It's basically impossible for me to find car insurance for my 1992 Mini City 998. The cheapest i've found is around 4000. I'm currently in college and don't earn much, but i can't seem to find anything cheaper. My friend a few years ago got a 1.6 focus 03' model when he was 17, and it was 2000?! These are both just TPFT by the way. I was thinking of going with footman james, but im under 25, or I-Kube, but the car is over 16 years old. I would really like some help. Going on parents insurance is not applicable either, tried that, because it's a 2nd car for them, they won't insure me on it.

Mini is now with Admiral and their mods policy is fairly cheap so give them a call.

Is that your own policy, or on a parents?
And Direct line wouldn't insure me as i am 17, gunna give footman james a call when they open tomorrow. If not, i'll be posting back in here. Insurance is hell.

Sorry that's not true in all cases - with my son they wanted £900, yet Peter James Insurance quoted £650. This was only two weeks ago, yet 8 months ago when we first got a quote, both companies were identical at £750 - now he is older and more experienced, FJ put the price up but PJ reduced it. Guess who got the businessfootman james is the cheapest out there. im with on my car n bike n thery are by far the cheapest on the market

Direct Line must have changed their guidelines then as my youngest was only 17 when he was with themAnd Direct line wouldn't insure me as i am 17, Insurance is hell.
I agree it seems like going through hell but as you get older, it does get better!

They quoted £763 TPFT for the mini with my 17 year old son on the policy once he passes his test. (I have to cancel the £ 197 policy) Until then he's insured on the cavalier with Marmalade Provisional Cover - google it £256 for 3 months.
