Wow, what a remarkably helpful post title.

The insurance will be high for the following reasons:
You are male,
under 21
under 25
You will have (at maximum) 3 years of driving experience.
Turbo car
Fairly rare car these days so parts to use to repair are hard to find.
Large (for an Uno) sized engine.

I have a non-turbo Mk2 Uno and my insurance is about £912 a year (~£76 per month I pay out) ALL INCLUSIVE with a few extras (legal cover etc). I was insured on a Mk3 Ford Transit for 6 months, that cost me almost £120 per month!

Don't know how much the car itself will cost you, but see if you can find any first. They really are very rare.

I guess that you just want the biggest engined Turbo Uno you can find. Any reason why?

Welcome

firstly you won't find a MK2 Uno 1.3 well not one with the original engine as the turbos were all 1.4

It was the MK1 which had the 1.3 .

Unos do come up now and then on e-bay, pistonheads and Turbocollective.

Finding a good one is getting harder than ever and you'll need to do research on what to avoid.
