On the lookout

[TVR Sagaris]

I (fairly urgently) need another car. It needs to be at least 20 years old and no more than 1.3l. If you spot an old Metro/Fiesta/whatever for sale with an MOT and cheap, I'd really, really appreciate the details.

Thanks.

Where abouts are you based fella? I know a lad who's a mechanic but also buys and sells cars, I'll tell him to keep a look out for you

I'm based in south Manchester but I'm in north Manchester in the week and I don't mind travelling - Merseyside etc is fine.

The market for cheap bangers seems to have been destroyed by the scrappage scheme so I'm struggling: even old Metros fetch silly money at the moment. Ebay looks like my best bet, but I'm basically looking for one of these:

K10 Nissan Micra
Austin/Rover Metro
Citroen AX
Fiat Panda
Peugeot 205
Ford Fiesta
Renault 5
Vauxhall Nova

Preferably with an MOT for under £500.

Mini needs a new front subframe so will be off the road for a while
