you'll struggle on a 1.4 mate, try churchill or direct line, a 1.2 for my first year was 1300 fully comp which is good

[Rysee]

It's a shame the 1.4 SR is a group 7, a 1.3 SR is only group 5 makes a hell of a lot of difference

If its standard, try comparison websites to begin with. Sometimes adding a more experienced second driver will help lower the premium.

Pick up the phone and ring as many insurance companies as you can, make a note of the best prices and play them off against each other.

At the end of the day, a group 7 car - especially a Nova - will be expensive to insure as a first car. Expect to pay at least £1500.

I wouldn't try Sky in this instance, as he'll have 0 NCB and I believe they required >19 years old with >2NCB.

[jakeufton]

well we both live in uttoxeter area st14 and thanks for the heads up on sky ;)

[Joe Richardson]

yep 1.3 SR's are cheaper than 1.4 SR's !!!!!

I pay £1900 on my sr,any it's only used 6 months through the year lol lol

[SR-Rally]

start ralling and insure it as competition car ;) i pay 1300 a year and covered to do road rallys and road sections between stage rally. everything declared and agreed valuation of £3500 and no limitations other then under 1400cc on my policy. but you have to join motor club and prove you rally :s

[jakeufton]

err think the rallying thing is slightly irrational lol he just want a decent price so any where under like 2 grand...

[SR-Rally]

lol yup. although rallying is awsome:thumb:

correct!!

[clemo]

try fully comp as well as 3rd party fire and theft because when i bought my sri i was going to go 3rd party fire and theft but just thought id try a quote on full and it turned out to be cheaper for some reason might just be my age but worth a try anyway. ( just dont go on parents insurance i made that mistake first year coz it was a lot cheaper but come the second time round when i got my own insurance it was still as expensive coz i had no no claims

[jakeufton]

i lost my first and only years on claims its a very very ironic story really
