Cam-Ron insurance brokers in Sarnia, On.
Speak with Dave Ashdown. 519-337-3713.
The company they deal with for RHD is Gore Mutual.
They do RHD's on a case-by-case basis, they do not just say "NOPE". Also, they have not filed federally for the right to refuse RHD's like 90% of the other companies. (this filing is the reason for the straight up "no" with no justification)
I guess someone still likes to make money.
I currently moved my whole policy (2 cars, house, and new boat soon) to them cause they were the only ones to insure my Pajero (of all things).
They also hooked up Andrew (overboostedlebaron) for his Skyline.

I know the broker's in Sarnia, but hopefully this helps some people.
Tell him Rick and Andrew sent you!

I wouldn't Ryan. The sooner you start on your own, the sooner your rates will drop. You have a full G so it won't be too bad. You'll find something..there's still a few companies out there...

No problem. He's a very reasonable guy to deal with...no prejudice against RHD at all, and knows his stuff.
They just needed pics of my truck (including VIN plate to veirfy short VIN), and a copy of the ownership for that same purpose.
No appraisal needed, but the purchase price (bill of sale).
Only downfall....it's almost EXACTLY the same price for full coverage as my wife's '10 Mazda 3, for a 1994 Pajero LWB 2.8 diesel.
But then again, wife's car was 18,900 brand new.....Pajero was 10,500 plus the fact they figure parts will be more...so I guess I can't complain.

what Im thinking is putting the honda in my name, and ease into payments with the skyline under my dads. That way I can be gaining insured driving time and when I have a steady income, swapping the skyline to my name and hope for some collector car policy to come along.

Ha, shoulda known you had a plan...
Good idea. Now just get the car already!

After I figure out my school payments, the car will be next on the list. I'm hoping sometime by the end of this year, as I will have to reassess my situation after I've worked my summer away

re-VIN nonsense...

Once your insurance company finds out that your car is RHD, you will be toast! Re-VIN is a pointless exercise, unless you like intentionally lying to your insurance agent.

RHD is what it is all about, not VIN. Just because some dude can type in a VIN does not mean that you're in the clear.

Sheesh!



FYI, I noticed that that the vast majority of Porsches in Japan are LHD, and just for giggles I gave my insurance agent the "rest of the world" VIN from a 944S2 at a USS Tokyo auction.

He couldn't look up the VIN, but when I said it was LHD he said could care less where it came from as long as it was able to be legally registered in Ontario is all that mattered, and in this case it would cost exactly the same as a domestic equivalent to insure.

Basically, VIN is meaningless, it's what the car is that counts, and in the JDM or UKDM markets that means RHD.

For ontario Re-vin:

you need to call
416-252-3441 and speak with Sheila. Ask her for a re-vin application.

...

this will help in insuring your car here as any insurance company can plop the vin into there system, because of this you will not have to deal with the underwriters(they're the ones who refuse to insure you).
