oh god insurance, i hate it. I pay £1700 a year third party fire and theft on my dads insurance (who has about 20 odd years no claims) for a mark 2 valver! cripples my account every month when i have to pay it but i am not bothered because i love it.
End of the day if the quote you get isnt what you hoped for, i would still insure it (and buy the car) it will be worth while in the end!
