Chassis Number Catch 22 - Registration Woes, Please Help! - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

N15M0 · 16th April 2008, 10:47 AM

Hi All,

Reasonably new to the forum - so I guess this could count as an official 'hello'!

I'm after some honest sage-like advice about insurance - *dont all roll your eyes at once*

So here goes:

After much saving I've just imported a 95 R33 GT-R, which I'm over the moon about, and have so far managed to sort out all the conversions and get the beastie through its MOT! Now - I had an amazing quote from Greenlight Insurance which they gave me a reference number for, and I have every intention of going back and taking out when the car is registered.

My problem is: I spoke to the DVLA this morning, and to get the car registered, I need insurance. But to get insurance I need a registration number. And knowhere I ring will give me insurance on a chassis number - not even a temp cover note for a month.

I keep reading about people getting insurance on chassis numbers and am staring to wonder if theres some kind of code-word you say when you ring up! lol!

I feel like I'm just running round in circles with this now - I just tried A-Plan and Tesco, they both said no!

Please Please help

try flux, i know they do off road insurance like you would use if fully rebuilding, you may not need it registered for that

Flux - fully comp on a chassis number! success - cheers Mava

Not sure why a-plan said no, I guess my age might have had something to do with it (24)
