They specialize in young drivers. You get a brand new car WITH cashback. The cashback is to go towards your premium. I got a quote the other week and my cashback was actually more than the premium so my insurance could have been paid outright, then i had to pay something like 280 a month for the car.

Its certainly not the ideal route to go down unless he has a steady stable job that he can rely on, but it is an option nonetheless. Newer cars are cheaper to insure for obvious reasons, so he may be best going down this route and getting a few no claims behind him.

Another option is Paul @ Need2Insure. Hes suggested quite a lot on here and insures the majority of the cars i think. I don't have a number but i'm sure somebody will be happy enough to post it. Just mention passionford sent you!
