Hagerty used to have kit insurance and trailer contents insurance but I guess that is no longer around? Once the kit is at home, you should itemize it on your home contents policy, just like any individual valuable item (jewellry, watches, antiques, etc). I know for certain that the Chubb Insurance Masterpiece personal lines product will do that. For the transport home, ask your broker about cargo insurance. Cargo does not need to be in a truck to be covered. The issue is that it may be too small a value to justify anyone doing it. But I would have thought any good broker would have something standardized on the shelf that would work.

Ask to see the policy wordings. Some of the classic car policies have garage restrictions (e.g. type of construction, locks, etc) which you need to meet. Hagerty usually has the most flexible wordings.

Oh dear, I seem to have made some comments which were unappreciated for their location? I will move the tire related content when (a) this thread has petered out and (b) I am good and ready and not when someone is doing the forum equivalent of yelling (i.e. all caps). I type up variations of this tire commentary every two or three years so its easy enough to find with the search function if someone else needs it. No urgency - it can wait.

Congratulations on your acquisition. Its not surprising you have to do some work to make the Birkin meet your needs. They all do for some reason. A lot of people just never get around to dialing cars in. I assume you will be mostly road use with forays into autoX and track?

I have had multiple Caterhams with the roller barrel set up but they were all built from new. There is nothing better that I know of for a Caterham. Sound is epic. Instructions for RBTB can be found in here: Set up supplement is here Some recent installation perspectives - start at Ralph's post on November 15, 2023. You will have to cut the bonnet - that is probably more scary than the engine upgrade. Also you are going to have to reflash the ECU with a new tune. Investigating how that will need to happen is important as the down time (i.e. car not operating) could be significant. It may be better (albeit expensive) to buy an unlocked ECU, with a base tune and then tune it locally.

@theDreamer Congratulations! Bureaucracy to get the car and transfer ownership can be annoying. But its winter so by the time you finish it will be Spring and ready for you to drive!
