct "relationship" with PCA, as their go-to insurance provider? Why isn't PCNA stepping up and in?
For those in the 7-states where it's offered, or was, check Porsche Auto Insurance. Terrific coverage and rates.

you should look into Grundy. I live in Washington state as well, and pay roughly $700 a year for a valuation on $70k on the 993, $25K on the R32 skyline, and $4K on the motor cycle. all agreed value.
