as above are they classed as an import the same as a jap import?

and would i need to use an insurance company that specialises in imports?

cheers

Agreed, Norn Iron is part of the "united kingdom of great britian and northern ireland", we do have a different reg plate system from the "mainland" so some insurance companies may be a wee bit funny and our insurance is generally more too.

...and your road/traffic legislation is or was different... Well, some of it, anyway.

AFAIK we only adhere to some of the ACPO guidelines in relation to traffic offences

Makes no difference. I bought a bike in N.I. which was therefore on local plates and rode it home. I later applied for a UK registration and was issued a new V5 with the bike on a W plate as it was first registered in 2000. I notified the insurance and a replacement certificate was issued. No change to the premium at any time.

I had an M535i which was first registered in NI and was counted as a normal Brit car, just had a more interesting number plate.
