Hi guys
As title, looking for a cheap track car for the misses and me and wondered whether a MX5 in standard format would do and be fairly reliable.
Limits will be lower than dedicated one buts it's fun I'm after
Thoughts
Cheers

So it seems that what I have to look for is not a shagged example but a reasonable mileage mechanical sound one.

Get a CG-Lock for belt ,rollover/half cage and decent brakes but nothing too fancy then to go fast get some instruction.

Cheers for replies

You can have fun in anything, but some cars are just more fun in my opinion. I took my dad's chipped A6 Avant 3.0TDI around and exactly because the brakes gave up so soon it wasn't fun. The Mk2 MX-5 that also went was passed around like a tray of soft biscuits at an old folks home and drove consistently all day, sliding and bobbing around like you just can't do in an average hatchback.
