Yeah, I'd be looking for a 12-1500 base car a 1989-91 GL or something I'd guess. At least that's what I've seen since I've been looking again. There's one in Lincs with a knackered clutch for like 1200 on Gumtree which might fit the ticket as I'm going to mess about with it anyway so don't want a mint one (that would be somewhat sacrilegious).
