Nathan have you considered getting a lighter track car that you could tow yourself either on a dolly or a trailer. If it's light enough you don't need it braked you could build a trailer as a trailer is always the best option as then if the worst happens you can still tow it home even if it is a bit of a faf getting a 3 wheeled car onto a trailer. For under a grand and under 750kg you can get a dodgy 80s/90s kit car, a little kei car like a suzuki cappuccino or honda beat (very close to 750kg) or something very cool like a reliant kitten (RWD and easy to drop a bike engine in) or an old school mini just for a starters.
Minis have got pretty expensive now and I'm pretty happy with the 106, I think I will just rent a trailer for a while and get my mums boyfriend to tow it the eventually do the test to be able to tow up to 3500kg or whatever it is

Also agree'd on a proper trailer, my neighbour does stock cars so uses a beavertail - the state the cars end up in from even low impact collisions is surprising though, would only take a sideways kerb clip to ruin the beam and stop you being able to use an A frame.
Yeah exactly so trailer will be my best option
