cheap insurance for younger drivers
same advice as the others, adrian flux and admiral were the best for me. try putting older relatives (especialy women) on the policy, it actualy knocks money off alot of the time, they think you will be sharing the car between some experienced drivers. limiting the mileage helps alot as well. make sure you get your own no claims built up though, it will pay off in the future.

I live in a medium risk area, and it would be parked in the street.
Budget (the company who's currently ripping me off for my daily driver) actually offered me a decint deal for my mk1.
I was quoted ?571.91 for a 1.3 driver fc (in my own name)
and ?1321-ish for a 1.8 gti fc (imon)
My first year of driving was not a cheap one! Lol realising my golf would'nt be ready for me being road legal i decided to hp a group 4, w reg 1.4 lx 206 3dr. It cost me as a named driver ?2063 for the year fc! (Because of hp it had to be insured fully comp) See my problem was to insure a group 13 206 gti fc in my own name would have cost ?2080. Where is the justice in that?:evil: Unfortunetly i only found out a month prior to the end of my policy!
So a sick young lad i was!
I just though i'd share this seeing im younger and hate insurance too!

Shopping around really is key. Try putting parents on your policy as this helps too. Limiting the mileage is a key factor also.
As already mentioned, it dependent on your post code at the end of the day.
I was 18 when I was looking for insurance and finally got a quote for ?1200 odd pounds with zero no claims bonus. I do seem to remember that there was a policy that had 'classic' status at 19 though. :dontknow:
Hope this helps and good luck!

Still 19, and with zero years no claims.
Going to try;
HIC
Liverpool Victoria
Adrian Flux
Budget
Lancaster
Any other's spring to mind. Really do need a classic policy so I can get an agreed valuation, as my car is worth a couple of pennies more than the ?500 they would pay out at trade price. :roll:

So basically, if it dies/burns/stolen, ?500(market value) my way and that is all. Can't get agreed value if you are still a kid.
Considering I just got a quote for rear panel replacement and spray at ?900, and in the summer I got new wings, front panel and put on a jig (to straighten the whole thing up) for almost twice that, I think that I will not be in the mk1 game for too much longer. :dontknow:
