These are the guys I went through for my Skyline

Keith Michaels were the cheapest too, but trying to get them to send me anything was a right pain. I like to check things over before I go ahead, and they cba'd to do it they lost my custom. I went with Sky, here are my notes if it helps anyone:

- Sky: as above
- Keith Michaels: see above
- Paceward: good and friendly staff, just couldn't get down to the same price as Sky
- Chris Knott: Couldn't get close (didn't even quote me)
- Brentacre: Ok, pricer than Sky
- A-plan: expensive
- Direct Line: [Car MUST be standard] Wouldn't quote (they did last year), I think the computer monkey couldn't work it out
- Footman James: 7k mileage limit
- Japcover: couldn't quote as mine was standard
- Performance Direct: 35yrs old+
- Swinton: 30+
- Acorn: 3rd party cover only
- 2gether: 30+

I'd give Sky a shot as your base price. They sorted me out pretty quickly after flux quoted me astronomical amounts to switch to a JDM car (not that they had any idea of what the car was).

any broker that knows their arse from their elbow will do.

Got my Mirage insured with Greenlight and it's about as obscure an import as you could come across.
