Car spec: GTI 16 valve (mark 2)
Car age: 1990
Mods: None (declared anyway)
Car value: £1500
Car security: alarm and imobiliser
parked: on the driveway

Driver age: 19
male/female: male
Driver no-claims: 0
Approx location: PR2 (Preston)
Driving convictions: 3 points but arent on license yet, thus not on policy

Insurance cover (3rd party, fully comp) On My dads insurance - 3 Party fire and Theft
Insurance company: elephant.co.uk
Insurance company tel number/website: www.elephant.co.uk

Insurance price: £1700 pay monthly (there or there abouts)

(I think because there has been 3 different cars on this policy, it has gone up due to their being a shorter time for which to spread the cost over - policy started in april)

Scandalous that isnt it! £143 a month i works out as!

Update on this^^^

I added the Scirocco (1.8 GT - carb) to the policy aswell, so two cars, one policy worked out at £153.08p per month

With elephant.co.uk you can add a second car as a temporary car on a month to month basis were u have to ring up every month if you want it insured for the upcoming 4 weeks. Which i found quite handy when i had to pick up the scirocco, meant i didnt have to fart about trying to get a new policy just so i could collect it!
