Insurance for older jap import

dcfc91

Buddy of mine is having serious issues with getting insurance on an Impreza, he can't get a quote from any insurance companies. Some don't like it cause it's over 20 years old, other don't like it cause it's a jap import and modified. Anyone have any recommendations of specialist insurance conpanies that might quote him?

Try the likes of Campion or other specialist crowds, but a 20 year old import impreza driven by a youngish male is practically uninsurable the way things are

How much is he willing to pay? I would imagine that the combination of jap import ,age of car and age of driver will make it very expensive .I would see that car costing a thirty year old in excess of 1000 euro to insure.

Depending on where they live it could easily pass the 2000 mark. The lowest quote I could get for a similar age(and type) Jap import was 1800 quid TPF&T. The most expensive quoted was over three and a half grand. And I'm 50, no points, NCB, driving since the mid 80's.
