    I'm afraid there is no way around it. All insurers that offer this type of insurance insist of any named driver meeting the same criteria the main insurer has to meet.
    So any named driver on the policy MUST:
    - be over 25 years old
    - have a full license

    It might be worth ringing round all the insurers to get a standard insurance quote - the spitfire has a small-ish engine and a very low insurance grouping (in the UK), so you might be suprised.

    "Normal" insurance companies won't quote you if the car is older then X years (where X in my experience is between 10 and 15 years). They'll just say..."I'm sorry, we don't have a product that is suitable for you at present."

    I tried everything, ended up waiting a few years and then got what I really wanted. Best waiting a few years
