Slightly off the topic but anyway...

Does anyone know anything about insuring an un-registered imported car.
I want to pic up a car from Southampton and have heard that you can insure the car using the chassis number. Apparently this covers you for two journeys, the drive from the port to home and then from home to the test centre where the alterations will take place.

Anyone ever done this or know of cost etc.....?

Thanks for all your input.
OK assuming I decide to drive it home, can anyone recommend an insurance company and how much it will potentially be?

I've tried Direct line and they say they dont do any such cover.
