In theory any touring car would work fine for that, indeed a basic Tamiya TT-01 is probably a good start as its simple, tough and cheap to run, all of which are good for new starters.

Yeah. I didn't mean to imply that Bury exclude them, but realistically I wouldn't have let Max race there last year at an average meeting, because he is still only very young (A rank Novice) and there is never really many heats where he can fit into.
A plasma storm weaving erratically on the circuit might seem fun,
but I wouldn't want to have used up all the goodwill of the guys when they collide with him for the n'th time. Would have made me feel awkward.
Also Urmston races twice a week (Weds eves and Sat mornings) They race Mardave stock cars and Mardave Bangers on an Oval. Kiddies are more than welcome there as well.
All these clubs are full of friendly chaps and occasionally chappettes who are willing to give you some advice. My only advice is dont buy anything until you chat to someone at Bury / Cheadle as they will always offer a cost effective solution.
