PSLewis is spot on.

Very few nice low mileage un molested classics left.

Agree re. the wagon thing though. You're more likely to find a nice unmolested wagon over a saloon, as the chavved up ones are more often than not saloons - erm, innit?

zippy!

not saying there are no nice classics about, there are some great ones on here but also plenty of laxarse lighted wrc graphics ones too, but the same does go for newages.

The problem being classics are so cheap now anyone can buy one, ruin it and run it into the ground, further tarnishing it's once fine name

The gradual decline, even on here in 6 years is there for people to see - but I'm keeping mine

I think that's the issue with the classic- cheap to buy initially but not so cheap to keep well maintained.
Thinking about it, probably the same with this RB5; service book was stamped up, up to a point, then nothing after about 60/70k.
The wagon sounds like an option.
