What do you expect? Your a young driver with 6 points on your license and don't have any no claims.

Not exactly the ideal person for an insurer.

try insure a 3dr on a classic car policy, that should be cheaper for you. most classic car policys start with no 'no claims' bonus because they are second cars for the weekends. how often would you use it?

If you really want a fright, get a quote for a escos

I think if you find a company that will your going to be looking at ££££'s as you need at least a couple of year ncb.

All the best

Will classic policies take under 25's now???

Mate I wouldn't bother, with no NCB & 6 points at 22 on a Cossie, you're pissing into the wind. Buy a runabout for a couple of years.
