Default Can i get insured..

hello guys its an insurance question with regards to a cosworth!
I really want a cosworth like every1 does but i would only be able to get a saff 2wd and was wondering how tough it would be to get insured with my stats:

im 22
3years NCB
student at uni
part time driver
oh and 6 points on my liscence

is it possible at all? if so where could i get insurance from??

many thanks

I was 23, no no claims as had been on my parents policy, no points, 2wd sapphire with a stage 1. 1200pounds 3rd party with Admiral. They were really good and as I only had it insured for a month they gave me a very good rebate as well.
Oh and was a uni student in final year.

I would recommend them

Hi matey, I'm 22 with a Saff Cos 4x4 worth 8k, I've got 4 yrs no claims, and I paid £1100 with protected no claims! Give Dominion Plan a ring. You must be an RSOC member, but for £30 quid, its well worth it!!

Do ya have a second car Craig? As I've been told you can't just have one car on a limited mileage, as that is what I'd like to do for next year. Make it a bit cheaper

Arse. Cant be bothered with a second as I have the use of the works van, but because its not in my name that doesn't count, even if i do about 20k a year in it
How much will a stage 2 put me insurance up by do ya recon? It'll be running about 300bhp @18psi.

Sweet, not as bad as I thought. Mines running std at the mo, so 300bhp is on the right side of safe without havin to fork out on gearboxes, big brakes, hybrids etc.... Should make hell of a difference though, and have the edge on the stage 1 boys.. All for around £700. CheeRS Craig
