I'm thinking of getting my first sports car, but I'm also looking for something that's relatively cheap (for a sports car) to insure, so probably around the current insurance group 25. Basically any cheap RWD 2 seater/coupe will do.

I've come up with so far:

192PS Mazda RX8 - Group 27
Gen1/2 Mazda MX5 - Group 23-26
Toyota MR2 - Group 27

But I haven't had much luck finding anything else, anyone else got any ideas?

Problem with a classic policy is that I'd have to go as a named driver with a parent as the main driver as I wouldn't have a second car...do they even allow that?

19...but I'm pretty sure you can only get classic car insurance if the car is not the only car you drive, is that correct?

NO INSURANCE COMPANIES ALLOW THIS - IT'S CALLED FRONTING AND IS INSURANCE FRAUD.

Sorry for shouting, but it's very important. Most insurance companies will allow a classic as the only car (Mine was my only car for a while and it wasn't a problem, even for commuting) but you'll have trouble finding a classic policy under 21 now, as they have tightened up on it a lot.
I never said I would be the main driver. It's only fronting if the policy holder rarely or never drives the car, which almost certainly wouldn't be the case as my father is a keen car nut as well.

I'm still not really getting any conclusive answers on whether it would be possible to be a named driver on classic car insurance, although if anyone knows any insurance firms that let you insure a classic when it's your only vehicle that would be much appreciated.

Thanks for the suggestion, but Lancaster currently only accept drivers 21 or over. Anyone else got any ideas?
