Hello all, this is probably an old one, but any help will be appreciated.
I'm trying to get my son insured on my 1980 Mini. It has a 998 engine and
non standard Wolfrace alloy wheels. My son is 20 and passed his driving test
last month. Any ideas/advice ?
Thanks in advance....

Hi,
You could try getting him on your insurance as a named driver, but bear in
mind that HE will not be building up his own no claims bonus. He can only do
that when he has his own insurance in his own name.

Hi,
Don't know whether your in the British Mini Club. If not it might be
worth joining. Some of the specialist insurers will give a discount for
being a member.
www.britishminiclub.com
It might also be worth searching the forums on the BMC site for 'cheap
insurance' as there are plenty of posts on there to do with newly
qualified and provisional mini drivers. Might be worth having a stiff
drink handy !
We're with Adrian Flux (08700 777120) on the mini scheme for one mini,
and Direct line with the other, we're both in our 30's with loads of NCD
but each premium is still between 190 and 280 per year. DL were about
£60 more expensive than adrian flux but the policy is slightly
different. Footnam James (0845 330 9771) is another specalist insurer
that might be worth trying.
We have a £250 excess, a mileage limit of 10k per year and no protection
on the NCD to try and keep the premiums down.
Best of luck.
