Im after a cheapish track car thats going to be reliable, fun and british.
My options so far-
Turbo or VVC the 120
Get a stripped 180
Metro VVC
Mini Cooper
Its only talk at the minute and until funds allow.
Any suggestions?

Get a MGF 1.8 VVC, with HGF, repair the gasket and you have a cheap car!!!!
Ready for the track.

Thats a great idea Pete :clap: Always fancied one aswell.
However, just browsing the for sale section and Dan has posted a link to a ZS track car...just need to find out what mods it has.
I would say a cheap tf or zr loads of fun to be had for a few
Hundred quid.

ZS180 ftw. Get a cheap one and strip it out, sell the parts and would be easier to maintain than an F as everything is under the cover and behind the seats. I would say an F would be a mare in the wet unless it was well sorted and with track rubber. They can be very twitchy if running crap rubber. Saying that I still wouldn't mind a VVC version to play around with.

Ive enquired about a track ready ZS 180 but its not available till October...
What about Metro GTI - 135 looks stock but a lotus eating machine.
Split suspension and running gear from Drayton Manor race car
Comes with a orginal 6r4 bucket seat.
Its my boses toy as he is having a clear out as he races a 1.4 Zr in metro cup, Rover BRM in PBIC and ZR160 in trophy/PBIC
Very good condition tax and ticket circa 1200 from memory.
Metro GTI are well over looked and giant killing machines, after all rover spun them round and called it a MGF:beer2:

im at this stage again.
Personally you cannot beat the smiles of a VVC metro, there is just somthing about them thats totally awsome they are so fast and sound lovely.
the problem is for a track car, a std zs handles so well from stock, and they also sound so lovely, just not so fast.
the tro i had would stick to a m3 at the lower and upper end of the speedo.
conclusion, sadly the tro would probably cost more than a 180. the 180 has more street cred. I am so tempted to buy a vvc tro again
