Old cars are rusty and shit and grim for a first project, need specialist metalworking and / or paint skills and end up costing a fortune and driving meh. Kit cars are just nuts and bolt and need nothing more than a socket set and a willingness to learn. They're also little and light so can be worked on in a single garage by one man and can be made into supercar eaters for pence.
In rough order of preference:
Sylva Striker / Stylus / Fisher Fury
Caterham (if rich)
Mk Indy
Tiger
Westfield
Dax
An ironing board
An actual human poo
Robin Hood
@danstuff probably has something you can buy / steal.
Friend had a Fisher Fury he used to race and loved it, reckoned it was a really well balanced car, used a Ford Kent engine bored to 1750 running a decent cam and Twin 40's
So much this.
Though kit not tit.
