just wondering i will be starting driving next year and i was wanting to know an estimate price i will have to pay on a Mazda mx-5 engine locost. i had an rough estimate of £1600 a year for the complete car.

Give us a clue! Post code, age, NCB, convictions/points....?
I pay £98/year for a 3ltr V6 kit car!

I'm guessing at under 20? In which case 1600 seems a good price!

I reckon will be 17 soon....
best bet is to do the research now. However, things can change rapidly in the insurance market (happened a couple of years ago with classics. All the classic insurers went from being reasonably priced for under 25's, to refusing insurance to new people and huge cost increases for renewals. All caused by so many jumping on the bandwagon. Could happen to kits............)

I pay £170 a year for 1000 miles of driving. But I'm 45
