Drive away insurance for 19 year old

Hi, I'm looking to buy myself a car and was wondering what the insurance implications would be for driving the car away. I'm 19, had an accident very early on so still have 1 year's no claims and have found annual quotes for the car for around £1500. Problem is I'm planning on buying it now and having it declared SORN until summer when I would start the policy properly. Is there a way of doing this legally without paying £350 for a months cover from eCar?

Thanks in Advance

Tim,

I understand that you could not find any temp insurance cover for yourself because of your age and the shortest period of insurance that you can get is for 1 month with eCar. However, I think it is best if you ask your parents or any friend who is at least 21 to get a short term insurance for driving your car from the dealer. It would cost them around £10 to do that thereby making you a huge saving. You can then give Statutory Off Road Notification (SORN) for your vehicle as you planned and when you're ready to drive it, get a proper annual car insurance.
