I paid about £1100 on a 1.2 nova when i was 17 and had just passed my test (9yrs ago!) and that was with Diamond.

I used confused.com and found this company www.ecarinsurance.co.uk
I paid just over £300 TPFT for my MR2, but im 26 now and 4yrs ncb. They quoted £500 and something TPFT on the scooby.
Only £150 excess, full RAC cover for £50 and you can do it all online.
