as said admiral or elephant, try adrian flux and brentacre insurance for the mod heads out there, depends where you live as well, my brother was messing about with a qoute for an R32 and got a qoute for 1300£ fully comp, reason being is the area we live is pretty much full of old people who dont drive and we have private parking in a quiet out of the way corner of the world with only one entrance to the houses on our road, pretty bad ass cause everyones living room covers some aspect of the street as well so good security there and no crime rates in the last 2 years to speak of  :laugh: apart from the obvious swearing every other day when im out tending to my car and getting cut or jamming my finger in places it shouldnt go  :whistle:

your paying near 3 times the cars value on insurance  :shocked: :shocked:

y reg on genuine 63k £900/950? worth more than that...

Not particularly.  Mine's a T reg with a genukne 49k on it and I got told I could expect about £950 if it's in completely mint condition.  I think it'd go for a bit more than that, but yeah the point still stands.  That insurance quote comes to far far more than the value of the car.

But if the OP can afford it, and he loves the car, then get on with it  :smiley:  When you're old like me it'll be < £500 a year  :wink:
