Being an old bloke these days (well, 40 seems old when I'm chatting up 19yo bar maids ) I'm finding insurance not too bad. £560 for my TDV8 with business use for both of us with garaunteed NCD, European cover etc. seems ok to me.

What I don't understand is how people in their early 20s can afford to buy an RRS in the first place! When I was that age my money went on beer and hot hatches. Maybe that's where I went wrong...  2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

insurance is the least of your worries, I have had mine 3 weeks now and spent about £300 on fuel

Haven't been far then  MY2011 HSE Santorini/Ivory/Piano Black/Privacy Glass/TV .Sadly gone.

You have to be very carefull with trade insurance if the worst happens you will only get what they think trade price is

Blimey and i start moaning if mine goes over £350, admiral multicar policy

I got my rrs at 21 and was only 2.5k I just put my mm as a named driver was around 5k before I did that. 23 now and it's just over 1k.

I was 26 when I got my 2.7 TDV6 last year and the insurance was £700. I had a quote for an SC and it was not much more - £780 I think but that was with 8 years NCB.

I'm an old codger,But i dont drive like one, and i have 40 odd years accident free driving. I used to drive 2000 or more mile s a week. Now i am retired i drive a lot less ( 8000) a year. My insurance is £327 for RR 2.7 HSE I think that is powerful and fast enough in this country. Why do you have to have a 4.2 supercharged at 26

Just insured my new one, £400 fully comp, excess £250.
Being an old fart does have some benefits, not many though. MY13.5 Autobiography, Santorini Black, Privacy Glass. Gone
Driving a milk float for now.

just renewed mine. £395 at 47 years of age fully comp, swift insurance have been the cheapest for me foe last 6 years  RR Sport Supercharged Vesuvius Orange 4.2 V8 First edition

Prefer RR Vouge S/C but they don't do Orange !
