A good friend of mine has recently purchased an MR2 Turbo, black, import for just over £3.5k.

He's 23, 4NCB, License 5 years, SP30. He pays £1200 to Direct Line fully comp.



I think it is an amazing car and I want one. I am aware how powerful they are and that it would be a large increase in power and obviously RWD.

I did a quote, pretending to be 20 years old which is how old I will be when I sell my Saxo and look for another car.

Used my mates plate, went to admiral, put in 20 years old, license 2 years 8 months, 2 NCB. Added my mum to the policy and clicked submit.

It came back with a quote of £1400 Fully Comp £350 excess. Now I think that is pretty amazing. Isn't the MR2 turbo ins gp 20 or something?

Is this just a mistake?
 
Wow, it's a serious machine though. :D

It would only cost me £150-£200 more a year to insure an MR2 Turbo over a 306 gti.

I've been reading about all the rev's etc. Were the power outputs of the imports different on the mk2 revs?

Rev3+ 241bhp
 
They want about that from me for a JDM Integra, although I've been putting in 25 with 3ncb, not run a quote on a MR2 Turbo though.
 
Hmm, been thinking about MR2's a lot, just put in a quote for a 1998 MR2 Turbo (Import)

1 x sp30, 1 x fault claim @ £700 damage, gf as named driver, £150 excess, 10 months accelerator, 3 years no claims, license for 7 years..

£711.78 from Bell including 3rd party on other cars.

Not too bad!

Also £573 for a UK spec N/A T-Bar :)
