couple of questions...
ok having a hard time finding a local uk insurance company that will take me being 24, not even having a uk license... and having a s2k, damn group 20
some will do me at 25 but the price is nuts
any younger guys care to share thier insurance comps with me?
i did read the ins post but no one answered my qs in there
also custom plates, i checked the DVLA but whats the easiest way to get them and what is the cost per year for them
mine might look funny
would i get a regular long plate for the front and small for the back
since my car is made with a shorter plate in the rear since its usdm
though i dont recall if yours is the same way
what is the max letters or least amount of letters?

Evan, have a look at the insurance comparison spreadsheet to see what some guys use...

its nothing per year, as long as it is on a vehicle. You pay upfront for the private number and a transfer fee.

Re insurance, are you coming over here for "work" and bringing your S, this is why you need UK insurance?
Not sure about plates
Are you in an Automobile Association in the US that could give you info on driving your car abroad?
US Embassy in the UK?
You could maybe try a search for importers of US cars into the UK (there are plenty here) - they may know about the plate thing, and could perhaps advise on insurance.

I dont know, I will try them most of the places said no because im not 25 yet
a lot of the guys might have insurance but remember you guys were born here and have been driving for some time
yea i can say ive been driving since i was 16 with no claims but to them im a us cit and it doesnt mattter
ive had a uk dl for about a week
im military, and its being shipped for free.. i cant get usaa or gieco which are international companies
but wont take me because the stict laws of the uk
I have some tixs from when i was yougner and stupider
ok so anyone know the up front cost, thats cool if its a cost just once..
