1998 , date of UK registration.
1985 , date of first use in other country .

Presumably it has a 1985 B or C plate ?

You will not find imported cars like that on Comparison websites.

With a Yank you are far better off going to a specialist for quotation and policies. They offer limited mile policies and in times like these, laid up policies where you may not be taking your car out for a while.

To give you a reference, Brentacre have just reinsured by GMC Sierra Pickup for £250 with FC cover, including business mileage.

You will not find your run of the mill insurance companies match specialist brokers.

thanks mate, called them this morning after finding out the current owner uses them, £255 for the year, very pleased with that,
wher would be a good place to look for parts and accessories,
thanks.
