Cant go too far wrong with a french diesel, summat like a 206 van.
Friend of mine picked one up for £300 W-reg 100k miles
Easy enough to work on...

XR4i...... very carefully thrashed at every given opportunity especially in the rain, taxed mot'd and was even serviced about a 1000 miles ago.

Get an old Volvo, one of the rear wheel drive ones. 240, 740, 760, 940, 960. The bigger the engine the cheaper they are, I bought my 3ltr 960 for £575. It's towed plenty of cars for many miles, I use it every day, I've had it 18 months now, only thing I've had to do is change the radiator.

Go for the oil burner Escort van,put engine in Roadster,IVA with oil burner and then, the cunning part of the plan. Fit something nasty !
