500 should get you a very nice example dude.

£500 should get something tasty.
Get shmoozing with the senior citizens in the area. They have them tucked away in their garages!
(actually DON'T. Save the good ones for the beardies and mess around with an already modified one. If you have to mod a good 'un: Keep it simple and
reversible 
)

And reading should have been Soton
The first rule of 300's state they are always for sale at the other end of the country to where you need one

All of these people are right.
And without them, I would have had less 300s.
