Thanks Robert, Both the cars you are talking about sound spot on. I've got about £4000 to spend and at this point don't have any more to spend on any major work that might need doing. I want to make sure that I don't buy the wrong car, I have before and hopefully this time i'll be buying with my head / gut instinct not my heart!... But it's difficult, I know what to look for to an extent but I still got burnt a few years ago... What sort of money would you be looking for for the dark blue one? Could you give me some more detail? Thanks again for the advice, i'm a relative novice really so all advice is gratefully received! Tom

last year there was a cracking one for sale in cambridge went for a bargin price of £2500 so its not unheard of dropping onto a solid car but these days everyone knows what there worth so unless you get one that needs some work ( maybe stuff easier todo like a blone engine , ropey interior etc ) then i would aim around the figure i said  the higher you go the better the car but always have a good look close at anything you think of buying and see whats out there gut instinct is a must ! dont follow your heart if you dont mind hanging on till next year i have one i will be doing in dark blue , also another one which i have in the pipeline will have a remote OD and customised interior dark blue again so a few options
or if the money is right i might part with my main project but thats in a class of its own completly overhauled and customised with full chromework and remote OD , brand new Torq Thrust alloys + tyres but i would want around £6500 min for that car to part with it unless i take the chromework off the car and go standard everythings for sale at the right price 
kind regards
