Hi guys,

I thought i would say something about getting insured as a younger driver as i had some real trouble. Unfortuniately Peter Best only insure drivers over 25 and its the same story with all the specialist insurers. I went with Privilege as they were fairly reasonabe (relatively speaking) but had a nightmare trying to prove the 260 had a thatcham cat 1 alarm.

For some reason they want a certificate to prove what alarm system is installed even though its factory fitted. I had a hunt around on google and found plenty of other people had gone through the same hassle, without much success as such a certificate doesnt seem to exist for the 260. Anyway after several letters and phone calls i managed to sort everything out with a letter from the original dealer (now an audi dealer) confirming the alarm was thatcham cat 1, they were happy to do this for me. Privilege seemed happy with it and im all insured now. Hopefully this info is helpful for anyone else in a similar situation, aren't insurance companys fun..... lol.
