REGISTERED OVERSEAS ????

[FENTY]

Got my car for sale at the moment and a punter has came back and said that he can't insure it because it wasn't registered as a UK car and is a grey import. The car came from the Channel islands does this mean its not a Uk car.
The log book, i have now realised has a note that says was registered overseas.
I had no problem and had loads of quotes.

Were classed as UK here in Guernsey, just vat free so I can't see the problem.
Maybe he just didn't try hard enough.

[FENTY]

would the log book say registered overseas as mine does

[Tattooboy]

I believe the official line is that the Channel Islands are not classed as the UK so any car first registered there would be classed as an import here but can't see why that would stop insurance qoutes.

Hes just not tried many insurers, if he explains where it was actually registered at then it shouldnt be a problem with most of them.

Adrian Flux and Sky both insure grey imports. If yours is a Vauxhall, rather than a Holden, then it will be UK spec.
