I'm not interested in turbo's and 4wd crap, something which is light-weight, torquey and handles well. Best times are not my main aim but a car that is lots of fun at the limit.

Bearing in mind the "not wanting to spend too much dinero", you can only think about two cars: Lotus Elise (mk1, looks better, drives better) and Caterham 7's, which hold their value tremendously well so you wont lose much when (if) you resell... good luck

sorry this is a little OT but I have to disagree here. There is a MK2 (or series 2) in the show room at work, and well its looks are growing on me more and more each day, especialy as its sitting next to a MK1 (or series 1).
And the differnce in handling is more of a personal preferance, the series 1 certianly has a repuation for swapping ends with out warning, and Iv seen them catch plenty of people out. The series 2 is ment to be a bit more refined in this area.

However for a race car I would certianly say start with a Series 1, simply because they already have a history, and there are plenty of extra go fast bits, and suspension kits already avliable that are proven to work.
