That is third party... maybe its cos im 18 but believe me that is very cheap as i have tried practically every insurance company around. There is one that does over 19 yr olds called Adrian Flux and they do have a website and they were gonna insure me on a RS Turbo for ?1400 tpft, elepant.co.uk do this thing where you can get insured for 10 months and still get your NCB and that will cost me ?917 for golfgti8v.

Ahh I feel for you mate, I had that problem of getting a decent car when I was 18.... Ended up going for a 1.1 309 till I got some NCB behind me.... 2 months from getting 1 and then shunted a fiesta  >:(

do not go for elephant.co.uk 10mth bonus accelerator scheme, as your NCB you build up is not recognised by other insurance companies so you are stuck with them

the same DOESNT apply to the NCB with their normal 12mth insurance cover

HIC are now offering that scheme, didn't realise that the NCB aren't valid anywhere else :( Do other companies that promote the scheme accept em then?

Turns out they aren't offering that scheme, I'm paying monthly over ten months... Not for a 10month policy  :-[

As for insurance..... ?733 TPFT for a 1990 Golf GTi 16v  ;)

I have the Elephant 10month insurance. Not had any problems yet, but I've not renewed yet.
Mine was ?750ish fully comp for Mk3 16v, but now changing policy over to my Mk2 16v (the one in sig below with small bumper).
I'll probably do another 10month policy after this one, then transfer to Admiral (Elephant's parent company) who will recognise the bonus accelerator.

My Mk2 16v cost ?700 (without tax) in pretty good condition, all original.
From your description, I'd agree that ?2200 is a bit much, probably best to aim for ?1500-1800.
