Hi Dan,Depends what you mean by young I guess… I was 23 when I bought mine. It is an S1 with a number of mods taking it to around 145 - 150bhp. I had 5 years no claims, lived in a low insurance area etc etc. Direct Line were (and still are) the best despite spending at least �20 every year on telephone calls to insurance companies. (�680 two years ago, just over �700 now apparently down to ‘other people’)BTW - if you have access to another car and you won’t be doing 000’s of miles, limit the mileage on the policy it will bring the premium down [image]http://www.exiges.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/cool.gif[/image]

Have you tried Lotus Esteem?They weren’t competitive for me a few months ago but after they’d changed underwriters I was pleasantly surprised.Ian [image]http://www.exiges.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/smile.gif[/image]
