1420 would be the lowest id imagine for your age, eperience and NCB TBH !! Especially on a willy !! Why not get a mint valver and willyfy it with a 2.0l ?
Yea.
Most people dont.. best I had on confused was 1738 by Quote-A-Car.. and 1740 on Admiral (but then Admiral said it would be 2000+ when I rung?).
Anyway, I was sitting watching EastEnders last night.. and this Advantage rung me.. with the 1480.. or 1420 with CAT1.
I dont think Im going to get any better, either.. Its the 20 and No NCD bit they dont like (most want 21+.. ).
Yea.. its a lot.. but then, I dont think it is.
Its a Grp17 car.. Im 20 with no NCD.. but its only TPFT.
I was getting quotes of 2k on my 1.2.. which is grp3/4.. (but I did want Fully Comp on that..)
I dunno, still debating whether its worth the double insuance (Valver would be £760 TPFT/Year.)
the handling can be bought up to willy level and double insurance is a bummer mate !! Especially as its gonna be the same EVERY year !!
yes but the difference between valver and willy insurance will always be there is what i was trying to say !!
Go with your heart !! If you want a willy and cann afford that insurance DO IT !! Id have a willy over a 2.0l valver anyday !! They are an ICON and future classics !! aswell as being best hot hatch of all time !!
OH FFS just do it !! you wont regret it !!

Check out this months top gear, there is a article on the willy3, a few mistakes but a good read and it gives a 8-10year old car the thumbs up.
I met the photographer from CAR mag, he was driving one of those spitfires things, as soon as i said i had a willy it brought a smile to his face, he just said "now the williams is a car!"
daz i pay 1270 on a valver !! id pay the extra for a willy if theyd quote me !!
Maybe you could make a Valver grip as well as a Willy, but to make it handle as well youd need to basically fit Williams suspension (lot of bother) or be an expert in suspension set-ups to re-create the effect with off-the-shelf parts.
As it is, I dont think you can get Willy handling by lowering a Valver on coilovers as the Willy relies on the full suspension travel to give you what its best at (B-roads). Its much more controlled on, say, 50% of the suspension travel and reacts to input in a much friendlier way than my 16V did - both when it was standard and when it was lowered.
If youve got a good cashflow situation (can you tell Im a bean counter?) with lots of room to soak up some bills, then Id go for one of the cheaper Williams and do it up - giving you more money for that first insurance premium. Id say that the wheels will need refurbishing and bonnet/bumper/rear arches attended to whatever the price of the car (unless it was mine
). Youre going to have to do all that and more on a 16V in all likelihood too.Ben, well, Mat goes with me.. and we do spot everything wrong/not original with them. Mint cars appear not-so-mint when we leave.
Arwell.. at least well get me a good one between us.. hehe.Only do Mint.. heh.
But yea.. making a 16v like a Williams is a lotta work.. new axles for Track etc.. I would imagine.. Id rather go straight to a Williams.
LMAO Im the same !! no REAL job atm !! its too good doing nothing though !! might make a career out of it !!
