Or rather advice needed on how to get it cheaper than me insuring a Countach.

My daughter is now 17 and wants to start driving, so I picked out this badboy as an example of a reliable but boring first car

just to give me an indication of how much the insurance would be for something they would normally have to pay you to drive. I currently drive an MX5 BBR turbo for about £300 per year due to being an old codger, so knew I was in for a shock.. I thought it might be about the cost of the car for just third party.

However ...



That's more of a shock than Frankenstein's monster got during the birth delivery.

A couple or 3 questions :-

1.Am I actually doing something wrong here with asking for the quote?

2. Am I doing it the wrong way and should be putting her on my insurance? How does her NCB then build up?

3. Any tricks and tips to stop my hair going even more grey ? smile


I tried to choose the most non racy car ever to give me the smallest quote. I must have gone wrong somewhere I guess. Or else it is just like that and it is no wonder young people are now not learning to drive.

Any help for me and fellow numpties at buying car insurance for our next generation much appreciated.
