in that case its an SS1 1300CVH (slow...)
or a Sabre 1.4 Kseries. Much prettier and loads of K series tuning potential and still GRP/galv and proper wheel drive

id go for a 1400 ford puma. nice,well balanced cars if you can get over the hairdresser looks! quite rapid too,and i bet you could shed loads of
weight from standard car and still meet class regs..

I had a couple of class wins in standard production in a 172 a couple of seasons ago - car was cheap and bought off ebay from a service station on the
M5 in the dark two nights before it's first event!
I'd look carefully at the regs - some championships apply a 0.5 factor for diesels then a 1.4 factor for turbo, making a 1.9 TD Golf / Bora
perfect for up to 1400cc.....
