Fudging on the insurance is a bit risky. In the event you had a claim on a
"gray market" car you could be in for a real problem. In my opinion (and it's
strictly MY opinion) insurance companies go out of their way to avoid paying
claims. That's how they build gleaming chrome and glass buildings by not giving
the money back. There is no sense in handing them a gimme. I had enough
trouble
insuring a MG V8 conversion and I went about it by being upfront and honest.
I have seen three factory V8 cars in the US. I don't know how they got
here
or how they are insured but that is the owner's problem, I guess. No sense in
poking the tiger in the cage.
