F......... INSURANCE!!!
Phoned 13 (doomed from the start?) insurance companies this morning, heres what I got back:
2 x over 30s only
3 x over 25s only
4 x over 21s only
3 x No bike engines
1 x No Locosts
So what do I do now?! I have a partly built car and they wont let me drive it! Anyone else my age (I'm 19) managed to get sorted?
Looks like the 1.3 is staying put after all 
Any ideas?
Going to run away and cry....

You already know the answer...
Don't give in though... someone will somewhere, but sounds as though it won't be cheap!

if you post up who you've contacted people might be able to suggest other insurers who might be able to help?

I would have banked on adrian flux,at least they are getting getting back to you.
I'm sure there have been quotes given to 19 yr olds in the past,have you done a search on here as there's probably a lot of posts on it.

I think you've pretty much covered the whole kit car insurance industry there! Unfortunately, if you can't get a quote/good price from any
of them, I think you're just going to take a deep breath and go for the cheapest. Don't despair too much - I'm 21 and paid £456 for
3000 miles fully comp in an R1 locost (that was with Sureterm).

I won't ruin your day by telling you how much I just paid for fully comp and 1500 miles... 
David (wrinkly in training)
OK - it was £114, of which Adrian Flux took £20 commission, so £94.
