I have been astounded to find that a land rover discovery is half the price to Insure than my mini!

Thought maybe as it was late I was tired, even got the missus to check it for me!

Have you looked into Classic Car Insurance?
Give Lynbrook Insurance a call!

I was thinking that, but he might be too young for a classic policy. Worth a punt though.

I suspect that Land Rovers have a very low accident claims record.  That is what underwriters will determine premiums on.

Land Rovers have always been cheap to insure. My '59 Series 2 costs me £180 a year to insure through the NFU, im only 19 as well. Limited mileage though!

[smithy3793]

Got quoted 2000 on classic insurance with limited mileage,disco is 12,000 miles a year

plus there less likely to get nicked

And pretty much nothing breaks them

Disagree massively here, unless your talking about late models. Land Rovers are massively nickable, especially Defenders, about the only thing that contributes to there insurance being dearer. Always appealed to theaving scumbags because they can be broken down very easily, and there pretty untraceable once this happens.

 

If you've got a garage big enough too keep it in, the insurers like that a lot!

Sadly haven't got a garage large enough the driveway is just about big enough we've got four cars on there currently and one of them is a discovery td5

Fair enoughsky! What type disco are you looking at? 200tdi/300tdi? td5?

[smithy3793]

300tdi, would love a td5 but can't afford one

Except tin worm! They are worse than Minis.

[smithy3793]

Well yeah but still end up getting one I think

I'm 42 and it cost my £130 to insure my standard 998 mini. My TVR 350i cost me £110 the previous year. Now that makes no sense that a 2 seater convertible with a 3500cc V8 engine is less to insure than a mini?
