Footman James, insured myself when 17, on my own policy, 3000miles P.A, third party fire and theft £550 on a SWB series 3.

When my brother turned 17 (or there abouts) our insurance broker reckoned a series land rover to be one of the cheapest vehicles to insure, but then that was with NFU so you expect them to know what a land rover is.

try arthur marsh and sons the transit insurence has actually gone down this year :D  (we use the birmingham based one)
dont no if they will do the series any good but give them a try.

Try Lancaster Insurance. Not sure on their youth policy but they are the cheapest classic insurance i found.

When I was 17 and looking for a car to buy I found a series landy to be the cheapest car to insure. I got quotes for about £800.

Tell him to do the pass pluss course. That will bring the policy down loads.

Is that in your name? Rather good if it is, I'm paying about double that for my own polocy with Footman James on simular terms.

During my first year (21) they were half the price of anyone else who'd consider it.  Last year I had more options but stuck with FJ and used other quotes to get them to lower the price.  I'll be entering year 3 next month so the fun will start again!

Word of warning about a company I wasn't keen on but might be good depending on your polocy type...Firebond. They were very pushy on the phone with a very cheep quote, but in the small print they wouldn't give agreed value, only market value.  If your after cheep insurance on a cheep landy its probubly fine but I wanted fully comp that'd garantee to pay more than £500 if I needed to claim as my landy wouldn't be easy or cheep to replace like for like.

Last time I asked NFU about insurance they said they only considered insuring people under 23 (or there abouts) if their perents/family already held another polocy with them.  A strange restriction I thought.

That's how I've got insured.  My father's car and my Land Rover share the same Policy, so naturally I'm under my father's name who is the Policy Holder.

My son 17 as main driver S3. Footman James £600.

NFU

cheaper than everyone else we tried (i turned 19 a few weeks ago)

very helpful as well....for eg: if your landy is off the road for a couple of months work, you can change it to TPFT and save a few quid and then change it back again over the phone.

Has anyone suggested Adrian Flux

[Robbo]

Peter Best for me, and got a discount for being in the Series 111 club, so might be worth trying to ask for discounts for club memberships

....and just to make me smile its only £94 fully comp with green road cover. As its a third car I have no no-claims discount.
