Mk 1 for my son
Discussion
hey...my petrol head son (15) is thinking of saving up for an MX5 for when he passes his test (yes I know it is 2 years away) the question is.....if he got a mark 1, and insured it through a classic car insurance scheme would it be affordable?......has any other young person ever bought one and been able to afford the insurance?
cheers (at least he has great taste!)

Thanks for the replies.....it is tempting to go for it.....I know some of them can be a massive drain on the pocket, but what a "first car!"
buying one and spending a couple of years doing it up, and learning the value of his car might make him not want to bend it!
He will be getting very very well trained to drive.....by me! (driving instructor last 13 years...fleet trainer...rospa/iam etc...... so that part of it does not concern me......I have seen some can get very good deals on insurance and just wondered if any PH here knew of a good deal for 17 year olds on insurance...... most of my customers are paying 4 figure sums on 1.0 lire micra's et..... so he might as well spend similar or less and have a decent car to drive
cheers
