    Good luck , the reason nova's are cheap on insurance for most is because we go through classic car insurance but with you being 17 you wont get that, most companies dont do classic insurance for under 25's

    Put it back to standard and try again, or get a cheap £200 Corsa/Micra/other shatbox to run about in for a couple years until you have some NCB.

    Mind you, isn't £4k about the going rate for first time driver insurane these days?!
