On a lowly budget of £1000, what is the best buy car you could get?

Me and my family will be looking to purchase a car later this year and wanted to know what £1000 would buy you both in terms of value, reliability, etc etc.
Answer
A old honda civic or toyota about anything is probably yoru best bet for reliability and cost effectiveness. 1,000 pounds isnt much to work with, can you get any sort of financing?
