I pay about £500 insurance with a full no claims bonus. In the UK, you insure a car, not a person. You get a percentage discount off the premium, year on year, up to 65%. Accordingly, the full premium on my car would be around £1500.
There are specialist American Car insurers like Adrian Flux who will insure you relatively cheaply on (UK number) 0870 0777888 or try Colchester Insurance Centre on 01206 792927. In the UK, limiting your mileage to under 7500 miles a year brings a discount as does having it garaged or fitted with an immobiliser.
Just make sure nobody takes advantage of you by trying to get you to import loads of parts through your APO. There's this character called Jagsy who is infamous for doing it and yet he's a simple Northern bloke with a funny accent who doesn't know how to use a spanner and definitely needs a new battery to go drag racing.
