When we were looking for my missus when she first passed her test all the specialist companies said you needed three years driving experience first, she was quite a lot over 17.  She had to put up with a mk2 Astra for a while before she could have her mk1 Escort on the road. |

Volvo back as my main squeeze, more boost and some interior goodies on the way.

Call every company you can think of. I'd recommend Brentacre but I think they need a year's experience for young drivers.

Even if the website says 21+, phone them. They might be able to help, and often the age range on the website is for the automatic quote system only.

Easiest thing to do is get a copy of the Yellow pages, a few classic mags, and just ring around |
