Easiest indicator - is your rear number plate square?

You may find quite simply that your insurance comapny are just muppets :thumbs:

If it does turn out to be an import - that's no skin off your nose - just find an insurer that realises it doesn't matter one way or another :)

As above plus have a look on your V5 registration doc, pretty sure.....

 

"declared new at first registration" = uk registered from new by dealer i.e not "import"

 

"previously registered and or used overseas" = import.

 

Someone else may help to confirm wording.

indicator is on the left, on most of the insurance comparison sites it shows as normal coupe 2007 350z and on some of them it says fairlady, but it doesnt write fairlady on the log book.

 

these are the pics of it...

Didnt you buy your car accident damaged?

didnt the seller tell you what it was? Is there any Jap writing anywhere on the car?

 

yeap it was damaged, the dealer didn't say anything about import, i haven't seen any Japanese writing yet..

I had the same issue and had to argue with them that it wasn't an import.

 

If I put my reg in Compare The Market it says it's a UK car, if I do it in Confused.com it says it's a Fairlady.

 

Agreed. As such the quotes coming from confused were totally shite. They looked it up and said it was import. But quidco compare and compare the market had it correctly as a UK car.

 

CTM therefore 300 cheaper from Admiral compared to confused! Very silly

 

Must be something on the older cars..
