well has it happened?
built a locsot for the £250 budget?
well i'm going to try. i work for a recycling company so i'm going to try and make a locost from recycled parts and steel wish me look.
Good luck!
I think that you may need more than just luck, do you have any clout with the man upstairs, cos if so start by asking for divine intervention. I recon
if you were realy lucky, and could beg, borrow and steal, it would still be 1K or better.

Im guessing it wont be including SVA and registration/road tax as thats your budget gone there!
You could do it for nothing if there are lots of people who owe you favours or you manage to get lots of stuff for free!
I reckon a scrap yard owner could do it for free! 
Mind you the prices they charge he would probably go straight for the caterham!
i heard the current record is £67
personally i doubt you could do a good job for less than £2500 i think if i was doing with little cash that would be the min amount
The super low figures are only possible with a garage full of old escort parts, barter, favours for mates (plaster a wall for a set of instruments
style), and/or theft (scavenging scrap bins as recommended by Ron isn't legit unless you own the company or the boss is the one that agrees
it's ok).
There are lots of accounting slights of hand, like not counting SVA cost, or new oil(s), new antifreeze etc etc etc.
It's also got harder since the book was first published as MK2 Escorts have shot up in price, scrap yards have figured out Cortina uprights are
worth proper money now and inflation has kicked in.

I believe the record was set, by a guy with a 'scrappy' connection, some years ago at £47.50. Can't see that happening again.
Mine was £1200 onthe road.
it goes and stops.
Thank you.
