'68 911 Temporary Insurance Help

[Alfie]

Hello everyone, this is my first post so please go easy on me!
I am finalising the purchase of a 68 911 that is in Ontario. I live in Manchester England and was hoping to fly out pay for the car and then drive it down to Newark for Shipping back to the UK.
I am struggling to get auto insurance as I am a non US resident and a non Canadian resident. All the companies have spoken to so far say I cant do what I'm trying to do.
Does anyone know a good insurance company or broker that may be able to help.
I only need cover for 1 week.
Thanks for any help

Why not insure it with your own insurance in the U.K., get a transit here to move the car. Where in Ontario are you buying from, it may be easier to ship from Toronto or Montreal.

All UK insurance companies I have tried say they can't insure a car unless it's in Europe. Seems crazy to me but thats what I'm being told. The car is near to Toronto and I had briefly looked at shipping from Canada. A shipping company
I had been recommended really prefered to ship from Newark. So I should rephrase my questions to include: Can anybody recommend a good auto shipper in Canada?

Try Hagerty Collector car insurance. They may have a policy to meet your needs.

Thanks, I'll give them a try.

So it's a no go with Hagerty. If anyone has any other suggestions they would be gladly accepted.

I think you need to purchase 1 year policy then make payment for first installment like maybe 1 month, when car makes it back home to UK cancel existing policy and replace with new one in UK.

better to put it in a container in Canada probably cheaper too .
I went thru the same situation with a german buyer that wanted to drive the car he bought from me to Newark, he just went without insurance or valid tags !!!!not a great idea

Thanks for all the advise so far. Any insurance is proving tricky at the moment. I have 1 option left which if doesn't work out I think I will ship the car from Canada. Does anybody know any Canadian Shippers?
Thanks

Hello I think that is going to difficult in Ontario. In order to just change the ownership over for a classic car an appraisal must be done first by a certified appraiser. The appraiser will verify the value so Mr tax man can get his cut before the change. I can give you an appraiser's information if you want to send me a pm. He may be able to help with the insurance as well as he also does appraisals for an insurance company and is experienced with Porsche cars. I think I know of the car you are talking about north of Toronto.
Good Luck
