are they banning new registrations on rhd cars in ontario?

Hey guys, I'm looking at buying a rhd car (rx7 or mr2) most likely....and I read on some other forum that they are going to ban all new registrations in ontario.

Yeah, I could just call MTO but thought I'd post here since there doesn't seem to be any recent rhd posts anyways.

Also read that most insurance companies are now turning down these cars as well....are my dreams of owning a rhd 3rd gen going to go down the tube?

generally from what i see for insurance your rhd car is considered a collectable So you need to find that type of insurance company

And only in Quebec they are not allowing any new registrations

At the moment, Ontario still has no ban on RHD.

To insure a RHD as "only" vehicle might be trickie, but there is a good amount that will insure it.

If its a second car, its much easier.

I insured mine through the same company Ive been with since 16. It took about a week for them to figure it out. They ended up adding a bunch of 0's to the end of the vin and it's classed as a rx-7 4 cylinder. I pay less money for full coverage on it than I do with my Turbo II $78/month for the 3rd gen $116/month Turbo II. It's kinda funny... They have no Idea how to class it or what it is.
