OK so Reason it looks so cheap is that it's been a previous cat d insurance job, but we all know just how little it takes for these cars to have been wrote off.
Maybe worth a punt mate.

Black hatch - ?1995 at a dealer. He'll knock money off for tax at least i reckon - been for sale for a while.

The black one has no belts changed and has plenum rattle. There just seemed too much engine trouble to be worth it.

The silver one in sold, was sold yesterday. (I suspected write off due to repainted rear bumper)

Good hunting though!!

Someone I work with has a blue 06 plate for sale for ?2000ono. don't know much about the car but I think It's done about 70k, only thing is It's probably to far away down in sunny cornwall.

My 180 will be going up for sale soon, watch this space and bare me in mind

Distance really doesn't bother me, I have been to Peterborough for my first mk2 180 and Leighton Buzzard for my mk1 180!

If it meets the other criteria then I still may consider it but would need all the facts and pics etc.

I potentially would be looking for a mk2 ZR or a mk2 110/120 too. Reason being, Kat's Micra has a fecked engine after only 31000 miles and Arnold Clark are sh*te but we have managed to sell it for ?2k and need a replacement car quick sharp.
