Wow that's young for a 20vt. I couldn't afford insurance on a 20vt until I was over 30!

I was 28 when I got my 1st coupe which was a 16v non-turbo. I think the insurance was about €1,400 IIRC

the same as on the log book it says 20vt... if you go for a classic policy they would probably hold more value

VTs are group 18, LEs group 19 and Pluses group 20.

I just don't get how young people can get quotes like that for these cars. I'm 30, never had an accident, have no points, hold an advanced driving licence, am entitled to around 50% NCD and still struggle to come in much under £650...

I was 18 when I first started to drive my 20VT! Just turned 19 at the start of July and decided it wasn't worth it for the time being, Insurance was still a MONSTER!!!!!

So I've decided to put the coop off the road for a year and spend the money on a respray instead. laugh laugh laugh laugh
