clueless newbie

[stewell]

Hi everyone, I'm hoping to become a fully fledged member of your club, problem is I don't have a lot of time to put into turning out a good looking car but would love to have a decent daily runner and do the regular maintenance, and perhaps some minor upgrading from time to time.
I have had a look but without any recent experience of what the going rate is or what the common problems of type 3s are, I was hoping for some sound advice.
how much would I have to pay for a decent looking reliable daily runner?
What could I expect it to cost for annual maintenance?
How much for insurance( male in his 40s)
thanks
