Swedish imports - classic Volvos, quirky Saabs, rare Koenigsegg hypercars - often have specifications that UK insurers struggle to rate. At Chris Knott Insurance, we arrange specialist cover for Swedish imports that accounts for build provenance, parts availability, and the enthusiast ownership these cars typically attract.
Our UK-based team will work with you to document your car properly and arrange cover that reflects its real value. Whether you're maintaining an original Amazon, a turbo Saab, or a modern Swedish performance car, we can help.
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.
Swedish imports cover more ground than most people realise. At the classic end sit the Volvo Amazon, P1800 (the Saint car), 122 and PV544 - cars with a loyal UK following and parts supply that's gradually specialising. In the middle are Saab 900 Turbos, 99 Turbos, early 96s and the 9-3 Viggen, all left-of-centre choices that can confuse mainstream underwriters. At the extreme end is Koenigsegg - Agera, Jesko, Regera, CCX - hypercars where the insurance conversation changes entirely. None of these cars fit neatly into a comparison-site rating engine. Whether it's a 1967 Amazon with factory paint or a seven-figure Jesko Absolut, we arrange cover through insurers who actually underwrite the car rather than decline it.
Values and parts are the two sticking points. A P1800S or 123GT is worth multiples of book value on a good day, and without agreed-value cover a total-loss settlement won't reflect what the car actually is. Saab parts supply has tightened since the brand closed, so repair bills on a 900 Turbo or 9-3 Viggen can climb quickly. Koenigseggs need their own conversation entirely. Cover arranged through our panel can include:

To arrange insurance for your Swedish import, you'll typically need:
Our team can guide you through exactly what documentation you'll need for your specific situation, including any additional requirements for a car previously used in Sweden.
When importing a motor vehicle from Sweden, an EU country, several factors can impact your insurance. Your vehicle must be properly registered with the DVLA (the UK equivalent of Transportstyrelsen) and have passed all necessary inspections, including obtaining a valid MOT certificate and ensuring compliance with UK road traffic regulations.
Any modifications made to meet UK standards must be declared to your insurance company. This includes lighting adjustments, speedometer changes, and any other technical modifications required for UK road legality.
We work with specialist insurers who understand the unique characteristics of cars previously registered in Sweden, ensuring your vehicle is correctly valued for insurance purposes.
We provide various levels of coverage to suit your needs, including fully comprehensive insurance, third-party fire and theft, and third-party only. Our comprehensive coverage includes full protection for your vehicle, coverage for accident damage, fire, and theft, protection against third-party claims, optional breakdown cover, windscreen coverage, and personal effects coverage.
