If everything is done correctly (ie it is insured as a DC5) then that is a fair price for a 19 year old. Who is the insurer out of interest?
Insured off the registration number as a standard UK DC2 via a comparison site perhaps?

Most insurers thought I had a 1.8 DC2 when I was looking for quotes on the dc5..
They said to me 'Are you sure it's a 2.0?' :lol:
The DC5 is not on 99.9% of UK insurer's systems.
The thing is, people just insure (incorrectly) off the reg number and think they are insured, in reality they are not. An internet site is not going to ask you is it a DC2 or DC5, a specialist insurer most likely would.
I do not believe you will have informed your insurance company of anything.

Who are you? The insurance police? Lol
Also working for a large insurance company.
Nice. I got my renewal through. So nice to have a reasonable figure through finally. My DC5 was £2,100 to insure. 28 going 29, garaged, 3K annual mileage, No points, 3-NCB, 1-non fault claim (theft)... Jokes.
I really can't understand why this is still such an issue, DC5's have been coming in to the UK for over ten years now, yet insurance companies do not recognise them. I am pretty sure there are lots of people driving DC5's happily assuming they are insured, when in actual fact they are insured for a 1.8 ITR.
I agree with you but it cannot be used an an excuse for fraudulently insuring your car incorrectly.
Many import cars are registered incorrectly, eg type in a registration number for an MR2 turbo, you find it's registered as a Rav 4. It is down to YOU to make sure the car is insured correctty, ignorance will not get you far when you claim.
THAT'S why you're such a ****.
