E30 Zone

Hello folks!
I am new member in here. I was living in Ireland and now moved to UK. I brought my e30 with me. It is still on Irish plates with Irish registration. I wanted to registrate my e30 in UK, but got some problems. DVLA asked me to get MOT and insurance. I passed MOT without any problems. But I was in 2 insurance companies and they can't insure my foreign car in UK. Does someone know what I can do now?
Cheers,
Regards.

insure the VIN number and get the neccessary docs to the DVLA. I am in process of registering mine from jersey.

yep, a friend improted a vw golf from germany. insure it on the vin, get it mot'd and taxed, get it registered then let your insurers know the reg number when you get it through.

What insurance company for example can insure by VIN?

I had this problem with my French regestered touring.As I could not produce the French equivilant of a V5c,I had to obtain an MoT,that was a mission on it's own,and insurance before DVLA would issue a reg number and tax it.Adrian Flux was the only company that I could find who would issue a cover note with a VIN number.

They insisted on a fresh policy with no NCB allowed,and a premium north of £750....I cancelled immediately I had dealt with the DVLA,and recovered about £600 of my premium,went to my usual place and transfered cover from another car,for a nominal(ish) cost!

Not to sure about who insures the VIN numbers i think alot of big insurers will. I know admiral do cause i spoke to a guy on the phone about it just recently, you'll need cert of export, insurance (on the VIN), tax, mot and you need a customs and excise VAT receipt to show that you've paid the necessary tax on import.

Also if the vehicle is 10 years old or less (i think) you'll need a type approval letter/cert aswell to show that it complies with emissions an so on.

Not 100% about all that but i think thats it. Im sure someone will correct me if im wrong.
