Thought about fixed, but want something I can use for a bit more than commuting.
Latest option is a Tifosi that I found in Loot.

Don't know much about Tifosis but they look ok.

Sounds alright, and while not exactly the spec I was after, would be fine for commuting duties.
He's asking for £400, which is a little on the pricey side. He bought it for £760 new 2 years ago, and has only replaced the chain, front mech and handlebar tape since using it to commute from Finchley to UCL and back.
So I would imagine that chain, cassette, chainrings, and poss jockey wheels and B/B will need replacing.
If I like the look of it, I will try to barter him down to nearer the £300 mark...
