+1 to Associated B44.x.
I have had one for a couple of years while I learnt to drive and my son also now has one. They are really easy to drive and that is important for a young lad rather than fighting a potentially quicker but hard to drive car.
Parts are really cheap with great availability. I have not had to rebuild diffs very often and it really is not hard. My sons diff has not been rebuilt for 6 months now and is still smooth. I am told I will need to change the oil in gear diffs far more frequently as they break down and change their weight.
You can get a great roller for a 100 quid or so and learn all he needs to learn while his skills develop.
