Hello,
Was after a second opinion. I have just imported an Opel GT 2008 Model. The import has gone well and I have all the docs, its got its UK number plate and is good to go.
I rang Admiral for insurance (as my main car is with them) just on the off chance they may be able to insure my before I went to Adrian Flux. They said they could, so I was quite pleased.
The could not find the Opel GT on their database and asked what the UK equivalent was, I said that there was not one really and stated that this was the model that came after the Vauxhall VX220, but was never released in the UK.
The operator then said, oh thats ok we have an Imported VX220 LHD on our system, its the same engine size, so we can insure it as that.
I said, ok are you sure, as that sounds a bit weird, as surely if the Police stop me and look at the Vehicle Registration Docs they will see OPEL GT and then my insurance will say VAUXHALL VX220, surely that isnt ok ?
The operator went away and checked with her underwriter, came back and said, if the police called us it would be fine, as we would tell them that the car is insured with us, with the license plate, as this in the UK.
I said, ok... Carried on with the quote details and the price was good. Before I comitted I asked for one more check that everything was ok with the above, again she went away and this time spoke with her manager and came back and said, honestly its all fine.
Now I guess I should not worry, but I am a bit. Has anyone else ever had this before ? -what do you think ?
Am I being paranoid ?
