    Default what effect will this have on my insurance,

    i don't really use my 4 door saloon these days but i fancy turning it into a single seater, stripped out with a cage, but what sort of effect will this have on insurance will it go up or down as id only use it for the odd 1/4 mile and track day but it will still be a legal road car ?

    Adding a cage puts insurance up

    A cage is one of the single worst things you can do to a car insurance wise...have a play with some of the insurance comparison websites and see!

    If you're only going to use it very occasionally, look at limited mileage policies. That should drop the price down.

    It isn't at all.. but it could be on comparison sites as they (generally speaking) shy away from modified car insurance.

    You are looking at about a 15% increase with my company. I cannot comment for other insurers.

    My insurance on the Nova or the MR2 didn't increase at all with the rollcages. Both cars were already heavily modified though.

    That is because both are generally set up for standard UK car insurance, whilst they can insure modified cars, this is not their speciality.
