Trouble getting insured

lndy17 · Mar 24, 2018

Hi all, I'm 17 and have been saving up for ages in the hope of getting a defender. I've tried various insurance websites but no one can give a good price. I was just wondering if anyone had any inside knowledge of companies who are good for insuring land rovers?

Define "good price" for me please?

I pay £101+pence on a 1992 Land Rover Discovery, live on a small island in the South of England and have had a full driving licence for decades with 0 claims in over a decade.

You at 17 have just passed your test, have no driving experience, have no driving history and are planning on buying one of the easiest stolen vehicles in history, where you live at this point make absolutely no odds from a tower block in Brixton to a gated Oxford suburbian estate.

I'd be amazed if you were quoted less than £3,000 and I would imagine £5~7,000 would be about right.

Agree, sounds about right. He'd be better off getting a small banger for a year to gain experience and a small NCD.
I pay just under two hundred for my Audi tt 225 in London, un garaged, four hundred euros here for my Freelander.
I guess getting on a bit sometimes has it's advantages.

Hi do you insure your Disco as a classic ?
Adrian flux said my Audi is now considered a classic as 18 now.
All I need is to say I have use of another everyday car which I have.
Never bothered yet as I consider 200 silly money.
Insurance here ( Lanza ) is relatively expensive as the car's insured not the driver, also if you do have a whoopsey it tends to be expensive ( falling off the road into an extinct volcano seems popular )
