Would it be cheaper for my son to insure a kitcar?
If so anyone know of any for sale
A lot depends on what age he is, what type of kit car, which engine, annual miles etc etc, probably best ring a few companies and get some quotes.
it is possible.but im sure he'd be a lot safer,warmer,dryer,happier,and less stressed if he had a car with a roof and doors
I'm sure when my brother, who was 19 at the time, looked into it there wasn't that great a saving without limitting the milage or having it as a second car. Look around though, insurance is a strange game, I mean go on a comparison site, then go on it the next day and all the prices will have changed.
I looked at this 15 years ago,it wasn't cheap because I would have had to limit mileage. And considering the crashes I've had despite being a very careful driver (non-fault) I'd be dead if I'd been in a kit car. Your call.
I have a couple of kit cars with doors and roof and although not as safe as a modern tin top, they'd be as safe as a 'classic' car. Which brings me onto another suggestion.... Try getting some quotes for classic cars as they are often a lot cheaper. As a yoof, my 20 year old Landrover cost a fraction of a newer Landy and any other modern car.
A mates daughters first car is an MG Midget 1098, cheaper to insure and very cool for an 18 year old
