My first was a Ford Escort, classic 90's car
The lights had a mind of their own ... sometimes they'd all work, sometimes you'd only get full beam, sometimes nothing ..... it made driving at night entertaining.
The thing i'll always remember about it though, is that while taking a slow drive through Woburn Safari Park, i spun it in the lion enclosure, but luckily kept it on the road part
And shortly after that little incident, Woburn put a speed bump in on that particular corner.
The jag looks good though, and hopefully as you said, in a few years time, the insurance might have come down a bit for young drivers.
Although it's not just new drivers that get crazy prices. I've had classic cars for years - so classic car insurance, which means no no claims built up. When i was looking to get a 'new' car, even some of the quotes for a 1996 998cc Fiat Cinquecento were coming in at over £1000, and i'm 35
