Okay, before i bought my 1275gt my insurance was quoted at £2002, and i have just done another quote to see what it is and they want £4000!
This is ridiculous.
Excuse my language but this is an absolute p take, I thought a mini was meant to be one of the cheapest cars to insure for an 18 year old -.-


What do i do "/

there's you mistake

with a classic car and/or a modified one it's always best talking to a real person rather than clicking a box

The majority of companies wont insure people under 21 with classic car insurance though :/

Cheapest for me is insure to drive, RAC came a close second. I've phoned lots of the specialists, but none of them could get it below 3k.

You're*
Sorry, had to considering you were mentioning todying up grammar... :P

The cheapest quote I've got up to now is £3000 :(

Do co-op insure Minis? Whenever I enter my details, it is unable to give me a quote. Something to do with age perhaps and the fact it lacks highly in safety features?
