HELP!! CAR FOR NEW DRIVER 17y/o

[tommehh1]

Hi,

I have just had my 17th birthday and am looking for my first car. Before my birthday, my dad bought me a 1991 MK2 Golf 1.6 Driver, although we have had to regrettably sell it after not getting an insurance quote much under £4500 My dad said he's going to get me a corsa or something similar ie. clio, ka etc.... which at the end of the day I would love just because it's a car, but I won't to drive something a bit different and something that I would genuinely love like the golf.

So basically my question is what classic/'nice' cars are out there on Ebay, Autotrader etc that are going to cost less than £1500 and won't have to be insured for much more than £2000.

Any suggestions would be great
Thanks

Thanks for all the suggestions.
I think I'll have to go with something a bit more reliable and cheaper to run for the first year and then see how much my insurance decreases, hoping to keep a NCB as well.

Just wondering about what shoestring7 said, and how it's possible to get insurance that cheap on a MK2 for a 17 year old. I suppose I'll just have to look around for lots of different quotes.
