why is GT insurance so expensive?

[st1allstar]

my mk1 uno turbo is insured for 150 on a classic policy fully comp all mods declared and i can drive other cars 3rd party

[clarkster]

is that a standalone policy for 150?

[giancarlokarter]

Mine is 900 a year I'm only 20 an I got a quote for 3k with the 2ltr declared

Just out of curiosity I've just popped my details into Comparethemarket for my GT with all the mods and it came out at £700. I reckon I can get that a lot cheaper.

[sicskate]

My quotes are about £300, but that's with 8years ncb.

I can only imagine without my ncb it would be at least £8-900?

[Puntoboy]

I have 6 currently but that's also with my list of eventual mods declared.

i have 2 sets of 4 years no claims, so i always try to keep them both going by having 2 cars, my cinq is way off being road worthy atm, and i think i may sell my grande punto to free up some money to go towards savings, so i thought i know, il get a gt, should be cheap to insure now surely....

my quotes on other cars:
Noble M12: £570
my Maserati: £909
abarth punto (with SS 180bhp kit) : £690


and then.....
Punto GT: £1040

so maybe i wont get one then

Insurance quotes are generally based on the grouping of the car amongst other things but if a certain model has shown to have more claims than others, insurers can view them dimly.

That's the only explanation I can work out! Punto GT's aren't a problem on our scheme though

Only gonna cost me £30 a month

I should do a quote on a GT, got 8yr NCB, but a **** load of penno points!
