A Veloce 2.0TS and Lusso 2.0TS should both be the same insurance group (14) at least according to Parkers. A 2.0JTS is group 16 the same as the 2.5 V6 but even then nothing like double the amount. Plus I recall the JTS was launched with interior update in 2002, which yours isn't. FWIW I pay less than £500 for the V6 156 Veloce but I maybe a bit older than you Cheers Tony |
