Hi there

My car is registered onto Spanish plates after having lived in Spain for eight years. It is Right Hand drive.

I want to re-register it into GB plates. Before I can do this I must first have it insured with a UK insurance company, using the chassis number.

I can only find Saga who will do this. Does anyone have any suggestions of any others?

Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton

    Try a broker (not swintons) based near a military base as they do this all the time for the military when they return from foreign postings

  • I've just tried Saga and they don't insure on chassis number (now)?
    In fact, they don't cover any imported vehicle.
    I'll try previously suggested broker in Catterick.
