Whatever you get will always be a compromise.

Buy a 'normal' car (with towbar), car trailer and a proper track day car - eg ex-racer.

+1 if I was to get one.

£5k on a decent tow car and trailer, the rest on a track car.

I did find that Caterham's are fairly easy to attach your bike to the back with 🙂

I loved my Caterham 7. Not bothered about cars so much these days, but a bit less obvious than some of the, (admittedly brilliant) suggestions, and if you could find them,

+ another for Ariel Atom.

(only because I want one)

I still love the original pillion version - don't really see that about now.

If you want to drive to the track, then a 996 turbo would be a great choice for the journey and the track

Westfield / Caterham would be excellent on the track but maybe too much of a compromise on the way there.

(I may be slightly biased as I am selling a 996 turbo!)

Best car I ever drove sportingly was a TR7 which I borrowed from a friend and spent the evening doing laps around Pudsey St Lawrence cricket ground.

I highly recommend one of those and that circuit.

Forgot one, bro-in-law has the funniest sub 7 second 200bhp monster. Ideal for getting to the track, setting an indecent lap tome, taking bikes there and all after dropping the kids off at school. Yep why not consider a Meriva VXR?

VX220 maybe. That Lotus vid was brilliant.

+1 for Honda S2000.

Quick, responsive, good brakes, hell of a lot of fun when the V-Tec kicks in.
