    reason i ask is ive just got hold of an 1996 n reg fiesta si 76k on the clock and generally a very tidy car for my 19 year old.its on sorn at the mo as no mot,but from what i understand shouldnt cost big bucks to put it on the road.

    the cheapest insurance quote weve had for him as a learner driver,as the main driver with myself and his mum is £480 which i thought wasnt bad,other quotes have been totally !Removed! stupid over 1k.
