Try the insurance section and you will get some leads as to who to try.

I'm with Gary M at Kieth Michaels and he is . He is very popular on here and busy been with them for 3 going on 4 years and have nothing but good stuff to say about him. Just make sure you speak to him as he is the scooby specialist.

It usually goes by the post code you live in with insurance companies, so if there is a high auto crime rate in that area its always more. I use admril for my classic turbo and pay about £850 with 2 years ncb and im 26.

bingo, its heavily influenced by postcode. am 32, i was on admiral last month i was quoted £1200 for a renewal on my rb5, thats with 6 years ncb. did fake quotes and prices went tumbling, theres a link somwhere with "high risk" postcodes..

i of course told them where to shove it and went with keith michaels

edit: to the OP, what happens to your quotes if you say you're not a driving instructor?

Who's that with, mate? I've got an STI to insure when I hit 21! That's a really good price.

I'm 30yo - 0 points - 6yr NCD

Just got my first Scooby, an Import WRX Type RA (previously had a 400hp FD3)

I was struggling for a quote BUT I took the advice of the seller of the car and tried Aviva, came out at 451 online (490 with protected NCD)... Interestingly Aviva on the phone were 636!!!

The specialists couldn't top 1013 between them...

Needless to say I'm with Aviva

Thanks for that. Admiral have been the best in the 'Fantasy' comparison quotes I've been doing. Did you phone them directly? Might have to do that when the time comes.
