Thanks for the welcome everyone. I'm on a pretty tight budget and I've got to sell my MG TF before I can start looking seriously. All being well, I'll have about £4000 but might stretch to £4500. I was thinking of a 2.2 maybe, 80 to 90K miles and a 2003 or 2004. Not too bothered about colour, black, silver or grey would be fine. I think I would only buy something with a full or near full mot with no nasty advisory's. In my experience, an older car with a short mot can sometimes end in tears at mot time. Hello to fellow Salopians, I'm in Shrewsbury and thanks Maxman, that's a very kind offer.
