Try endsleigh insurance - they're student insurance brokers - they normally beat any genuine quote straight away, but always tell them you'll ring them back - ring them back a short while laters with another "genuine quote" ;-)

thats slightly lower and they should beat it - ive been with them for 8 years and they always come in cheaper than anywhere else. My first car, a pug 306 1.9 was 900 quid with them 3rd party - most places wanted double that

I'm 21 and my Jimny is my 2nd car... first being a '51 Fiesta

Insurance on the Jimny is about Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£950-1000... thats having passed when i was 17, clean license and ncb!

This year i expect it to be Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£750-800

Handling wise, its slower compared to the fiesta, and rolls a little more... but slow and dodgy round corners at speed is great to put the shivvers up him!

Well chaps, I've taken the plunge and committed to buying a 03 plate car. Exceptionally well built, I reckon.
Thanks for the advice. Still open to ideas about insurance, though.

I'm 23 and insurance is still a nightmare. As soon as I mentioned it had a suspension lift, normal insurance companies wouldnt touch me. Ended up going with NIG through Adrian Flux and now I pay more for the insurance on my 1.3 Jimny than I do on my 3.2 Boxster S. Do you intend on modifying the Jimny or keeping it standard?

Definitely keeping it standard. It is very much going to be a second car, so insurance would be cheap, except that I want my 17 year old son on the policy. I see from another thread that there are some 17 year olds on the board, so I'm hoping one of them will tell me how it's done!
Great forum, by the way.
