Car Insurance (Imported Vehicle)
Well it seemed to make sense at the time! We have brought our Isuzu pickup over from the UK - we didn't need to bring much 'stuff' & the deal was that anything that we could fit inside the vehicle could come for free - we bought the pickup from new & it wouldn't fetch much in the UK, so for the money it cost to ship over here it seemed worth doing. However, we're now finding it really difficult to insure, nobody recognises it as a make/model on their system & I was wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences & found a company that's been wiling to help?
Thanks for reading

After one year they said they don't insure imports. Anyway when the automatic renewal was due a year later we just carried on. They seemed to have forgotten.

I run a Car Club that has an Australian counterpart. The car is a Japanese Grey import called a Mitsubishi FTO, and the members on there manage to get them insured fairly easily.
Maybe go onto that forum and have a look around .... here's the insurance section which might give you some pointers
