If it helps dinx I paid £900 for mine. It has a little rust on the seams at the rear but I'll treat it this year and it should be fine. It's a 1.9 water cooled petrol with 70,000 miles and had 10 months MOT and 4 months tax plus a folder full of reciepts. It laso had a recon engine in 1996.
As Tobz has stated there are issues with proper maintenance on these to do with antifreeze. I have no idea whether mine hjas been done properly so I just have verything crossed and will be doing a complete coolent change soon.
Hope this helps,
Nick
