A Pointless Post - Insurance?

[Ikemi]

I have a car and I'd like to buy another - I've seen one in the classifieds, which is being sold privately. It's possible for me to (just about) purchase the new car, own both and then sell the Elise in a few months. However, is there any way I can minimize my outgoings with regards to insurance? Even though the Elise lives on a private road/car park, I'm still going to need insurance for test drives ... ?

Would day insurance rack up quite quickly, or do I just bite the bullet?

I managed to get 30 day cover with my existing insurer on the previous car while it was being sold. This was the maximum they would allow at the time.

Classic policy on the Elise?
