H-zulassung - und jetzt kfz versicherung! :-)

[Redrocket]

I'm sure this question is all over the German internet, how-ever the translations are not great!

Can someone please explain in basics why I would need a H-zulassung, cheaper tax? easier emissions test? or anything else?

Also, how original does the car have to be? eventually I would like to change some things on the car, like a little lower to the ground -20 or -40mm, some better brakes, different wheels than original, probably superlites. Is it possible to to get a H-zulassung with these changes?

Danke!

... cheaper tax? easier emissions test? ...

These are the exact reasons.

... Also, how original does the car have to be? ...

All important assemblies have to be nearly 100 % original. Only contemporary changes are allowed. Here is the complete catalog of the general requirements for H-Zulassung ... unfortunally in German.

No ... as I wrote before: Only contemporary changes are allowed.

I thought I saw some cars modified with H-zulassung? Must have been my imagination! So I guess I need to skip H-zulassung to make the changes I want..? Or can I get the H-zulassung with car completely original, and then change it afterwards, only if it's legal of course?

If I think about it, modifications could all be considered "contemporary modifications", as people lowered their cars in the 70s, and put bigger brakes on etc?? Ideas about that?

I have two motorcycles with the h-zulassung and i know to get one with a non original car/cycle is the same problem like it is with all other changes, wich have to be checked and listet by the dekra/tüv. If the Testing-Ing have his lucky day, you'll get everything you want - if his favorit soccerteam lost the day bevor he will find more than thousand reasons for not giving your vehicle the h-zulassung. Try it... If your vehicle is old enough they even don't know whats original or not.

anyone know my best options for insurance??

the problem is that, I dont drive a normal "everyday car" or I think "Alltagsfahrzeug". and because of this I am finding it hard to get an oldtimer policy.

Firstly, many companys wont insure a car over 30 years of age, it is too old.
Secnodly, many companys wont insure an oldtimer without having a full time car.

I did get two quotes so far, 1200 from Allianz, and 900 from ADAC for the year fully covered, or "full damage" is that they called it.

I am 28/male/full license/2 years no claims in Ireland

Anyhow, On Monday I guess I will just have to pay up 900 euros for insurance

My Capri is insured by OCC. (168Eu/a)

This is a special Oldtimer Insurance...

But what you maybe have to know to understand where the problem is.

An H-Registred Vehicle is classified as a Historical Show objekt, and not legalized for normal daily use, this does not fit in the meaning of a historical cultural asset.

You do not get an attractive price because your vehicle is maybe so nice... you get it to ensure/improve or enrich a part of a history.

And this is the logical reason why they want you to have a dailydriver...

The most Oldtimer insurances also want to see a rating of this vehicle (OCC every two years) the vehicles has to be in min normal conditions...
