Graham Sykes just gave me a quote of £1700 with my 53 yr old dad as the main driver and me named, Adrian Flux are £1,500 for me as main and my dad as named (won't do it the other way round) @ 5,000 m/per year or £1400 at 3000 miles per year...all at value of £6,500 (but apprently could make it £10k with no difference to the premium....sureterm wont insure anyone under 21 nor will kit car someone or other.....there must be someone who can beat this! Hope there is cos its like £130 a month at that price!!! Gonna try the NFU now......cheers. Oli.

Totalkitcar have a list of kit insurers

I've heard good things about MSM (not had a chance to use any of them yet though), but probably just a case of ringing round them all and see who can do you a good deal. Good luck
