Well I'm certainly not a young pup at 42, that's with 10 years NCB as well. The cheapest I have found on comparison sites is £420 with FluxDirect, still a bit more than I wanted to pay really, I only drive her 6 months a year.

What model is it, the 900 BHP Rocket propelled one
That's stupid, I am only 5 years older and 6 years no claims. It has to be down to the area?

It's probably because now I am back in Essex I am obviously going to be wheel spinning and doing donuts around Southend seafront with my Sub blaring out

Insurance is a con!
We moved house, my other half called to change her insurance and they said oh its going to increase because you have moved in to a higher risk area...
I called my insurance and they said oh you will be happy sir - your new home is in a lower risk area so we can confirm your payments will decrease...
Work that one out!

If doing low miles >5k a year then try Peter Best insurance. If an MGCC member it only cost me £138 fully comp and they don't take into consideration NCB. That's with a modified policy as well. The ZS is considered a modern classic

I was with AXA a couple of years ago, but when I brought the MK2 and declared the Mods they refused to insure me.
