I had a series 3200tdi for my first car was ace me and my mates have and do have loads of fun great for camping and off roading I use it for work and still have more fun than others ushould get one there good!!
 
I'm 18 with a 90 TD5 that is classed as a light goods vehicle with the NFU for 3500. Mine was a van but got converted by the previous owner. Its still classed as an LGV so maybe thats something you could do. Having windows in the back is pretty helpful

i used money supermarket for initial quote then phoned to complete / check mod details etc.

i was limited to 5000 miles no courtesy car. but kept legal and medical cover.
 
mine was valued at 5500 what i paid for it at the time.

they probably think if you paid more for the landy and want fully comp you will drive better then a boy racer in a banger. insurance is a pain though i was also only insured for social use
 
yea, just as long as I dont fall down a ditch into a tree or get myself into a situation when i need to use someone else's winch im fine :crazy_driver: I did once manage to get a 110 stuck on top of a concrete tank trap when I was 12, now that was interesting. (i lived on a farm in south africa, i was driving long before i could reach the pedals...the secret is wooden blocks and duct tape ;) )
