I've read Quinn are in trouble and may be going into administration - as such they're honouring current policies but not offering renewals or new so you'll have to change insurers one way or another. Are you a young 'un Dave as I've discovered insurers are no longer offering Drive Other Cars on Fully Comp policies to under 25's?

Well keep looking, the only problem is that it becomes a bit addictive, untill you end up with a citroen sanctuary!

Does this mean you have info on a company which is still offering TP cover for other cars?

TP for under 25's is becoming rarer and rarer. I was lucky enough to always have it on my policies but then insuring cars like an R5 GTT, R19 16v Chammy and the a coupe 20vt the policies costa fortune anyhoo :(

"In this sense we welcome the news, but the lift of the ban only on provisional licence holders simply does not go far enough," she said

I have the tpe with axa (over 25 :P) but would never drive an expensive or rare car using it, you guys do understand that if you wrap your 'mothers' range rover/evo/whatever around a tree you dont get a penny for the car!! Could never understand people using this to drive expensive/fast cars, may as well not be insured!
