Default Insurance for import pick-up's / truck's...??? *FAO DANNY B*

I'm on the look out for someone who insures imported pick-up's / truck's, cos i'm on the verge of buying an imported pick-up and need to get insurance for it...

most insurance companies i've spoken to dont cater for pick-up's or imported ones...

so need some pointers in the right direction if any knows of anyone who caters for imported pick up's / truck's

thanks in advance

rich
