2002, 100K, 2.0 engine (I guess this is a petrol, as I believe the Diesels fitted at that time were 1.9's), £300.
Bargain?

It could be, but check it's MOT status and only drive it first! Wing corrosion can be horrendous and check in the boot for evidence of a rear end shunt.

Thanks, John, that's great!
Obviously we are in banger territory here, but I do recall this petrol engine was prone to popping it’s head gasket and oil leaks drowned out the alternator 
Other issues were rear subframe bushes but the MOT should spot these.
All in all a well sorted car - I remember putting a new N/S wing on and was impressed with the lack of corrosion on the inner one.
Red cars suffered massive oxidisation of the paint - as did other motors of the day.

Yeah, my B-in-L had an E21 in red, which was a very faded pinky colour.
Valeted it and polished up the paintwork and when he saw it, he was convinced I'd had it resprayed!
