I have a F355 spider and then this is my cheap daily sh**ter.....
unlike you, i believe that the op wanted to stand at least half a chance of making it to work 
In March I returned home (Switzerland) after a few years working in Asia.
I decided I would buy the cheapest car (running and in relatively good conditions) I could find online within a radius of 70km from my home.
Ended with a 1999 Peugeot 206 with approx 100k miles. It cost approx 450 Pounds. So far so good...touch wood ;-)

Ive only gone and purchased a pretty little 944 S2 from very nice 65 year old chap called Cliff, he's done all the mechanicals and its a very honest car, not concours, but very honest, all serviced, MOT'ed, £3k plus of recent work done lots of new stuff, brakes, tyres all round etc etc, he's suffering with his back hence the sale to me, luckily for me I got to him before weekend, he had several people wanting to place a deposit in his account before viewing!!

Love your thinking, very nice car that will only increase in value which was one of my criteria, the other was to stick to a £5k budget, which I'm pleased to say that I did, previous owner has a documented insurance backed eval of £6995.
Happy days

Just got this as my daily driver
Not quite the cheap 2nd car, but should be fun!

This is my cheap daily hack to get me to work and back (only gets used for commute), 28 mile round trip. Paid 5000 notes for it a year ago with 3K miles on the clock, worth about the same today.
It's a RenaultSport Twingo 133 Cup (same chassis as the old Clio Cup I believe, just shorter overhangs on the body). Perfect for my usual route to/from work as some of the roads are quite narrow (I've bumped wing mirrors on a couple of occasions) so anything much wider would be a bit squeaky bum time.
Also quite amusing to drive as most other drivers see it like a C1, 107 or Aygo, but it will easily keep up with the average turbo diesel German rep mobile.
