Just spoke to the guy, sounds sound. He's saying there's a small hole in the roof, any ideas whether that's amendable or does it need to be a new roof?Another cheap car sports leather a few issues but still a cheap motor.You could sell the seats for the price of the car

It may be patched i suppose a new roof can fitted from £350 up approx but have seen repair kits for roofs so may be workable.
@John767 let me get this right,
you are thinking of flying best part of 300 miles south to buy a £875 car that the current owner traded in a month ago.
The car has been modified for drifting and has a welded diff.
You are then going to drive this car 300 miles back north, having never driven a car with a welded diff.
Well, I'm always up for a daft challenge and having driven a fairly well sorted 150bhp Chevette with a welded diff on the road, have a rough idea what it'll be like. Honestly, you need your bumps felt mate!
If you manage to get it home, the cost of getting it and a diff swap make it not worth it. If you are involved in an accident I'll bet your insurance will be very much void and I bet they won't insure you if you declare the diff.
Keep looking....

That does sound like a very solid piece of advice Smiffy, specially the insurance thing.. The getting there and back won't be that terrible, found a megabus for £15. I was quite worried about the diff but but Bozzy was saying it's not bad (he's driven it just now).
I wouldn't probably mind having a car that likes to go sideways.. Just the tires.... Would definitely mind paying the tires

Did @Bozzy get a test drive?Just spoke to Bozzy who's actually went to see the car and it sounds sound!
Also just communicating with the guy Antm suggested which also sounds like a sound car..
there we go again..
If you buy the car - oil check - water check - periodically - include also a new puncture repair inflation kit - and above all else drive the car carefully - and the best of luck!!
