Hello,

28 year old, dark haired, very pretty Spanish girl in the office (si), has brought her little C3 to the UK.

Anyone recommend an Insurance company to cover a bog standard C3, 1.1, green thing, but a left hand drive?



She has 7 years of (Notary confirmed) Spanish NCB, and has 1 year of British NCB. lives in the UK etc etc etc .

To re-new, she's been quoted £700.
As a re-flux I suggested a company who offer specialist insurance, but they want £1,000+...

Hi,
Its UK registered now, so the only thing is the steering wheel is on the wrong side.

£700 just seems crazy for a car worth probably less than that!

I think that is who the first year of insurance was with. (A-Plan)

She did well to get that then as they won't touch a lot of American cars without the person having LHD experience over here.

Tried Sureterm? Footman James?
Will pass it on....

LHD cars were worth more than RHD ones last time I looked. Why doesn't she sell it and buy a RHD one?
Would you like to make an offer or a 52 plate Citroen C3, 1.1 in Kermit the Frog Green?
I'll wager it's not worth much!

Thank you for your help.

All passed on.

I've suggested she sell it to someone who has a home abroad....
