MGB GT Insurance for 17yr old new driver?

[anonymous-user]

Hi chaps,

My son is interested in getting an MGB GT as his first car when he turns 17 later this year.

Anyone got any experience on what he is likely to expect from an insurance point of view? Will he be able to get insurance? Will it be cheap(er) since it is a 'classic', or will it be around the seemingly normal £2000 mark for any traditional learner cars?

Cheers!

Thanks all - most helpful.

I'll check up with the insurance companies and go from there. If it is all OK we'll be in the market in the autumn.

the other thing to say Steve is that BGTs aren't cheaper to insure than B roadsters, in fact often they are slightly more. When I was 19 it was cheaper for me to insure an MGC roadster worth 12k than my rubber bumpered BGT worth 1500. There is about sod all between a midget 948 and MGCgt in insurance cost so buy the car he wants.

Thanks again. I guess we'll have a good look round and buy the one with the best bodywork!!
