Still on the quest for an MX5, I wonder how much more it would bee to insure an import, rather than a UK car. I've heard it's more expensive, but, if you offset that against potential welding work, what might be more cost effective?
When I was looking it actually made virtually no difference. Particularly if you got one old enough to qualify for classic insurance. However I am also an old fart
I found it cheaper to insure an import, but required more legwork to find the deals. My 1994 1.8 S-Special costs £81.56 per year (specialist policy, limited to 3k miles, excludes commuting). That makes the road tax seem expensive! Footman James, btw.
as jobbo it takes a while to search around. I have had the eunos roadster for around £200. I did have a great deal with aviva and another car for me and the misus for £350. Hope you find a good insurance deal. vinnychoff
My Eunos, a 1990 H plate 1.6, was £ 120-00 with 5K mileage per annum. I'm 42 with 'none of the above apply'. Wife as a named driver. All with 'Flux on a classic car policy.
Less than 100 quid for me too with footman James on a classic policy with mx5oc discount. Only problem for some will be it doesn't earn ncb it being a classic policy. No real bother for me personally though.
