Do you have to be 21 to get insured on a kit car and do you know any good companies?

 

My friend has a Dax Rush V8 and he is insured with Footman James who have a seperate kit car insurance. it cost my mate something like 240 quid fully comp

 

If you do a limited mileage scheme it can be very cheap even for youngans. I would imagine thats lots of insurance companies would advertise in the kit car mags.

 

Got mine when I was 18, but that was a few years ago now.

 

They're often EXTREMELY cheap to insure if you go to the right company's, cost for performance wise. Brother at ~21 was paying ~£200 for 6k miles a year on a sub 4 second to 60 2 litre Fisher Fury. I assume it's because people are more careful about hitting other cars when there's only a bit of plastic protecting them.

Several companies seem to charge you for e.g. a "2 litre lightweight kit" and not make a blind bit of difference if it has a tired 2ltr pinto or a 2 litre touring car engine. Adrian Flux were one, a couple of others who's names I forget, but check out the kit car mags

 

my Dads westy is a 2ltr pinto. To add me (18) for 4 months was £460. Daft or what. If it had been my mates 2ltr (210bhp Zetec) then that would be a bargain.

Gunna check again in June when im 19 gettin old

 

msm insurance, sureterm direct + many others. Do a search on wscc.co.uk, pistonheads, blatchat etc.

 

extremely cheap to insure, adrain flux probably the best
