Car insurance policy with DOC

Yes they will, for example Covea Executive car insurance gives comp DoC for Insured and Spouse as standard https://www.coveainsurance.co.uk/products-and-services/high-net-worth/executivemotor/ but up to a cap of £150,000TooManyPoints said:*Edit* forgot to mention the above 3 only has 3rd party insurance coverage when driving someone else's insured car
That's standard. No insurer is going to provide comprehensive cover for a DOC extension. If they did, you could insure a ten year old Ford Fiesta, borrow a Rolls Royce or a Ferrari, write it off and your insurer would have to pay the owner its value.
Hiscox goes further and doesn't have a cap https://www.hiscox.co.uk/606home/ however to buy their Motor you need to have their HNW Home insurance which is above their normal direct proposition. Contents is a minimum of £150,000 sum insured excluding valuables; there's an equally high minimum rebuild cost but cannot remember what it is off hand.
At least one of the vehicles on the Hiscox Motor must have been over £30,000 new, other vehicles dont have to have been.0
