Insurance - 2000 quid!!!!!!
I got a quote for insurance of an MK indy yesterday - 2 grand!!
Ok, so i did spec it with a rover V8, and the quote was for 12 months, unlimited mileage. I am also 22. is this normal. I "only" pay 1000
for my P reg Audi A4 TDI.
If people are prepared to say, how much does everyone get stung on insurance??
Am wondering whether building a car is at all possible: HUMPH.
Cheers
Ed.
P.S. Spose a Pinto might help the insurance a little: 2 litre, not 3.5

Ed,
Go for smaller cc and lower miles with a specialist company - these are the key to getting lower insurance.
Ok I'm thirty (not that old you gits!) but £175 on a basic fully comp policy is not unusual.

I should be paying around £900 for 12 months limited to 3000 miles. Thats with a very tuned pinto, they didnt care what had been done to ir, as long
it wasnt turboed. That was with Graham Sykes. Im 19 by the way.
