Best insurance for a 17 year old

My daughter has fully comp insurance on a Classic Panda 1000CL @17, new driver, for £1300 with no restrictions and I can use it for work if necessary. I thought that was quite good considering that a friend of hers has a 1.2 corsa worth £300 and the insurance want £4000 with a box and they are 9 months older than my daughter.
Learn to drive properly before you try driving fast, You've not had your licence long and there is a reason why the insurance company withdraw the cover.
My first year on my own insurance on a Selecta back in 2007/2008 was £1280 fully comp, so not bad going at all IMO considering people keep thinking its always going up in price.
Now very happy with £330 for the year for a top spec and rather powerful (in comparison) Bravo
Apparently, insurance costs are coming down!!
Probably such a small drop that nobody has noticed!
My first year was £1200 on a 1.2 W-plate 5-door Punto. My 3rd (and last with the Punto) year was down to about £800
I think my current insurance is about £630 on a 1.8 Focus (if anyone on here asks...it's the little known Fiat Focus that looks just like its Ford cousin...honest). The Punto would have been £680 to insure (had I kept it). This was including 1 at fault accident...but it was also my first new policy after my 25th birthday.
And Benyboy - the skill to driving fast is knowing when to drive slow (shamelessly stolen quote from another forum...I think)

Well, I'm 18 and I pay £100 a month for my insurance (with Mypolicy) on my Punto mk2b 1.2 8v, and that's with a black box...I didn't think this was too bad.
Until after a month in they sent me a letter saying my excess has gone from £450 to £999. Thieving ******

Non was given.
Throughout all of my online quotes and all of the conversations over the phone they said my excess was £450, yet when I got my insurance details through it had been changed to £999. No idea why
