If I'd have had 5yrs no claims would have been more like £700!! When it comes to these types of performance cars, when you're over 21, no claims starts to be weighted more heavily than your age.

Best.

If he HAS to have a P1 then named driver will most likely be the more affordable or only way.

From: The Terry Crews of moderation. P P P P P P POWER!!

Then I'd recommend looking at another Scooby with less rock solid residules. You can get a good 2002 Sti for about 15k these days which gives you a few more grand to splash out on the insurance! Don't forget to budget for the servicing and fuel costs too!

Best.
