So its gone up about 25%. Thats how much insurance has gone up for our age group I am afraid, so unless you find a companyt that beats it, I doubt HIC will lower the quote.
That is a huge amount to be paying for an old golf in my opinion (I thought mine was bad at £850 for 350bhp).
Have you tried other insurers or a limited mileage policy?
Cars are getting to be a real luxury item it seems!

Um, is the aviva for 9months too? If it is, its really the same as the other quote if it is. about £20 in it.
Rung Sky insurance yet? Beat the nearest quote by £1K last year for me.
Remember the excesses and like-for-like bits too. Not sure aviva cover like for like.
How many miles a year you doing?
