Get it as a named driver is your bet best. Will work out cheaper for the next couple of years whilst you get experience in it. I'm 24 have an 03 blob, my mrs is 22 and we get it for £800 with my dad as the main driver. That's with admiral

to be honest, i said i hadnt bought the car yet, thinking it would give them inspiration to go cheaper for me, try and move it to a different postcode of a relative (maybe a less criminal area) then say it parks at your postcode overnight, i live in quite a **** area, when it was insured and overnight parked at my dads it was £726, cost an extra £100 to have it parked in my postcode overnight, i thought was worth the £100 in case some little ****** tries to have fun in it one night and plasters it into a ditch for me lol
anyways, thats was with my old man having 9 yrs no claims, and me with use of another vehicle (company car inc s,d + p) and less than 5000 miles annually on the scooby
might be worth a try?

I would say that you have had experience with other performance cars. Name a few to them.
My insurance company asked me what my previous cars were as I had just bought my Impreza . Over the years I had an MR2 turbo and a Supra , so this really helped me.
Try this?

I insure mine through Tesco, iv had it since I was 23, I'm now 31 and no one has been able to get close to what I pay. Give them a try. Unfortunately as already said 1 years NCD is what's holding you back.

No worries mate, no one has come close to Tesco prices in 7 years, never had any issues with them. I tried a plan and Keith micheals over the years but the only way they could beat was in a one off payment which I don't have!!

Is your dad the owner of the car though? Does he drive it mainly and more so than you or your Mrs?
If not, it's basic insurance fraud and there are insurers on here who can and will use this information to refuse payouts etc.
I know it happens, how do you think all these young un's have nice cars and pay for the insurance? But the idea is you don't boast or encourage such activities on a supposedly grown up forum for perfomance cars.
To the OP, I genuinely suggest you DO NOT try the above advice or any other "tweaks" such as postcode changes to lower the price. If it did come to claim time (whether it be your claim or a claim against you), the insurers check in order to try wrangle out cost on their part.
That's why everything on my policy for example is 100% legit.
For the record I'm with Gary Moulson through Keith Michaels. I'm 28, 3 points, 1 non fault accident, 5 years protected NCB and renewal was £575.

If it's your car, and the logbook is in your name, you're wasting £800... as you are not insured... the policy is void.
