Earl my Landy!
Dave123:
Thanks again.
Best part is that it's already MOT'd :D although not sure how genuine it is because i bought it off the bloke that MOT'd it but i got the next MOT ina about 2months time or so. I'm pretty confident he'll pass but still a bit concerned. At the moment it's feeling like a show vehicle with all the shiny paint so I can't wait to get him in the brown stuff! :twisted:
A question I was going to ask some of you more Knowing folk is whether the insurance is cheap for a new driver? This is the 4cyl petrol BTW.
Also I forgot to tell you How i came to get this landy, It was actually my Dads first ever signwriting job and he suggested to me that I gave the bloke a ring and was wondering if he was willing to sell, thankfully it was a yes :D The funniest part was that my dad was quite upset to see me take off all the old paint, he said he was only 17 and it took him 2 weeks per side to do the work :lol:
edy:
well the insurence, there is one simple answerto to that... no it isnt cheap... at all. i tried to get the series 2a done and off one of those search sites and the cheapest one was £3500!!!! (and that was without telling them about the 3L V6 in it)
im sure i could get it cheaper when im 17 and start ringing around.
to be honest your lucky to get anything insured for under £3000 (well in my area) untill you reach about 22, 23.
for example my other car is a escort cabriolet (typical boy racer car lmao) and that was £3250
i think the best thing to do is to go on one of you parents if they let you, im hoping to go on my dads, he got the escort for £200, (soon go up when im on it)
so to stop me waffling on, no it isnt cheap!
your from woster ay, i shall keep an eye out for ya when im round there :D nan and grandad live round there.
cheers

It will be cheap as far as insurance goes for young drivers, but won't be cheap. That make sense? :lol: My recommendation is to go as a named driver under a parent's policy temporarily for your first few months till you get a full licence at the very least. After one full year of driving, you should be able to find insurers willing to insure you for under £2,000.
If the vehicle is completely standard and you're keeping it that way, contact Footman James on their Classic Insurance number and ask them about the young driver classic policy. :)

Thank you very much, The only problem i'm finding with getting isurance anywhere is that it's currently on Q plates just because it had the number plates and plate registration documents lost so they just stuck it on Q plates so i'm looking into getting it off.
