D300 is a nice body for the money you're willing to spend.
Look at the D300s as well.

Ok so, I'm looking to buy a second hand Nikon DSLR body - I don't have an awful lot of money to spend (besides, I'm not a serious enough photographer to justify anything fancy) so it's probably going to have to be something older, like a D300. Any thoughts?
I've got a good selection of lenses, a couple of 35mm bodies (FM2, F100) and a cheap digital body (D50) which I bought years ago. The d50 has been all over the world and done a great job, but 6.1MP just isn't cutting it anymore and the camera is a bit worse for wear.
The d300 appeals because it's not too bulky, AFAIK is generally well regarded and you can pick up a body with decent shutter count for ~£250 ish on ebay.
