Uk: Converting Standard Car To Kit Car To Reduce Insurance?
I’m 19 and I drove a Jaguar S-type in the US. I’ve moved back to the UK and my insurance premiums are looking around £7000 (roughly 4x of what it was in the US).
What I’m thinking is what if I buy an s-type, and replace the engine with a small 1.6L engine (I don’t care about speed, just luxury) and change the car to a ‘kit car’ status, will that lower my insurance to a more affordable rate? Thanks for any advice.

You can’t do that to reduce your insurance. It goes by VIN, and it’s still considered a regular car.
