0% creadit card over 12/24 months would be a good option too .. the most money is in the frame/fork/rear triangle, parts are cheap but if you don't build it yourself then the difference between a £600 used (which requires work which means time and money) and a £1000 new isnt huge IMO.
I have done both, bought a brand new OTP S6L and built up S2L, I did the build mainly to demystify bromptons and for 'fun'.

Often have this with customers... a used one in good nick is £600-800, new is £950-1200 average...
Also. Sjscycles have a p type ex demo with 30% off... shimano dynamo, brooks b17, 6 speed, marathon tyres, rack and fcb telescopic post... email ryan@sjscycles.com if you want it, will be on the website tomorrow. Happy to swap bits around etc except p type and 6 speed - happy to change ratios/components etc.
- either find a used stem or just go super low s type of you don’t want p ;)

@TM @maynardeames @jj72 Thanks for your replies. Really appreciate the info.
So any frame that could be knackered is obviously a no go. That idea partly came from a discussion with a friend who was working as a welder at Brompton who said he could easily access frame parts with slightly off welds, but that was donkeys years ago and not really an option anymore.
Work doesn't do cyclescheme and my ideal Brompton will be customised anyway so I still think that a frame from 2010 onwards with decent components that I can chop and change is the answer.
Something like this:
