£1500 will buy you a mint mk1 or a reasonable mk2.

My advice would be to get a pre 2002 mk1 with low miles.

The early ones have far superior build quality and under sealing and generally feel more solid. Around 2002 "Project Drive" was introduced where "unnecessary" components such as heat shields, sound proofing, under sealing etc were dropped.

For £1500 if you shop around you will get a fantastic mk1. Really, with the mk2 yo are paying for the looks.
