Just to advise Lynbrooks don't do imports. Unless they're from the EU zone. I tried to convince the lady that Japan was recently adopted into the EU but I think she rumbled me............................ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peranaman Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I didnt have any trouble and I have an import. do you mean Lynbrook insured your Jap import? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigman Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 do you mean Lynbrook insured your Jap import? Yep,they asked if it was a 'grey' import. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peranaman Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Yep,they asked if it was a 'grey' import. I'll call them back - can you give me any sort of ref point such as reg number or name via p.m.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peranaman Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Update. Called Sky - very helpful bloke called Jason. Got me a quote FC and all the trimmings plus all mods covered. £315. Then had to check with my current insurer A Flux (who had said renewal was 375) and they wouldn't let me go - so they popped under the radar at 314. Whats a guy to do?? So Flux won the day again. International breakdown was an extra £45. so there we go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to convince the lady that Japan was recently adopted into the EU but I think she rumbled me............................ I called Lynbrook up today just to verify (although I already have my policy clearly stating my car is an import) and they said 'yes we cover imports and refusal would not be just because it's an import' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peranaman Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 (edited) I called Lynbrook up today just to verify (although I already have my policy clearly stating my car is an import) and they said 'yes we cover imports and refusal would not be just because it's an import' When I called I deliberately posed the question about Imports to save my time and she said point blank we don't insure imports. What else to say? I certainly won't ring them again if they don't have a consistent policy. Edited October 6, 2008 by peranaman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chunder Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Please correct me if i am wrong, as it would be useful to know, but i thought you had to have a completely standard car in order to get a classic car insurance cover? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peranaman Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 This sums up insurance companies: "I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I’m not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
