doesnt it go by the insurance group of the engine that you have put into the car?? Plus any extra's you have added on.
Im not entirely sure tbh.

A lot of insurers will not even insure a car that has had an engine swap. I looked into an upgrade to a 1.6 engine (from a 1.4) as had one offered to me for free and the quotes were ridiculous. Insurance was £900+ if I was to swap the engine for the 1.6. This is compared to my usual insurance of £300 on the 1.4. That was at 21 with 4 years no claims!
I work in insurance and probably the main factor for drivers is age... Seems unfair but I have seen the stats for the most collisions and also most costly claims and it is young drivers so is right really.
Just ran a few quotes through though and I can get fully comp on a 2.8L VW Vr6 for £760 and a 2.0L 16v cupra for £600..... Tempting!

try the 8v mate! they're only something daft like a group 10 or 12!
close, i.group 11 - I'm 20 and I pay 800 with a few modifications declared.
roughly how much would a mk1 golf gti be to insure i cant find what group they are
im 18 but my old nanna would be the main driver

I can't see it being cheap, maybe around the 1k mark. Insurance companies will see the golf gti as having no safety features and a big engine with a young driver.
combination for lots of £££££

i think this might be for a mk2 but it's the earliest one on there!! thing is though, like the ibiza 8v the golf makes a tad more power than book( my old mk2 8v made 129.9 with nothing more than a drilled airbox and a power rohr!) and they're very fast off the line!
(i've owned 3 of them!)

as good an engine as the 20vt is, in standard form they're not much cop really! 150 bhp, 140 lb/ft and they weigh over 1400 kg!!
strange, i noticed this this morning before looking at this thread, surely worth a look?

Yeah I saw this as well. Thought it would be worth a look, but as I have no money to buy a 3rd mk2 or insure an engine swap I thought better of it. Hope the owner ends up on here, want to see how good it was
