A-Plan and Greenlight Insurance is also worth considering.

Fuming!! Keith Michaels wont insure me as i have no experience of a high performance car in the last 12 months, depsite the fact that i have owned the following since passing my test...Nissan 200SX, Toyota Supra, Toyota Soarer, Toyota MR2...

Cheapest quote so far is with Elephant @ £1054 a year and £500 excess....

Another vote for Admiral, try adding your Mum as a named driver, saved me a few quid

Picking the car up tomorrow, managed to sort the insurance with Elephant for £995 with my wife as a named driver so not all bad in the end.

Thanks for all your help!
