get a mini van commercial insurance is much cheaper. i'm insured on a 1.8TD escort van for £38.90 per month for my boss as proposer and me as main driver.

yet my 1L corsa was £111.10 per month :/

what year is your mini? as some companies wont insure pre-1984, which makes things harder for me with my 1980 GT

directline wont insure me with my GT because it's too old. and not tied footman james. but the van is with kwik fit and i'm 17 with only 4 months driving experience.

i think the cheapest for me on my GT is £1200 so far.

try tesco. my mate pays £30 per month as a named driver on his dads 998 mini city (thats for both drivers). the online quotes arent accurate. you need to phone up...and it's much cheaper with most places.

you'll also find the salesman/woman will be more willing to negotiate a better deal and keep you interested, as it's their job to get as many sales as possible.

[1293sleeper]

it has to be a thatchem cat1 alarm and imobilser and its more like a £300 saving it takes about a year or two to get the money back and has to be professionaly installed.
