lol I had a 1.2 nova merit as well - white K reg 3dr with blue stripe - how cool did I think I was!!  Car cost me £1000 and was £1400 to insure! Got wrote off by a cavalier running up the back of me 6 month later, so went out and bought a red one, which I promptly rolled two weeks later  :redfaced:

Stayed away from novas ever since - I think they are cursed! (and a pile of poo compared to mk1's!)

i had a few nova's when i 1st past 1st one was stolen then had a 5dr heap then got a mint 1.3sr that was going to be scrapped i paid 20 quid for just needed re wirering which i done, spent all summer doing it, insured it 11days later a f ing heap of junk i.e saxo went straight up the back of me, never bothered again after that

VW 1300 Beetle, paid £90 for her, spent £60 getting a sill welded and a few other bits and bobs.
Insurance was £150, I only remember because it was the same as I paid to get the car and get it on the road !!
Showing my age now, this was 1986 !!

There's always one oldie that had cheap insurance years ago.  

Passed november 2005, had a 1.2 clio which cost £1200 to insure. Within the first year i had 2 claims and 3 points, then in 2007 i bought a 53 plate Mk4 golf 1.4 and cost £1950 to insure.

Still have the golf which now cost me £500, kawaskai ninja which is also around £500 and the mk1 which is the slowest and lot cheaper than the other two but is highest on insurance at around £700

Insurance companies have there funny ways don't they.

1979 Golf Gls 5dr green, £404 3rd party fire and theft 1991 8)

Mini 1.3 sprite at 17 cost me 500 nicker! and my insurance has been about that ever since cus the year after i had mk1 golf carb 1.8 and then after that a 1.8 gti then i got my tuned rivage and now it £300 and the polo to insure with that is an extra £70 cool 5 years no claims as well but 3 points!

Mini 1275GT cost me £1500 and £200 to insure, At 21 I got my first Golf GTI which cost £210 insure fully comp I only pay £300 a year for the Golf GT now and £85 for the motor bike. however I do feel for the younger drivers paying 4x's the worth of the car now.

It's no wounder people take the risk driving without insurance.

Corsa 1.2 Merit 5dr.

£900 fully comp - it's great being a girl!
