JDM Insurance

[K55]

Curious to know what local firms will insure imports? More for future reference than anything....

What age does a car need to be to qualify for classic insurance?

 

[southsky sunrise]

I always thought 20-25 years but quick search brought up...All pre-1960 cars are exempt from road tax, but many other factors are taken into account when determining if a car is a 'classic' – not just its age. In the UK, there is no fixed age group that a classic car must fit into. For insurance purposes a classic car can be any car that is older than 15 years.

Needs to be 15 now for jdm used to be 10. Maybe other companies still 10 but the cars you want are all in the 90's lol

I had skylines that were listed as "future classics" and were like £275 to insure

1978 for tax. 1960 is for MOT.

Not anymore, I tried to get trade insurance there but no one would cover the glanza.

Axa is the main underwriter for trade but they changed the terms of new policies taken out from April 2018 and won't cover modified cars now

I’m just subscribing to this thread, happy enough with the evo @ £460 a year currently but seing as its now 20 years old I might look into getting a classic policy on the go this year.

My underwriter is AXA on a trade policy and was taken out late April 2018. No issue with imports or modifications.
