TBH £300 isnt going to get you a small car woithout it needeing alot of work.

For that price you could pick up something like a 618 or even an 820, ehich with a little tinkering would happily see you through :)

just noticed you are in cheltenham, leave it with me i got some friends up there, i will see what i can find for you.

I am sure you could get a Mk2 214 for that sort of money with little trouble. Might even find an sei for that.

See above topic. £220 for that car seems a bargain. Tbh, with your spare £280, looks like it could be fixed in whatever problems it is and sorted on the road. Perfect :D

Would like to buy a 220 turbo. PX welcome.

the 1.4 cost me £1500 for my first driving years insurance so its a bit but not that bad but considering what you get its not bad. The only rover with a smaller engine for that kind of price is a metro rover 100. in 1.1

For that money, you could get a Rover Metro/100 1.1 (check the wheelarches for rust) or an early to mid nineties Rover Mini.
