My friend in Canada complains that Canadian BC (www.icbc.com) states that a collector vehicle has to be 25 years old and in mint stock condition or 15 years old and that manufacturer has not produced that model for at least 5 years, which he feels should be applied to most all ZR-1s., not so according to the administrator, she says they still build Corvettes.
The model refers to Corvette not ZR1. The ZR1 is in catagory #1 which is the highest catagory with the super hi performance vehicles, in contrast something like a Civic is catagory #4. This costs Canadian ZR-1 owners $1500/yr more than it would be if it qualified for collector class insurance
Canadians have nothing like our collector car Insurance
Is this unique to BC or all Canadian provinces ?
I told him not to move south of the border; we'll soon have Canadian style Med insurance and probably will get Canadian style auto insureance if it'll give our Gov more tax $$ and control of our lives
