£300 will buy you a car of sorts, certainly a project, but how much more will you need for repairs ?
I know you're absolutely bursting to get something, but it might be better to save some more pennies so you can actually do some projecting on the project when you get it.

I'll keep an Eye open for anything in and around Minehead, there's always someone with a mini somewhere about who wants to flog it! I'm guessing the ability to drive it would me most desireable then?

when you say it runs, are you looking for one that is already on the road?

no doesnt need mot or tax an mot failure would suit me as long as its not too extreme.

This might sound daft, but you're actually better of getting something that has solid bodywork but doesn't run/work. It is far easier to pop on new brakes/engine/subframe than it is to start major rust removal and panel replacement.
Cheaper too...
