Recommend a 10-year-old runaround which is cheap to run?
What would you recommend for a second car (a runaround)? My maximum budget is £1000. I'm not worried about goodies, the more basic the better. I used to buy Morris Minor vans but now they're expensive. Looking for a reliable, 10-year-old, practical car or estate which is cheap to run and fix.
