Well, I've just spent an hour on the phone and internet trying to get insurance for my new mini...bit of a difficult task as I have no no-claims...
Blimey, who'd have thought there was such a massive variation...
Cheapest is Direct Line at £786 and most expensive is Norwich Union at £2301!!!
Mini cover came in at £845.
Oh dear...so it looks like it'll be the little red phone for me
