Hey fella, welcome,
I'm in West Wales too, choice on Mark 3's aint going to be great! Especially 16 valvers in your price range! I ended opting for an 8v, low mileage which I got, funnily enough, from Aber!! :grin:
Not to knock your idea, just offering some advice. Keep an eye on Classified section and obvious Ebay and Pistonheads sites. Don't be afraid to ask Mark 3 section lot about cars your looking to buy. They are not afraid to give their opinion!!

oh and p.s

the £700 was an insurance quote ....

gnna have around £1200 to spend on the car itself

Well £1200 seems pretty realistic! Might be worth watching out for one for sale of one of the forum regulars as you are likely to get a better car for your money!
Post up on the Mark 3 section that your looking for a Valver, see what people say, they are a great bunch on there!
Also the mark 3 maintenance section has a buying guide bit which is well worth a look to stop you spending your money on something duff!
Good luck mate :wink:
