Default Cheap RunAround for up to £1k????

Well as someone smashed my Jag up I need a new run around to get to and from work as not enjoying the train everymorning at all.

I dont mind diesel or petrol as long as it uses less than the Jag (10-12mpg)

Does anyone know if i can get anything cheap to run around in for less than grand?? or any cars they would recommend?

I dont want to spend more than that as will be buying a proper car soon and dont want to have money tied up in a car
