crikey! mines ?200 a year. fully comp, park on street, 15k per yr. full no claims and 36 in da post code. age and no claims do make a difference but that sounds extortionate.
they obviously think im a hairdresser, or worse, "emo"

Yep, it does seem high. Some companies just don't like anything except family cars, they'll still insure others but will bump up the premium, as they have done in your case. Asda is for groceries, I think, in this case…
im going to shop for food at sainsburys from now on, i think your right on the "dont like anything but family cars" ive also been told it might be the lack of seatbelts in the back….

Hmmm, seatbelts. Its either modified or it isn't…. Can't you simply bolt back in the lap belts that a cabby came with? You could convincingly say its not modified, just a "work in progress" WRT the belts, and if you didn't sit anyone in the back, there's no problem.

no one ever goes in the back, and ive had those seats out repeatedly and cant see any bolting points, however, i shall go err "buy" some and give it a bash when she comes back from timski's garage of wonder.

Did you tell the insurance company there's no seatbelts in the back of the car?

ok ill get onto tim at some point and ask him to re check those seats for me, maybe its not that, maybe its because i live in the town center… maybe its because i work for the government, or maybe its ebcause i live with dirty students.
this needs some more investigation methinks

that shouldn't really affect the price that much though, surely?
