have you tried elephant?
they do online quotes, not sure where you can do it for just 3 months though, you would probably have to end up taking the year long policy and the cancelling as said before.
edit:
I got mine just after i turned 20 and the quote was 1340, paying monthly it went to 1851 a year.

She's been hit - insurance people are just going to LOVE YOU!

What about the modifications??? If you have as many as this car has had...and don't declare, and some git bangs into you...then you won't have a leg to stand on, as your insurance would be invalidated!
No matter how good a driver you are (or think you are) there is always someone who sees the Cups colour as 'invisible blue' and tries to drive towards you! :dead:

tbh if your in the position to ask whether there are more affordable insurance premiums out there for you at 17. From a first quote over 3k + TPFT (which there arent going to be many) my advise would be dont bother...
Unless you can throw away 3k and not worry too much about it (i.e. money from parents or income from own company) i really wouldnt see the value.
Remember you still have to find servicing, parts (tyres) and most important of all petrol....
I find it hard that you say a Cat D and mods isnt going to effect the prem. i know in my case it would! so whats so different with the guys you insure with.. their going to look at this as a VERY high risk car to let you in...
not trying to piss on your fire mate
Im sure you'd be able to get better quotes most defenitly... from independent brokers whom may be able to ensure you fully comp on your own insurance for the same possibly if not a bit more.. but is it worth it?
If it was a fun weekend car, get a kit car, (tiger, locust etc) very cheap to insure and would be much more fun than a clio and different, trust me

Must be over 21 for that
tbh Insuring a 172 at 17 is a waste. You can go faster and have more fun for less.
I had my 172 at 17 only due to the fact we got its insurance thrown in with our company account.
I'd rather pay £600 to insure a westfield than £3k to insure a 172.
look mate, regardless of what some people might think. the car is mint. end of.
i bought it without an hpi check, as i took the guy to be trustworthy. also i never even asked if it was cat d or the like so in trading it in i paid a price.
however, i never had one problem with it. all work was carried out when it should have been etc. it is a brilliant car mate, and if i could afford the cup and the meg i would still have it.
so on that basis, buy it and dont worry bout it.
now though, you are only 17, so insurance is gonna be mega and i mean mega on a 172, never mind a 172 cup.
if you can afford to do it, then do it.
but as has been said, dont cripple yourself financially for it. as as with any car, anything you put into it, is money you will not get back.

for your information, a car that has been vandalised by a simple act of "keying" to an extent to that the re-spray is rather expensive could be enough to deem a car cat d.
doesnt have to have been in a smash to the extent that the car is half its original size.
Shed.
In may, ill have 1 years no claims. thank f**k lol, i was looking on money supermarket and i was returning quotes for £2000, mum as the main driver. Thats works out at £200 every month for 10 months. Im gunan get a 172 eventualy and ill be buying the car straight off and not on finance.
thats a hell of a lot for 3 months..?
