If you dont use your car that often, you could use one of those daily insurance companies, have heard other people doing that in the past

why they gonna drop like fuck in value?!

Get it onto a classic policy if u dont drive it mate, you'll half the amount if u do less than 2k miles a year!!

When mine was last insured on classic a few years ago (been off road a while) i was quoted £400 FC on classic insurance with every single mod declared!! and theres a few lol. Prob be even less this year when its back on the road again

you're getting a raw deal mate £529 fully comp with no mods?

i was paying that for a stage 3 when i was 28, albeit, no points or crahses etc

try greenlight on here, you get a discount too, or try a classic policy

out of interest, who was that quote from?

mine is with boncaster was 300 full comp and they said anything stage 3 and over more than doubles the price... i thought they were the best priced when i shopped around 10 years ago but looks like i should look again.. although some classic policys ive heard havent been very helpfull in the event of an accident where boncaster were good for me..

keep it & shop around, takes time, but worth it in the long run, when I first got my RS I was 23 or 23, they had me paying £900 odd, so steep, but when I turned 25 it dropped to £325 fully comp with wheels & mods declared even done a agreed value in the price too That was with highway!!

Shop around hun & keep her

i shopped around for about a month mate, rang every company in the country

and its not cause its a 500 banger (which i hope its not lol) its because 1400cc is quite high as a first car, and i passed at 17 so they do you even more for that,
