  • I also have an imported Japanese car and like jo-King found Tesco to be the cheapest. Found that some companies wouldn't even give me a quote. Don't have same car as you, but you could give them a try.

    Hi - the leading firm for Japanese and grey import insurance is A Plan.They don't quote on line but have intelligent and helpful humans answering their phones.Ring 0845
    0711234 and ask for Darren or Rob. https://www.aplan.co.uk have been in business ages as their website will tell you and insure thousands of Subarus Pajeros Skylines etc.

    They are open 9-5 and have a high reputation for service and claims handling.
