When you ask for third party only, many will still include the fire and theft bit so you might want to make 100% sure they aren't adding it. To be sure of that, when they ask me I always declare that it is worth 25 pence . If they say "WHAT" I then say 24 pence and go down one P each time they say "WHAT" ha ha ha weird I know but so are insurance salespeople! If they go on I will declare it "not garaged and with keys in the ignition". Anyway, a fiesta will not do 120mph like the roadster does so that's one reason for having a higher insurance price. I think a roadster develops 80bhp! Hardly a fiesta :) Good luck with it anyway, hope you get it insured. wow, £5K??
