Any ideas of which cars I should be looking in for a small heater. I've used a classic mini one before but wondered if there are any alternatives.

There was a similar thread a short while back and someone suggested Polo 6N (compact-ish with a self-contained wiring loom needing only live and earth) - there are no photos of them on the interwebz though.

Small Japanese vans are good, try the Mitsubishi L300.

mk1 polos are well know for kit cars, but aren't that common, and seem to either sell very quickly or for a premium.
You may well already know, but with mini ones, some of the late 90's cars (Might just be the MPIs?) had a 2 speed heater which has a plastic casing making them much lighter than the old steel ones.

What age Polo one have you got in there Andy? I'd be interested to know if the later ones are also handy as standalone units, as they'd be a hell of a lot easier to source than the mk1's, and probably a lot cheaper than Mini ones.
