How to get insurance for my Japanese import?

I am trying to insure a Japan import car which I bought recently. The reg isn't pulling up in most of the insurance sites. What can I do about this or is there a company that does insurance for Japanese import cars specifically?

Hi Neeraj,

Try all the big companies first to check, then a broker such as GMIB or even Paddy Compare. We've not used them ourselves, but they appear to be familiar with imports.
