Be patient is my advice, and go test as many as you can which isn't easy as they aren't all that common. I test drove the first one that happened to turn up for sale locally and it was mighty tempting being liquid yellow but had its issues so I resisted.
Keep your eye on the usual sources and try Facebook and Instagram too.

Have you seen any at that? I’m seriously struggling to find anything remotely nice.

Occasionally -
Red or albi blue is your best bet for lower end price

I was very tempted to sell my 200 a few weeks ago as I've ordered a Alpine A110, I was offered a Very good PRICE But managed to resist, Be patient they Do Come up, I think a 200 Cup is a better proposition, I've never been a lover of the key Card/push button start and a cup comes with an ignition key

Thanks for all of your feedback. I’ve spotted a few on about 80-120k miles at varying prices, my plan is to do the occasional relaxed track day but also use as a daily driver. Do miles bother these engines or will one with say 120k be okay for a good thrashing? Providing of course it’s been serviced and belts have been done?. I’m unsure whether to wait for a really good one with low miles or just embrace a slightly less valuable car since my plan is to have fun with it and give it the occasional ring of the neck. What’s your guys thoughts?

Servicing and condition is all. Forget mileage to some extent - if anything, I'd be slightly suspicious of a car with very low mileage in thinking that the majority of components would likely to be OEM fit and need replacing in short order.

I certainly wouldn't be looking at a lower mileage car in a colour that was merely 'OK' - compared to a higher miler that had been looked after well and came in the colour that I preferred.

Wait and get the car you want. Imo.

Thanks for all of your help guys. I waited and found a lovely LY rs200 with few little modifications on just under 70k. Brakes need freshening up and abit of a polish but overall I’m very happy with how it looks and sounds.
