Hi all,
Just got an insurance quote for the Locost spec:
1300cc Crossflow
Registered 1999 as locost 7 Kit
1500miles Limited
Garaged etc.
No Claims points etc.
Im 19 with 2 years no claims.
I have tried adrian flux and it came up at £788 per 12Month, does anyone think this is steep.
Is there anybody else who I could try.
Thanks in advance.
Ian
1500miles!! That’s a ridiculous price, I'd have told them to F%^k off!

Try putting you Dad / mum on the insurance it dropped mine no end
That’s what I was going to say, but still a terrible price.

Agreed with above, but that seems massively over priced.
Try the other companies FJ etc. When i did my insurance the price diffferences were massive. I know i am a bit older but i wrote the motorbike off
in June last year and they paid out £6150 for it so some insurance companies would not touch me others were wanting over £500. I am probably still
paying over the odds at £300 FComp 3,000 mile and i am 30 years old.
Best of luck
Footman James were the cheapest for me.

Footman James came up at £1032 third party at 1500 limited miles! Bo**ocks
Sureterm were the cheapest for me

Flux will nearly always do a deal if you tell them you've been quoted cheaper elsewhere - worth a try just don't ge too optimistic with the "other" quote if you genuinely can't find cheaper.
For a 19 year old i think thats not out the way. Bear in mind my bro inlaw is paying 700 quid for a 1.1 escort with his dad on his policy.
I know its a specialist car but its still a sports beast and your 19... Dont be expecting it to be cheap./..
What policy are we talking here, fully comp or TPF&T?
TP F&T should be cheaper, fix it if you crash ;-)
Another thought, if you can't get it cheaper find out if you can improve your policy for the same price, i.e. if you up your mileage to 6000 will
your premium go up at all?
You could try Graham Sykes, I had to reduce my miles right down, but they offered a "rebuild it myself" option thing and that brought it
down considerably!

Thats not bad considering you're only 19 with 2 years driving experience and trying to get insured on a pocket rocket. I'm building a Vortx next year and got a quote for £690 for 5k limited mileage age 23 but I know I can prob get that done to £500 or so through MSM.
At 19 that's not too bad... bear in mind that there isn't much on the road to touch it in terms of performance.

Try these chaps
Performance Direct
They were shed loads cheaper for me. I got their number out of PPC mag. I can't recommend these folks as I've never had to claim but the
quote was excellent!
Im 23, used no no-claims, and am paying £266 fully comp for my GTS 2.0L zetec.
As long as the engine size is under 2001cc, it makes no diffeence to policy price.
Got my parents on it, by best mate, but the thing that makes it cheap for me is the fact I live in the middle of nowhere.
With Sureterm by the way
wow, footman james i was 17 when i first insured MYSELF on a 1.6 pinto kitcar and cost me £800 now im 20 iv had a wright of (Ford KA)(£4500) and had the kit repaired (£1500) and its still only at £400, try footman james again,
It is worth bearing in mind that the cheap quoting car insurance firms very rarely pay out the full amounts or delay paying as long as possible.
