Paul - I picked up the little NC30 I used in 2004, for under £500 as a non- runner, with dented tank (non leaking) and very dirty & rusting in places - all cosmetic tho.
Didnt take long to get the carbs sorted, added new plugs, filled the dent on the tank & popped a cheap set of 9** fairings on (after spraying them with aerosls in a rather fetching Ducati type red - but you didnt need to look closely at it tho!)
Flogged the lights & a few other bits on ebay.
Even with getting Mark (MHP) to redo the zaust a bit so it didnt grind, tyreman selling me a pair of tyres, its total cost to get it onto track was £700
Happy shopping
