I'm looking for a fun car that I can do the occasional track day with, my search criteria is pretty simple:

Fun & Lightweight
Ability to tow a single motorcycle trailer
Under approx £5000

It seems a lot of stuff isn't type approved, for example I like the idea of a Mazda MX5 but only the MK1 is approved for towing and they are getting a bit too old now.

Is there something obvious that I've overlooked?

Megane r26 maybe in budget for one on higher miles. 172/182 Clio, Unsure if either are suitable for towing despite owning both.

I'm racking my brains but struggling.

Thought of the Cooper S but it's not type approved.

Same with Civic Type R

Thought about the Fiesta ST but they aren't either frown

What about this?

No MOT but looks in good nick and it would leave enough for some nice wheels and tyres and maybe big brake kit.
