Hello everyone,

Got a question for you all and I thank you all for your responses before there are any.

I have a 1989 (F) escort xr3i cabriolet and im having problems getting it insured. It's a second car, my primary is a 1.7 cdti 59 plate astra and im paying 1200 a year to insure it.

Im 19 and the cheapest quote ive had for my escort is 3500+ is there anyway i can get like 6month insurance or classic insurance so i can drive it or do i have to wait til i'm 25?

Thanks again for the responses

 

could get pay as you drive on it

 

who would you recommend to try for something like that?

 

admiral and companies of the likes theres also multi car policy too

 

Search fairer insurance. There are a few that will for gps and charge by driving style and mileage, worth a try.

 

all prices im getting are still extortionate... I suppose my only option is wait til im 25 and get classic insurance on it? Unless someone else can point me in a better direction?

 

Most companies are 25+ but there are some at 21+.

Which still doesn't help you

I've just renewed my mk4 Popular for Ł807 with Tesco, I'm 20...

 

do you have any no claims and what litre is your popular?

 

Just the one, and it's a standard 1.3 bud.

 

hmm... mines a convertible and 1.6 which is maybe why im not getting the desired prices at 20 :/

 

Have you tried any classic insurance places? Might find one or two that are 19+.

It's daft really, I can get insured on a R5GTT for less than the Escort

 

Just a thought, if you don't have it down as commuting, it'll plummit, my mate insured a 2.0 240 Volvo at 19 for Ł60 a month!

 

i've tried a couple based on what a few people have suggested but the quotes are extortionate. Especially as my escort will be an infrequently used car. :/ Majority of the year it will be locked in the garage.
