Nope, sorry, can't equate the first half of that paragraph with the
second ;-)

You should be able to get an insurer to give you a few years NCD if you
can show you've been driving for a while without any incidents (letter
from your fleet manager perhaps?). The premium on a Boxster/SLK at 30
years old should be quite reasonable. You might have better luck with a
broker though. My golf is insured on a matched NCD basis (proper NCD
used elsewhere...) via A-plan (www.a-plan.co.uk)...
