Perhaps money saving not buying newer car any ways to improve classic, e.g headlights, seat comfort. 

Are the seats or headlights any better on the different car? What's the difference?

I never seen a "model variant" selector before.  
That's my something new learned for today 😁

Putting 2013 includes next model which I do not like.  Also buying too far away can cause problems of car has faults.  Sorry this has involved unnecessary searches.
Thanks Grumpy, sound advice.  Certainly won't buy any car with electronic handbrake.

You're looking at cars which are 8yo at the newest. I really wouldn't have too much in the way of expectations about consumer rights comeback against a trade seller.

This is very wise - there are many threads on this forum where people buy a car from a dealer at the other end of the country, apparently without viewing or test drive first and then it all gets difficult if there is any issue.  Staying sufficiently local is easier.
Having said that,

Thanks both , points taken.  I bought current car at 7 years old from main dealer with one year full warranty.  Good fortune, owner had bought and serviced car there.  PX they just wanted to get rid of.  Full credit received same customer service as if spending 50,000 pounds.
