You will find it easier to insure a UK model than a JDM import. Some companies refuse to insure imports at all, others put the imports in a higher group.

My previous insurer tried to insist that JDM models needed a tracker installed while UK cars were OK with a cat2 immobiliser. WTF?

The sad fact is that UK car insurance is a rip off and unless you have a full NCB you are going to get screwed.

I'll second the Adrian Flux recommendation though. They won't insure JDM imports on a "classic car" policy, but they did me a deal for not much more than Maineman said above. I was advised to "ask for the yellow team" when getting quotes from them. Whatever that means.
