This forum is in a class of its own, sad owners of other, lesser machines, are always amazed by what can be discovered and discussed in the Austin Seven world. Martin Prior lives not far away, but I only knowof him from the forum. I'm sorry he's had insurance problems for kids/grandchildren. We've found the specialist policies greatly easier for everyone, and seeing youngsters trialling and nav rallying shows that competition insurance is easily available, as long as it's a specialist insurer.
Hi Steve.
The point that I was trying to make, based on enquiries that come up here and on Facebook, is that it seems to be much more difficult for 17-year-old drivers to get insurance than it was when my kids started driving ten or so years ago. Even then, RH wouldn't touch them until they were 18 or 19 and for the first year or two we had to go through an independent broker who was also an enthusiast. This question comes up fairly often, so if you know of an insurer that will take on very young drivers.................
If you're local, please give me a bell!
