Yeh I'm not THAT bothered about how the car looks at the moment. And a 1.4 would actually be better for me because my current car is a 1.8 and the insurance and fuel costs are really hurting. Especially now i'm on VERY low wages.
Sideways fun and being able to not care TOO much about the car all the time would be great. Also my girlfriend lives in Harrow so I need something reliable and good on a motorway.
Been looking on here, ebay, pistonheads, auto trader and driftworks.com and still not found anything. But then I don't really know exactly what I am looking for.
Really wanted to sort this all out by the end of the month as my HUGE insurance bill comes through soon

well shoot for a 1.4 man. The b14s are bulletproof (litterally) and low tax. Carbs are the best of the lot too and timing chain for added forgetability.
Mpgs on all 300s is pretty poor, theyre detuned from factory for reliability so horses and mpg are a sacrifice for always starting and always getting you there.
try and get a scabby one, as minters are worth keeping mint and the influx of sliders is eating them all up.
Strip, rattlecan, bored=fail.
Happens every day so a LOT come up for sale. Yoy can still get a good un for wheel money:
