Sorry to hear of your continuing problems.
I too get so frustrated with EU/UK 'rules'. Russian burocracy is at times an absolute nightmare, exceeding even Kafka's The Citadel. But Russia is a surprisingly free country where people are far more unrestricted by State(s).
Thats why I prefer to live there more than UK now.
Back to you -
Why can't you arrange insurance of your UK registered vehicle on-line with a UK broker/insurer?
As stated before, UK policies include minimum legal cover throughout EU.
If the online firms do not deal with non-UK orginating messages, look up "Proxy Server" or get an Internet Cafe Geek to do it for you.
If they still won't do it on-line there are regular Easyjet/Ryanair type flights from Tallin, Riga, Vilnius, etc to UK, so you can walk in and do it 'in person' showing them your face, proof of identity and UK address and the vehicle ownership/keeper documentation.
If your vehicle is 'too old' what about trying the appropriate Owners Club or a Historic or Specialist Vehicle Club? They often have their own relationships with Insurers.
Just ideas!
Good luck.
