SRi and Sport are both in the same group but insured value would be different so you might see a difference there. Having said that some insurers rate older cars a bit higher as they're more likely to be a total loss and are "easier to steal". They're not as they both use the same locking system but I've heard that in the past when I changed from an N reg to an R reg - there was actually a decrease because the R reg was more modern and thus they thought more secure. It wasn't, same parts in the doors. Just them guessing.
Spend some time in the online quote systems and run a few sample cars through there.
If you need cars to try -
N26CKC is a 1.2 LS
L711DNC/M131WEM are both 1400 8v SRi
N640DKA is a 1400 16v Sport
R960LCB is a 1.2 Breeze (LS with extra bits)

Indeed they are. Tesco.com etc. will ask for a reg plate first and its often quicker doing that than going through their car picker pages.
