Kieth Michaels will be your best. That seems like a good quote.

Best quote I have ever had, Sky or Greenlight couldnt touch them.

No standard insurer will touch you when you say its an import...they are only use to poverty spec cars.

To be honest, you've got a real good price there, don't even know why you are worrying about other insurers!

Been with KM for around 8+ years, every so often i get a cross quote and each time it comes back 30-100+% more than KM.

Insurance on our MR2 conv has halved over the past 3 yrs and on my aero has also dropped year on year as they get the best deals for us. Its not just that they are cheap,, they are also good! usually the two do not go together, they prove to be an exception to that rule.

I got a quote via Admiral for my import S202 which was very competitive, last time I went through one of the major comparison sites there was a box you could tick which asked if the car was an import or not.

Mine's an import and "standard" insurers are all I've used, as the so-called specialists are always more expensive.

Thats really interesting, over the past eight years of import ownership, i could not get a standard insurer to insure the car. Granted I havent tried in the past two years, but I'll give it a go come February, sounds like things are getting better!

You had all mods declared as well?

Used to have my Classic WRX insured with Admiral. All mods were declared but in the event of an accident parts would only be replaced with 'standard' parts.

All the above prices are making my insurance look cheap.

31 years old, 0 no claims (all being used on another car), fully comp, all mods declared and replaced like for like, every option ticked including courtesy car, legal, screen, audio etc etc
£390 with SKY.
