Has anyone else tried to get quotes on insurance yet?

It's either not on there websites or I'm getting told it's an import and can't insure when I call.

Anyone got any ideas. Or have recommendations

Yes, last week.
Shannons approx $1500 with $500 excess, $1300 with $1000 excess. 47yrs, ACT, locked garage no majors with the Law. Sounds pretty good to me.
GIO don't have details of the RS yet and can't quote

They just gave me a quote, as I already have the 86 with them, for a non daily driver (1km commute to work is better suited the 1896 corolla) $957 per annum,
EDIT- so I can get insurance on 4 vehicles and still have change for a Quaife LSD for you to insure the RS, is good to be old (I'm 38)
Make sure they know about the anti theft on it might make a decent difference.

Repair cost.
Risk.

Looks promising, until the inevitable prats increase the insurance risk. Hope I don't bang mine not testing Drift Mode...
I didn't go with Shannons on other vehicle quotes because they were expensive.

Got an amazing quote from Shannons this evening.
Very very happy :)

Shannons all the way.. :)
Now where's that car??????
Hurry up Ford....

Mine was for over 2 grand with Shannon's. Seems expensive.

They can also do a limited usage policy (average 2 days per week usage) as I mainly drive on weekends. I'd feel uneasy if I took it out more often one week and had something happen though.

Had to do a claim years ago with Shannons(guy hit my car) all I can say it was F&CKING painful, I think it was a long time ago since they have been enthusiasts for enthusiasts. Unfortunately no one else will insure my bikes, gotta bend over and take it long d!ck style!
