That's with Footman James, who specialise in classic cars. You have to be able to put up with a classic car if you want insurance that cheap. I'm currently waiting for a day that it's not raining so I can put a new radiator in my car as there isn't much left of the old one. It also needs a new battery (with a brand new starter motor and brand new alternator, cold cranking is still c**p so last component left really is the battery), new rear differential, the horn needing fixing, the interior light needing fixing, the screenwash pump needing fixing, a reversing light installed, and an engine tune up :rolleyes: old cars are a labour of love, but I have to say recently splitting up with the ex has left me with a lot more money to spend on Aristotle :biggrin:


I remember trying to insure with them after my bro in law recommened them but all the drivers need to be 25!

25 when trying to get a quote online :wink: They will happily insure an 18 year old if you call them up and actually talk to them. I had to sign up to the Morris Minors Owners Club too as a part of my insurance because I was under 25 but £30 a year gets me forum permissions so I can ask how to fix it when it breaks, and cheap insurance so it's definitely worth it.

Guys I don't know whether you're honest or what...!
But I'm currently paying 1,400 GBP/Year first driver! Last year I used to pay the same amount, this year the insurance company said as soon I be 24 the insurance would be way cheaper than what I'm paying now!
So hopefully next year I'm expecting to pay nothing more than 1,000 GBP/Year!
I'm currently insured on a Ford Focus 2004 1.6!
i was £350 this year on a 1.2 Clio, fully comp. I've been driving 4.5 years so have 4 years new claims. I was lucky when i first passed and got my car my dad managed to put me on the farm insurance policy which cost £250 a year. Looking at some prices people have paid for insurance i realise more how lucky i was and still am! I could never afford to pay some of those prices for insurance xx
fiat punto 1.2l
first year £720
second year £500 (switched insurance company)
both fully comp
Fully Comprehensive, in my own name, female aged 17 for a 1.1 litre Citroen C2 (insurance group 1) cost me £1100

Out of interest, I've picked up 3 points this year, what sort of affect will that have on next years price?
So, new driver, female 18yo, Fiat 500 1.2 litre,Insurance I'm just looking around to buy at the moment but looking at between £900-£1100 depending where I look. Ticker is giving good quotes via Confused.com, or alternatively Adrian Flux.
17, male, 4 car household, 2015 VW Up!, £523 per year, no points.
