you'll get insured on a 1.6 sport for that i reckon. i managed it with the same circumstances (in fact i only had 1 years named driving experience)
i tried getting quotes on a 1.5 lsi EG civic and they were coming out at £1500 whereas the corsa was £1200

1100 fr a corsa gsi in my first year of driving with quinn direct. just put in you have 2/3 years driving experience on company vehicles and it knocks about £400 off the premium.

Not void, just obtained through fraudulent means. However id like for any insurance company to get proof that i was lying then anyway. Its a paperless trail

Put it you have for 2 years then, seriously it makes all the difference!
As for the Classic escorts. Id like you to find one that doesnt need a complete resotiration for less than 4k!

Your getting your pants pulled down on insurance. Corsa 1.4 sport, go to confused.com or quinn direct and i bet your quoted 900-1100 max.
