Hahaha
They must be taking the p*ss?!?
My brothers mate, who is 19, got a quote, third party fire and theft only, on a J reg Ford Orion diesel (non-turbo) and it was £3867 - he nearly died.
I think you may be right - some companies must be having some insurance problems.

I got a quote for an impreza a couple of years ago when I was 21, and I thought it was for £1700. Which seemed ok. Then when I checked closer it was £1700 a month. Over 10 months that's 17000. Nearly died.

Big premiums are them saying they don't want your business.. 
I used to work for a company that wrote quotation systems - biggest quote we got the system to issue was for a 17 year old driving a lambo with a drink drive ban and a surname of Patel (IIRC) - was for around £50,000

sounds like there's a lot of little boy's out there wanting to play in the mans world of power.
Sorry, but this is only for us old geezers with atleast 5yrs no claims.
£740 per year for WR1, sweet
I can't see why you are all crying about the prices.
I was paying £1800 12 years ago when I was 22 for a 3 door cozzie.
There's no way around, you have the Pay to Play.
We've all been there

Cost me £780 to insure my RB5 in '99 (me was 26). Moved to Germany in 2000 and got full European cover and the price went upto £2200 
By 2002 it was £2600 
Now i'm 29 (just) and drive a German registered STi8 and it costs me €2600 (£1700) for full Euro cover.

While i was dribbling all over the Ferrari Enzo at our local dealers, the sales guy was telling me that the owner who is a local car collector, this being his 39th car on the policy, paid an extra premium of £20,000 to add it. For a car which will probably do less than 2k a year, and could never be stolen (if it was, who would you sell it on to, being as there are only 3 men in the world authorised to service it).

About 15 years ago I got quoted on a TVR S (remember them!!) over 3500 for fully comp. That's when 3.5k was a lot of money
Isn't there a way of making a legal declaration, thereby negating any need for insurance? This has got to be a cheaper way then paying in excess of 10k for insurance.

The winner of a 'who can get the highest insurance quote ever' competition was won by Rum* a year or so back(unfair advantage being an insurance broker 
) who obtained a quote for a 17 year old driver with 0 no claims, drink driving ban with diabeties/heart condition etc etc for a Ferrari F40 in Mosside. If I recall the winning premium was something like 52K per year.
It's probably about time we had a rematch.

I can beat that. Received a quote a few months back for £65,827. Cheapest was just over £38K, but that was with a slightly (cough!) higher voluntary excess.

Well I am bloody happy with Norwich Union who quoted me £270 TPFT for a 1994 WRX import! Ok, I am over 30 but still, it's bloody cheap. And no tracker needed!!! I looked for quite a while and they more than halved all other quotes. It's worth shopping around.

I was messing around looking for a quote for my Audi 90 Quattro last year on a site that does automatic quotes and for a laugh I put in a Lamborgini Murcialago to see what it came up with and it came up with ?
£250,000 (and I am not making this up)
