Which car should I buy?

[General Accident]

Saw a vintage heat recently and quite fancied a go but what car is relatively driveable, cheapish and has reasonable spares availability? I only really have experience of some Tamiya's and already know that Hornets, Hotshots and Frogs are pants. And buying an RC10 seems almost like a cop out - the one I watched was within a couple of seconds a lap of the moderns which seems to miss the point of vintage. Needless to say it won by a country mile but where's the fun in that?
