The latest installment in the "I'm going to get an MX5" saga...

Does anybody know of insurers that specialise in japanese imports and aren't the sort to make silly stipulations...

eg with direct line I get a very reasonable quote for a UK car but they won't insure me at all on an import, because I'm under 25.

Do insurers that aren't bothered by imports exist? If I could afford the insurance on an import I could get an early 1.6 import and that'd be ideal as the car would be that bit cheaper (I'm a student).

so if I get a pre '94 1.6 it will have the same engine as the import 1.6s? This is one of the reasons I was wondering at an import as I really don't want the really slow one. How common are pre '94 UK cars?
