Shannons do offer insurance to under 25's but not via the website, only via phone in my experience. My g/f has been on my Evo's and the first one was when she was 23. She also had her Subaru insured in her own name with them at 23 and currently has the Mini with them but is now over 25. This was 3 years ago though so things could have changed.

I imagine it is on a case by case basis with risk the denominator.

Track insurance is offered in Australia but at a premium for the day only and at a percentage value of the vehicle up to X percent from my understanding. I don't know if Shannons do it though.

i've been with shannons since i was 20 i think (i think late 20). R34. At the end of the call when i got all the policy sorted, they told me the only reason they even CONSIDERED insuring me was because i was a member of a CAMS affiliated club (thanks SAU VIC) and i was planning on tracking the car. Perhaps they were a little more lenient back in the day. I've also been on extreme limited use and limited use policies, genuinely so and i appreciated them taking my word at face value.

I "think" i started at $1900 for extreme limited use, then i jumped to $2100 when changing to limited use (so that would have been 21 yrs old) and now it's $12xx i think. 25 on Nov 28th, so hopefully it's going to come down some more :)

So yeah, in short, they insure under 25. Perhaps they are a little tougher these days by the sound of it, or maybe they just make an assessment on how you sound over the phone :blink: But i wouldn't even bother checking with them without being a SAU Vic member, or some a member of some sort of CAMS club.

Got quoted from Shannons last week or so.. I'm under 25 and it's much cheaper that famous and just cars.

But it all depends on the licenses you hold and your experience and of course NCB rating I guess.. Everyone is different.

oh, forgot to add... to me, choice of repairer pretty trumps ANYTHING. I would gladly pay more on my premium if it meant i could hand my car over to Mr Gloss, without having to sell my left kidney to get work done there.

I did ring JC a few months ago, just to see how it would compare.

- Agreed value with shannons is way more than what JC would give me at market value

- Excess way more with JC

- No choice of repairer with JC

i'd easily pay a couple hundred more given the above. But as it turns out, JC and shannons were the same premium.

The benefits you get with shannons easily outweighs a couple hundred cheaper quote else where

i got insurance with shannons when i was 19! they insure my s15 for $30,000 value

i have a $900 excess and my premium is only $1800 ... not bad for a 20 year old!

i turn 21 in 2 weeks and i'll be on rating 1 with them!

I'm sure it helps but I wasn't part of a CAMS affiliated club nor did I have a CAMS license at the time.

      An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it

      You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there

      A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not

      GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣

      Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version.
