we have insurance posts day in day out, it doesnt really matter about the car its the area you live in and your NCB that counts.

I was 20 with 0 No claims when I first bought my old one. Was about £1300 F/C with Elephant. If your 19 with a couple of no claims you should get a decent quote with Elephant/Admiral/Bell direct
