Mancboy-Give the RB5 a miss mate. I know the guys who own Keighley Trade Centre personally and I pop round on a regular basis.
If you haven't seen the car in the flesh dont bother wasting a journey to go and have a look at it. It looks like its done 90,000 miles and its evident that it was a company car rather than someones pride and joy. Others might be a bit more expensive but worth the extra money.
I've nothing against these guys but wouldn't want a fellow enthusiast to get his fingers burnt!!

Get a my99 or later, these start at just under £10k. I would think even from a dealer you would pick up something well within your price range, just don't forget to haggle..
I am upset my own car has now done over 50k miles, it was very low mileage when I bought it a year and a half ago. If I had bought one with 60k on the clock I would be up to 100000 miles by now.
With your budget, you will be able to get a really nice car with low miles, just don't get carried away buying the first car you see!!!!!!
