1.8l 8v 2nt gen golf. big enough to be useful, parts are dirt cheap and it takes crap loads of abuse. Mine had a loose timing belt, when I finally replaced it(1,000 miles or so) the timing was more than -20 degrees off. but it ran quite well, amazingly enough.
of course, that would be the smallest, lowest power model available here, donno the options over your side of the pond. All the cars in the list I've never seen, let alone have any experiance with.
If it were me, and I had a bit more to spend I'd track down a mid 80's Mercedes 240D a nice slow moving tank of a car. Volvo 240 maybe...
