I had problems getting insurance just when i bought my car I was getting quotes of £1000 to £1200 back in february, i think it was with insure2drive, i agreed to buy the insurance when my parents came back from their holiday, and when we called them up (when my parents came back) they quoted me £2500 +. i did a bit more fishing around and looked on tiger compare, the results returned with £1666 with Acorn insurance and thats what i had to settle for... the reason it went up so much within the 2 weeks my parents were away was because before hand there was a scheme that insurance is lower for classic cars (over 20 yrs old) but after that we were chatting with 1 company and they said that the law had changed the loop hole in this criteria and 17-21 year olds could not get this "classic insurance" so guys getting insurance on classics is now alot harder for young drivers.. hope this helps

[hobnob888]

[Findlay94]

Im 18, 1 years ncb. Got quoted £850 fully comp on an 89' 1275 with Ecar Insurance! You can buy the car so you get the cheaper insurance if you want as Im doing a rebuild instead ;)

[smoggy_clubman]

just a quick question, with sykes do you build up a ncb? as with some classic insurers they dont do it.

just a quick question, with sykes do you build up a ncb? as with some classic insurers they dont do it.

i'm with flux (not really a fan but because i'm only 20, no1 else would insure me with an agreed valuation, finally agreed at £645 with no ncb (will never get any on the mini because i drive a 1.4 peugeot 206 with 2yrs ncb, and apparently you're not allowed to build up more than 1)

[smoggy_clubman]

I've built up 2? It's for my little brother I'm asking for as he's having silly quotes so I told him to try a classic car.

[a_woolhouse]

oh right i struggled with footman james graham sykes (basically all the ones in mini mag and mini world because they wouldn't insure me :/ and flux told me u couldn't have more than 1 set of no claims, then again i wouldn't trust them as far as i could throw them
