We've all done it mate, me, a rusted out Mk3 Escort finished in splendid faded orange, far from cool, but by 18 or so I could afford to insure an Astra GTE
which also at the time, it was listed as the fourth most stolen car in the UK

Look for something 1000cc or less would help, but sadly, these days, insurance for youngsters is very difficult to get sub £1500.

do you guys know insurance companies preferences for quoting 0-60. liters. desirability.
for instance would a 520 have the same quote as a 320
