What's the best one?

All options I suspect carry a level of risk.  Perhaps it is what you can deal with in this regard that will sway the decision what exactly to purchase. 

Sums it up extremely well David.

I appreciate the discussion guys, with many great points offered.

At this stage I would like a sound runner for very regular use, that has potential for being improved over time.

I am also toying with the idea of some future informal motor sport. Oh the possibilities !!

I am checking carsales on an almost hourly basis!

You might also wish to search this for sale board for cars in older ads that may not have been sold.

Yes, I will be checking there as well!
