British Car Auctions - get one from their big dealer group, part exchange sections, within the sale.

Quite often some reasonable banger bargains their.

Thanks to those who listed the above two sites on MSE :T

Edit: http://www.ukcar.com/features/reg_year.htm proved to be very helpful to me, just for reference. 1996 being a N or P, I think you should be able to get a pretty good runner for your price range. But make sure you ask all the questions before you view the car. I would ask if the car has alarm, e/w, c/l etc, but didn't think to ask if they actually worked ... and the sellers never thought to mention that they didn't work :rolleyes: so, a lot of wasted time and money!
