I'm not sure on that mate, my stepson has a Fiesta Zetec S and the insurance wasn't too bad - through Quinn direct!

As Pm Mike

Going to have to look elsewhere for a little run around for our Shain , I cannot believe the hike in insurance premiums from only holding a UK provisional license , to then passing your test & getting a full UK license the insurance increases by £2 - £3k !!

Shame as it looks a nice little motor

Best of luck with the sale

Because he will be on his own driving the car (and wont have a nagging mother to tell him to slow down lol) really gutted as the car would have been a lovely little first car.
