I'd like to know if one was to purchase a car of this sort, can one get insurance and drive it in Canada? If so who would insure them?

I think "they have" when referring to physically having the vehicles is an error. They might have an XJ220 or EB110 since they were built a few years back, although having more than one of either might be a problem since so few were built. The Bugatti 16/4 Veyron, I am positive, cannot be found at this dealership. The Veyron will go into production later this year, but I'm sure they won't be sold like Hondas ("all models, all colors, immediate delivery"); you'll most likely have to order yours and it'll be built to your specs.
As for buying an XJ220 or Esprit, I don't know about Canada but in the US they can be purchased. The Esprit, until recently, was sold by factory authorized dealers in the US and will not be imported in the future because of emissions regulations. The XJ220 can be converted (under loopholes in the US regulations), but the factory has not built them to US specs. I assume these are the same problems a Canadian would have in acquiring these cars. Width of the car is not a problem since neither is excessively wide.
