Many car enthusiasts look to the continent to find the car of their dreams. In addition to the costly process of importing the car, some vehicles have to be modified and tested in accordance with the Single Vehicle Approval scheme. On top of that, there is also the factor of grey import vehicle insurance to consider - a type of insurance that many companies simply do not deal with.
If your car comes from beyond the EU, perhaps the USA, you will have to source a company that deals with American car insurance. These specialist forms of insurance are designed to cover the technical specifications of vehicles that may comply with the safety standards of the country in which they were made, but do not fully fall into line with those of the UK.
