FWIW, I also spoke to American Collector and they have the same usage restriction. They do, however, have an 'extended' policy that will allow the car to be used for backup duties, but the quote I was given for that policy was $964/year!

Wow! I work in insurance so I was listening closely to that Grundy guy. He must've really misrepresented his company. They spent a good amount of time on that show talking about his company and how different it was from every other collector car company, in specific their relaxed attitude toward vehicle usage. That's disappointing. Sorry for the goose chase.
