Insurance is a killer and not gonna be cheap for a 4x4, but get a few quotes first to see what it comes out like nearer the time, I remember I paid 1600 for a ****e 1.0l vw polo when I was 17, then about 1k when I was 19 for a 1.8tdci ford focus, bloody rip off

excactly im aiming for a old classic like a mk 3 Cortina or escort Rs because I had a look on insurance and it said 2 and a half grand which is reasonable but I would like an old classic haha love capris but hard to find a non rotten one
2.5k for insurance
?? That's quite a lot! And remember some policy's will go up once you trade in your provisional licence for a full when you pass your test.

Is that with everything declared?
I've found bell/admiral to be good in the past for a young driver.
Last time I was with them they fitted a box, I still drove like I normally do and never logged on to see my results but it brought the premium down loads just by having it fitted.
