Exclamation Wanted: 740/760 turbodiesel manual

Looking for a turbo diesel 740/760, saloon or estate.
Must be a manual gearbox.
Must run and drive, but I'm competent with a welder and a socket set if it needs some work. an MOT would be ideal.
Not fussed about location too much, but the closer to Winchester, the better.

I cannot recall a single 740 diesel in the for sale sections in 2015. 1-2 940s per month show up on a well known auction site so I think you will have to settle for a 900 or face a rather long wait.
There is what seems to be an excellent car on gumtree; 96, auto 110k, well worth the trip to West Lothian.

This one is an auto but you could do a manual conversion
