After many years of wanting a coupe, finally had the pleasure and found a peach which took me round Europe and back and still going strong.
But think its time to sell as it just doesn't get used and I cant justify paying £137 a month insurance for 2 hours of driving on a weekend. Hopefully can go to someone who will use and enjoy it more than me.
Had lots of help on this site so thank you to the people out there in forum land.

Or get Sarah Fisher (now at Glynwood) to quote you for a limited mileage classic policy.

Wow, living in the city does make it more expensive, it's 77 a month for me, 23y/o 3 years no claims. Does a non turbo make much difference?

You guys pay a lot! My Ink Black 20VT6 costs me £270 per year via City Insurance in Salisbury. OK, I'm 54, but I only have 3 years no claims (due to many years driving company cars and no insurance of my own), but it's fully comp with 12,000 mile limit and a high (£500 excess), oh and Teignmouth is only a small town. My Yellow Plus costs about the same on a classic agreed value policy via Glynwood, but only 3,000 miles. This is because you can't use your no claims for more than one policy and you don't earn any no claims on classic policy. That's two 20VT Coupes insured for just over £500 per year. I'm OK with that.

Just £220 for me as part of an Admiral multi-car policy! Had I insured it separately it would have been just £180, but I have tried to help my lad out with his first car insurance which was £700 for 1.2 VW Polo!!!! Ok I'm now 48 and thankfully have lots of NCB, but my concern about how much the 20VT was going to be to insure proved unfounded. Well at least so far....

Is yours the purple coupe and are they aware of the colour change if that is the case?
Seems a tad expensive, even for a city.

Talk to Sarah at Glynwood Insurance . Unless you really want to get rid of the coupe I expect she will be able to do better on the limited mileage policy they offer to club members. You will have to join the club to take it up. (£15)
16VT and X1/9 1500
We must all do our part for the planet. I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using.
