which insurance company?

[Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman]

From reading a number of these posts, I'd guess the issue is whether you've any convictions and/or any accidents to declare (regardless of protected NCB etc). It sounds like many of the companies discussed, jack the prices up much more readily than if you were insuring a "regular" type of car.

The average for a faily clean driving record seems to be from just under £200 to £250 or so for a 30 ish year old. Add six points or a few accidents and it sounds like many of the companies put you up around the £500 mark.

I had a fault accident last year, bought a 2.0vx in novemeber.  I'm  24 and I think I'm paying £650 fully comp (5000 mile limit) with FJ, which I think is pretty reasonable with no NCB.

For comparison, before my accident, I way paying £800 with five years no claims on a 1.8T Golf, I think my current insurance total for tin top and Westy with no NCB is cheaper than that!

Insured mine today for the first time. I used a company called Lancaster which gave me discount for being a club member. £158 FC. Which i thought was very reasonable.
