Have you actually got any ncb built up, or have you always been named on your parents insurance? If you have been on their insurance all the time then I'd have to say that you're better off buying a cheap runabout and using it for a few years to build up your no claims.... otherwise if you try and insure an MR2 straight off the bat (or anything else remotely sporty) you'll pay an arm and a leg... or two...

Insurance=extortion!

I'm 21, 4 years NCB, I pay £450 with Noriwch Union on a mk1 T-bar N/A with a few mods.

Which actually seems pretty reasonable now!

Other companies that have been good to me are elephnat.co.uk and CIS.
Also have you seen this: http://www.mr2mk1club.com/insur.html ?
I've never tried, but sounds promising....
