For a shell I'd be looking up to aroud the 1200 mark.
For running I'd be looking at anything up to around 2500.
Will still look at any outside that price range, but that's what I've been 'authorised' for .
If some pictures can be emailed/posted that would be awesome. Now that I've actually managed to get her to look at a picture of one, she's a lot more lenient (turns out she actually likes them!).
Thanks all

EDIT: I should probably mention that I'm hoping to be able to use it for a daily for the next few months while I organise the rest of the parts. Don't have much storage space at the moment unfortunately due to an extra 2 people moving into our house. Hence I've lost my garage for the next few months.
