MX3 Track toy??

[Z4MCSL]

So I STILL havent done a track day but I am looking at Car Limits in Essex as sounds fantastic.

I have a banged up c70 t5 which has been part stripped and is off the road which I am going to see if I can get through the MOT and take that up but whether it gets through the MOT or not at somepoint I want to swap to something smaller and lighter.

now EVERYONE is telling me to get an MX5 due to RWD, cheap, massive following etc, and I do want one BUT I just cant fall in love with it right now and think perhaps it will be something I would appreciate more once I have actually learned to drive a track a little.

I sort ofwant something quirky and different that has a bit of character. I am more than happy for it to have lots of flaws and not be the perfect toy (i.e FWD is obviously not ideal) so I ended up finding out about the MX3s?

I would obviously love one with a 2.5 V6 conversion but due to budget and also just as I want to walk before I can run I am looking at a 1.8 V6

What are people's thoughts on this as a very budget track toy...loooks like you can pick them up for £500!!!#

Cheers

Yeah I do appreciate it will be more expensive over the longer term but I would rather spend less money now to test the idea - as well as cash flow being king etc
