I'm trying to get the zed insured on a classic policy as i've already got an everyday car.

I've phoned Footman James, Performance Direct and Adrian Flux but they all say they don't insure imports! It's so frustrating as im sure there's not much difference between the uk and jap spec.

Anyone got any recommendations for other companies as it's looking like i'll never get the car on the road.

insurance is all fooked up and a lottery.

 

Loads on here are with footman james and will do imports but will not touch me??? adrian Flux are the only company that will insure me again no idea why and mine is an import so its all balls imo :biggrin:

I've always used Caroline Nash classic car insurance, limited milage but hey, i only did 1000 miles in the last two years!!!

Hi mogsy try flux again i have 91 tt import classic ins. 2000 miles a year 2nd car as i too have daily driver. Mind i am 66 years of age paying £118 per year. Not sure if age makes a difference. Good luck

Looks like i'll just have to phone a load up tomorrow. It's just a pain goin through all the information over and over again just for them to say 'is this an import? Sorry we cant insure you.' Even though i told them it was an import from the start!!!

im with elephant and before that admiral, both insure imports, and im only 22,

 

id avoid Adrian flux though, im not going into detail, i don't want to slag them off in public, as i know some of you get on with them,

im 26 so could be an age thing, thought i'd got some really good quotes until i phoned them to pay and they said no, adrian flux did offer me a policy for £5,000 though! thats after they quoted me £330 online.

it's too expensive through those companies as my no claims are on my everyday car,

Like i said its a lottey. im with flux. massively moddified and paying £700 also 26 yr :rolleyes:

im with elephant, just renewed, £750 and 22, no no claims, 2 accidents (non fault) and a total loss (theft) , light mods. import

Off work tomorrow so i'll phone around and see who's decided to insure imports this week. Thanks for your help guys.

Deffo try footman james again, I'm 29, import TT, half decent area, garaged, 204 quid, they DO insure imports, as hundreds of people on here with imports are insured by them and by all accounts, they seem to be one of the cheapest at the mo. Ask them straight away if they insure imports, and if they say no, just say, erm, can I speak to somone else, because you do insure imports....

Footman James 100% insure imports because mine is one

cheers mate, gona phone them up first tomorrow, don't know why they tell people different things.

try permormance direct said it before mine was really cheap 4000 miles limited mileage

As already mentioned, contact Dave at Footman Jones and he'll sort it for you. he's mentioned previously that some staff still don't realise they should be insuring the imports.

flux direct insure imports

Try Termsure

just got mine done today on footman james and its an import and was £132

i'm sure i read somewhere on here that they dont list or Insure it if u say its an fairlady ( import ) but u tell them its a 300zx import and its all ok no probs

we actualy have one of the footman james lot on here im sure he will be along shortly to help but as saifd they do insure imports as they have offered me a very very cheap policy im your asge.

Got a good quote from City Insurance today, they didnt mess me around like the others so think i might go with them and there's no confusion about imported cars. Hopefully have the car on the road on friday, can't wait!

Thanks for the help.

Ah the insurance lottery. It simply just depends who you speak to on the other end of the phone.

 

I spoke to two people at one company about the same car within 15 mins (I got cut of by mistake) and the price was almost double so I called another company, this was sometime ago I must admit.

 

Mine is an import, and down as an import with Admiral FC for less than £500 on my Slicktop TT, im 25 with good no claims etc.

 

Just have to keep trying places until you get one that is sensible!

we need some sort of insurance data base to help ppl

 

like

insurer

car

age

NCB

Mileage

 

 

kinda give some ppl a run down of whats what on cost and who to try

probably a good idea, only been a member for a few months and there seems to be alot of insurance questions on here.
