refused insurance
oh dear...
just got refused insurance on my kit from 2gether.
"We no longer insure under-25s on 2 seater sports cars unless they have significant experience of driving that type of vehicle".
Any other options for a young driver (23)?

Adrian Flux and Footman James 
What engine size is it?
Rules have changed recently it seems so that its almost impossible to get insurance on a bike engine or 2 litre car engine if under 25.

Quite right....
Allstyles give very good quotes, but they needed a Cat 2 approved immobiliser for my policy, which I dont have. Though this was down to the agreed
value I believe. So I ended up paying more with 2gether in the end.

I will keep you all updated on my progress
Adrian flux:
£954 just for me doing 3000 miles in a year £7500 value.
Putting my old man on the policy (a must) will "significantly" increase that
ETA: two weeks ago I got a quote for £230 from 2gether. Now this... If I can't get a quote for less than £500 with just me on the policy doing
less than 5000 miles then I'm literally going to have to sell it.
what a ballache!

Adrian Flux seem to generally have high prices. I will be very surprised if Allstyles dont get you a quote under £500.

Can you look at this from a different angle?
If you and your dad will be driving the car equal amounts then why doesnt he take out a policy and then add you as a named driver?
I do this with my TVR, its all above board and gets around the age issue...

ive asked each place about having my dad as the registered keeper and me as a named driver and they've refused to quote for that situation.
the thing is my dad has a sp10, cu80 (so 6 points in total) and a £1200 claim.

Still not heard anything back from allstyles.

I'd say "well it's a good thing I've got lots of experience driving 2 seater sports cars then"

I had that question asked when I insured an Elise. I had done Caterham days and Palmer days and they said that was fine.
Ask them if a Caterham day counts as experience and if so get yourself booked on one £200 and jobs a carrot, plus you'll have a great day out

Is this a renewal or will this be the first time you've been insured on a rear wheel drive sports car?

MSM or maybe sureterm. Or as mentioned get on a couple of caterham days. The slalom day that they sometimes organise is good fun (there might even be
a pistonheads one on the go soon)
