 a 1.4 petrol Berlingo Multispace with a full length sunroof (and a towbar) would be the perfect car. 

Found one, local and cheap. But...

How hard is a head gasket I wonder (for an idiot like me who's never done one before).

I'm sure when I was in Turkey years ago the local rally drivers.. I mean taxi drivers had them in 7 seater form with two fold down side ward facing seats... Are they available in UK in 7 seater??

GIB! The enablers of AS will guide you through a headgasket change. These do like to eat their head gaskets; the parentals had a ZX with the 1.4 and it ate it once, was fixed under warranty and had started to show symptoms again after a couple of years when a hasty decision to move it on was made. Lively motors though, they like to rev.

It's very tempting - needs saving I think. Will ring him tomorrow.

Do it. You won't get this chance again. Plus those early three door ones are uber rare, not that that means anything.

... and if you get it and can't do the head gasket after all, someone on here will almost certainly buy it off you for not much less than whatever you buy it for 🙂

 

possibly me

To be fair that Berlingo is probably worth a punt if only for the plate. Couple of judiciously placed screws and clearly* says WANKER
