Done it

Gone and bought one. Pick it up later this week

2005 model, just less than 100k miles, although it's had a "new" engine recently as the famed bottom end problem reared its head apparently. Needed an MoT which consisted of a brake pipe and a tire, and a clutch which I picked up the test drive. Chap is very kindly doing it all for me and pick it up soon!
Looks fairly tidy underneath, no nasty crispy rusty bits and generally
Looking forward to getting it out on the lanes and onto the gravel.
