So who does agreed value insurance on 16 year old masers, I was told mine was still too new!
Dave
A-Plan agreed value on mine last couple of years.
Dave you agreed value on yours for sure!

As the other party have admitted liability should I not be in the position of being at least no worse off after the crash than before which I would have thought should mean the insurers should be reimbursing at least enough to buy a replacement 3200 if not an Assetto Corsa?
Absolutely right, the third party's insurance company need to get you a new AC or compensate you adequately.
Needamaser: Agreed. Might be time to move to the Third Party's company

Thanks everybody for your comments and support, its one of the best things about being a Maserati owner, feeling part of this community and I will really miss it. Several comments have been posted suggesting I should be going through the third party's insurance company. How do I organise that and is it too late as Esure(my own insurers)have already become so involved? From what's been suggested it sounds as if I'd be likely to get a more representative offer made by the third party insurers than my own. The engineer who valued the car wasn't too impressed when I cited the prices from Autotrader and Piston heads for equivalent 3200s and even less so when made aware of the assetto corsa values stating they don't take adverts into consideration as they cannot verify the prices the cars actually sell for from these. Dickie, your message detailing the sale prices of those 5 assetto corsas will prove really helpful in countering that arguement so thank you very much. A number of comments have been posted regarding the hire car. They did actually offer me something more in keeping with the Maser but there was going to be a significant delay getting it. The Maserati is my daily drive so I needed some wheels pretty quickly to get me to work and consequently accepted their offer for a 2 litre replacement car. The next day the insignia turned up and actually although ugly as sin and massive to park its fine as a temporary beast of burden. The major irony which I havent mentioned is that the driver of the Volvo which hit me is actually my best friend from my medical school days ! We were in convoy driving back from the hospital when he plowed into the back of me. I suspect our friendship will survive better than the car! Thank you all for taking the time to reply, it's good to have your collective take on this and I'm grateful for the wise counsel given! I'll keep you posted as events unfold
