Hi all
Does your insurance go up if you put a five speed conversion in. Or for that matter brake servos 1275 Marina engine or other things to make them run smoother
Thanks all

Don't think so. I would check with my insurance company first before investing any money. No point having a car you can't afford to drive. Suggest you Pm poster Sidney'61. He runs a 1275/5 speed and is under 25.

My son`s insurance was £1095 for a 1098cc and £1295 for the 1275cc engine.
That`s first time insurance with a provisional licence with Footman James.

Seems like £1 for every cc!
