John,
I'd recommend the RB67. You should have no issues finding one in good shape for 300-400 quid. They are serious workhorses. I shot one for years before moving to Hasselblads.
If you just want to get your feet wet in medium format then look at the Yashica TLR. You should be able to find one for < 50 quid. They are also fine cameras that will service you well for a very long time. I still have my TLR and use it in situations where I won't carry my 'blad (beach or other harsh environments) and if I do kill it I'm not out thousands.
A Friend of mine has just bought an Rb67 for around £170. but ive looked into the Tlr's,which im now thinking seems like a sound investment. it starts me off on medium format i guess,which means i can diverse onwards if i feel
If you like TLR's the Mamiya C33 is a great option with interchangeable lenses. The prices on these are very good these days.
