Yeah admiral wanted 1300 for me alone with no mods. I'm allowed a few mods now with no extra cost. Area does make a huge difference too. I moved about 6 mile and my insurance halved.
Aww I was just reading your build thread yesterday. It's a lovely car and I agree with Stants hope she is going to a loving home and hopefully they will be on the forum?
I've never fitted one. Had one on my old scoob and it was nice to allow it to cool down without having to sit in the car. It was linked to the handbrake so if someone got in and tried to release the handbrake to drive, the engine would just stall.
