Thanks everyone and in particular Chris for the information. The upshot seems to be that it is best if the vehicle is machinical good, that the driver knows how to do most things on it and that external appearances are not a factor - worse appearence the better, which is where the HJ60 is good because it has to be fairly low appeal to the wrong sorts.
The vehicle I looked at was from a trader who was asking £4300, with an auto box. The car is tatty although it has no corrosion and everything seemed to work. It did not appear to have been seriously off-roaded.
Chris, I would be very interested in anything about buying these things second hand. I would also be interested in any details (price?) of your HJ61. Ta again.
