Excellent service from start to finish. The team took time to understand exactly what I needed and found me a great policy at a competitive price. Couldn't be happier with the whole experience.
Been with Chris Knott for over 5 years now. Easy renewal process and the team are always a pleasure to speak with. Proper UK-based advice you can actually trust.
After being let down by my previous insurer, Chris Knott made the whole process painless. Honest, straightforward, and friendly from the very first call. Highly recommend them.
Andy was brilliant - talked me through all the options clearly, no pressure, and found me a much better deal than the comparison sites. This is how insurance should be done.
I needed specialist cover for my classic Jaguar and Chris Knott sorted it quickly and at a great price. Really impressed with the level of knowledge and personal service.
Switched my home insurance after a recommendation from a friend. Very competitive premium and the whole thing was done in under 20 minutes. Very pleased with everything.
First-class service. I dealt with Emma who was patient, helpful and knew exactly what I needed for my thatched cottage. Got proper specialist cover, not a standard policy.
Genuinely good old-fashioned customer service. A real person who actually listens and helps you find the right cover. Wouldn't go anywhere else for my insurance now.
Had a claim last year and Chris Knott supported me throughout. Made a stressful situation much easier. Fair, fast, and professional - exactly what you want from a broker.
Renewed my multi-car policy today. Still the best value I've found anywhere and the team remembered me from last year. That personal touch really makes a difference.
Very helpful team, especially when I needed to add a modified vehicle to my policy. Talked me through everything and made sure I was properly covered. Excellent all round.
Chris Knott have been brilliant for my listed property - most insurers wouldn't touch it but they found me comprehensive cover at a sensible price. Grateful for their expertise.
Efficient, clear, and competitive. I ran through three comparison sites before calling Chris Knott and they beat them all. UK-based team made the whole thing painless.
Outstanding from start to finish. I've recommended Chris Knott to everyone I know - my parents, my sister, and even my colleagues. They never let anyone down.
The service is what sets Chris Knott apart. You get proper advice from people who understand insurance, not a script. Worth every penny and more.
As classic vehicles which can sometimes be Japanese imports, Datsun vehicles have unique specifications compared to other cars on UK roads. Classic Datsun models combine Japanese engineering reliability with distinctive styling that sets them apart from European contemporaries.\u00a0 These vehicles often feature specifications that are different from UK-market models, especially ones imported directly from Japan.
Original Datsun models are now several decades old, with many qualifying as genuine classic cars. Parts availability can be challenging for certain models, especially for JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) variants never officially sold in Britain. Authentic restoration costs may exceed standard insurance company estimates, making specialist cover from a trusted insurer important. Additionally, well-preserved examples have seen increases in value in recent years.
Standard car insurance policies rarely provide appropriate cover for Japanese imports like Datsuns. A specialist policy from an experienced insurance company takes into account factors such as:
\u00a0
Whether you drive a nimble Datsun Cherry, a practical Sunny, or an iconic sports model like the 240Z or 280ZX (which later evolved into Nissan\u2019s Z series), specialist insurance ensures your Japanese classic receives proper protection.
We can arrange insurance for a wide range of Datsun models, including:
We also cover rare Japanese import models that may have unique specifications or modifications compared to UK-market versions and later Nissan vehicles that were originally branded as Datsun in some markets.

That\u2019s not a problem! We don\u2019t just arrange Car Insurance for Classic Cars. We can arrange Car Insurance for older vehicles too. We\u2019ll advise on the best Old Car Insurance policy for your needs.
It can be, yes. Older cars are often simpler, heavier, slower. As such, they are less at risk of\u00a0a claim. As a rule, classic car drivers are more cautious, drive fewer miles, shorter distances,\u00a0at quieter times and in fairer weather\u00a0\u2013\u00a0all of which minimises risk.
There may be. For instance,\u00a0modifications\u00a0may affect a car\u2019s \u2018classic\u2019 status, so it\u2019s important\u00a0to declare this when getting a quote. Some insurers will have driver age and mileage limits\u00a0too. Track days or racing may not be covered, depending on the insurer.\u00a0In addition, for insurance purposes, a classic car can\u2019t be your everyday vehicle and should\u00a0benefit from off-road and/or garage parking.\u00a0An independent insurance broker can help to ensure you have the right cherished vehicle insurance policy for your needs.
Yes, we can arrange Replica Car and Kit Car Insurance. Our experienced team of\u00a0car insurance brokers\u00a0is able to tailor a\u00a0policy\u00a0to you and your car.
