Buying/driving for the first time, UK.
Spending less than £1K and about £1.5K on insurance.
I'd like to get the most fun car I can afford, which is very limited - but I can atleast go for a light and nippy car.
Please give me advice about cheap old light cars that are a kind of fun experience and the same insurance range as any other low powered supermini.
I've heard good things about the K10 Micra and old French cars, but that might be a stretch too far in age range even for my low as fuck standards.
I'd also like to know about the EP81 Starlet which is possibly available to me for good value. They're light but I don't know what they are like to drive.
Also I'm not really open to modifications at all.

rare as fuck

you're going to spend 1.5x the value of your car on insurance?
are you fucking retarded?

If he's under 20 and getting a first car then his insurance won't be lower than 850 quid for something like a 1.4, and that's provided he has a decent postcode.

Does anything about my post sound like I care about good investments? :^)

>then his insurance won't be lower than 850 quid for something like a 1.4,
sounds like full cover on a 1k car, again, retarded.
liability only must be way, way less than that otherwise you're doing something very wrong. especially on a tiny 1.4.

Fully comprehensive is a lot cheaper here.
>>14100445
that doesn't even make sense
what's wrong with your country?
>>14100457
Who cares.
Insurance isn't even that bad after your first year.

I only know from several online quotes but something about my details seems to get me no lower than 1,000 for everything I've tried. I've tried normal tier cars of course
Also 1,500 is just a limit, and I don't think I'll squeese anything more powerful or whatever into that
>>14100400
I dunno famm some of these old timers might work out more expensive to insure because of personel injury claims and the lack of abs traction control etc
>>14100483
Well I know I'm cheap but it's less about optimising the cost and more about going for something in a range that's lower than my limit, since it's a lot more significant of a difference to get a faster one.
Also it might be due to living in a quiet place but older cars seem to have very similar rates anyway

Welcome to insurance, it's legally mandated and highly inflated
