Importing WRX from Europe
#1
I am due to pickup a WRX from Belgium in Sept/Oct.
I am trying to arrange fully comp insurance from on the VIN no, I am having trouble getting cover for the driving in Belgium & also on the ferry to the UK.
I was told A Plan could arrange cover however their underwriter will not cover the WRX as it is "too risky" !
I don't want to use a transport company as I want to go over to Belgium to pick it up.
Has anybody gone through this ? If so who insured the car ?

Insured through Endsleigh - picked up car in Holland and insured from moment I drove it.
Did'nt seem to have a problem insuring without number plate either.
I'm sure other companies should do a similar service

Another way is to insure the car on the VIN number to say that you have the car & am registering it with DVLA (even though the car is sitting in Belgium). You'll have to do this a week before, so you'll be losing out on a weeks insurance but fully covered when you pick it up.
Then, register the car with DVLA to get a reg number. Make the plates, then tell the isurance you are travelling to Belgium & get a green card.
Then voila,you are covered.
