If you're happy then that's fine. I have an Import car and if something was to happen to it, I wouldn't want the the insurers to give me a £800ish price which is what the market value of an UKDM Prelude is at the moment. Just imo..

yeah but if you make a claim and they find out its an import they will use it to invalidate the claim

^^^^ THIS!

This is what I was worried about.

But hang on, I just had another little tinker around on confused and managed to get a quote of 665 quid for an import.... thats not that bad. When I switched it back over to UK car it went up to 775

bloody things broken!

I've used sky for a few years now, I first used them to insure my UKDM vti, when I swapped to my JDM the price didn't change at all

Surely the insurance company that has hijacked the Lude Generation Facebook page must offer the best deal for Prelude insurance...?!!
