If you want a cheap car why not buy a Cavalier? You can get them for between £500-£1500, an H reg 2.0 CDi for instance with all the electrics, power steering, etc. will probably set you back about £700 for an excellent condition example.

There are very very few manuals out there. Much rarer, much quicker and much more fun!
