Third party vs fully comp

So Greg is likely to share driving with me when we go to Wales soon. He is covered to drive my car 3rd party. My car, according to http://www.webuyanycar.com, is worth a grand total of fifty quid (the tyres cost me four times that! And it doubles in value when I put petrol in it!).

Given these facts, is it worth insuring Greg to drive my car fully comp? Not sure if this is a factor, but I have RAC roadside recovery.

At that value, why aren't you just third party covered yourself?

Price difference was negligible and covers possessions in the car and windscreen replacement.

I asked for that once and they told me there was no price difference for a sufficiently worthless car: they were ensuring me fully comp for nothing.

Over the last few years Third Party has been priced as higher or even higher than comprehensive to try to dissuade people using it.
