just tried sureteam and the cheapest they would quote is £2120. 44, 0 NCD, 5k value and 10k PA. god knows why they want to know if i am a smoker or not, thats my choice 
tried Admiral direct on their web page and got cover down to £1400. thats with LPG and declaring tinted rear windows.
looks like Admiral will be getting my vote this year

Was hoping to get a company van, but fell through.
Just renewed mine for 97 4.6 on LPG - Footman James renewal wanted £874, got 4 yrs No claims, 1 previous claim and just social domestic use. Called Adrain Flux and got it for £300 including a couple of mods, legal cover, breakdown, green laning and 17 days european travel, limited to 5k pa but I doubt I'll reach that with the price of fuel up here. Do probably have a 'safe' postcode as most couriers treat us non UK mainland even though last time I ventured south I didnt have to take a ferry or get my feet wet!
Mine is £560 5k miles FC 6 year protected ncb clean licence (god knows how). Im 28, 27 when took policy, parked on street, not greatest area. They cheapest for me. Everyone else wanted over a grand. Wouldnt be so bad but my misses can insure it for £900 FC and she 22. A lot of companies say high price due to occupation, gas engineer. But only insured as social only

There's a hell of a difference between what people are paying. The range seems to start around £300 and rise to £3000 I don't really understand what makes the big difference in price. I know its not the NCB as 2 years ago I moved from elephant to admiral multi car (same company) and when they thought I hadn't provided evidence of my 5 years NCB Admiral sent out a letter saying my premium would go up by £35 - not exactly the 60% rise I would have expected. By the way I pay £1134 for 3 cars each on 15k miles per year. Covers me and the wife on all 3 vehicles.

time to re-live the hated insurance.
gave admiral a call today to get a realistic quote. spoke to a very helpful guy who went through every detail with me. now i asked a lot of questions and he gave me a lot of answers. so now i know that a 2002 4.6 with LPG, tinted windows and sports exhaust is coming in at £1650 with 0 NCB. if i change my address by 300m, it is 200 less!
according to this guy, it makes very little difference if it is parked on road, off road, garaged or in lock up. the main cost is your post code and area history of accidents and claims in that district.
all in all, a fair quote for myself as Flux wanted £800 more and a mandatory £750 excess, and were nowhere near as willing to answer my questions.
