I am single, young and live with parents haha.

V8 can/is expensive to run tho..

I know it wont be my everyday car so when i use it i would be able to afford it but fuel prices are an absolute **** take!

if it is that much cheaper to insure than a diesel then i may consider it!

£760 is really not bad at all, especially considering you only have 1 years NCB. When I passed my test many years ago, I paid £1200 to insure a 1995 1.1 Ford Fiesta in a low crime area. (TPFT) That was the cheapest I could get it, even after much looking around. A year later, I insured a BMW 316i for much less than what I paid to insure a Fiesta. :confused:

Make sure that you tell Adrian Flux that you're a member of a club, as it will reduce your premium slightly. They did not define what constitutes as being a club and by normal definition, Landyzone is a form of a club, so they can't argue with that unless they change their policy wording.

Also, I really recommend sticking to 4x4 specialist insurers. In many cases, your premium will not increase when/if you choose to modify your vehicle. Some insurance companies even make this a requirement in order to be eligible for cover.

haha, surely thats a legal loophole in the insurance law then? if they dont specify what a club is or ask for a number then i guess i am part of a club.



Juicey, ah right still sucks tho, show insurance is ****ty and they pick and choose prices!



Yeh my first year driving a 1.25 fiesta was £1600 TPFT but if i still had it now it would be around £400 to £600 but instead i changed to a 2.0 turbo astra coupe which is £1k.

I want the insurance on the landy to be about £600 or less if possible
 
Have you tried the national farmers union / nfu direct or sureterm direct includes cover green laning and play days and its cheep
 
this 4.2v8 rr with every single mod declared and greenlaneing/offroad cover and agreed valuation of £6k cost me a tad under £300 for me and the mrs fully comp
