i was surprised myself to get it so cheap (for a 17 year old)

Most insurance companies wouldn't insure you on a cooper s until your 21.

Unless you have money to burn, it really is not worth it. You'll end up killing yourself.

if it helps, im 17 and have an aero kit on my cooper, with insurance being through diamond..a friend of mine has a cooper s works and is 18, admiral insurance i believe

when I put on the aero kit I was 17 and my insurance increased about £150 with admiral

im sure i could live with that, but what i don't get with my insurer is that they have told me that if i add none performance enhancing extras such as alloys etc. my premium wouldnt go up and they didn't include my alloys and spoiler on my insurance cover sheet so i presume that i would just have to put the value of my car up to cover the alloys etc.?

My sentiments exactly, dude get a ONE, theres nout wrong with em.

I honestly do not believe that ANY insurance company would look at a 17 year old still with a Provisional on a 160bhp+ Turbocharged car.

I live in a village in the middle of no where, been driving for well close to a year, no claims or points and they companies wont even touch me on a Cooper, never mind an S

Actually, you're right, I really should read posts shouldn't I

You have a Mini One, with bits of a Cooper S bolted to it.

i know a guy whos 17, got an 07 plate mini cooper s john cooper works (what a car) and he got insured on it fine, if youve got money, theres a way

[MiniPetrolHead]

I could only imagin what he must be paying, im 19 and drive a cooper S and im paying £3300 for this years premium................... but i dont regret buying an S!

I nearly got an S but insurance was around £3k (19 with 1 years NCB).

I settled for a newer Cooper in the end and my premium is £1,100

I'll get an S at some point though!
