As titled, Does insuring an import vary to a UK model? Anyone ever insured an import? Is there anything drastically different involved?

Would have been cheaper for me to insure a JDM 350z over a UK one for some reason

with John,

Import is traditionally more expensive than normal UK models. My Mx5 went up because it was a Eunos not a Uk spec but i didnt realise when i viewed it.

there the same on everything yet it cost me an extra £100

mr2 is no comparable due to there being no UK turbo models

Not that I have to justify myself to a grumpy old man but the best quote I got so far was from a specialist for a UK model. I have to call them and go through numerous options to get a quote so to save a little time and to get a rough idea, thought I'd post on here to gain a little feedback. Sir

Just ring A-Plan & Keith Michaels. They're usually the best with that kind of thing as long as you're over 25.

Was £300 more expensive for me to insure a similar Eunos to my UK MX5
