Under 17 car club - and 80s/90s car ideas

Anyone tried one of these for their kids?

Looks like quite a good way to get kids driving at a young age (from 11) so by the time they are 17 they are more competent and safer behind the wheel. When I think about how I drove when I was 17 it is clear that doing something like this would have helped with my initial solo driving exuberances!

This also gives a good excuse to get another car as the family wagon is an auto and the 911 won't really be suitable.

Toying with the following:

- Audi Coupe/Cabrio 2.3 (i.e. 5 Cylinder noise)

- Pug 205 CTi

- Saab 900 Cabrio

- 2.0 straight six BMW cabrio

- Gen 1 Mini Cooper cab (the boring but reliable option)

Clearly this us also just an excuse to get another car from the 80s/90s to tinker with, possibly a soft top as I've not had one for a while. 

Welcome any thoughts on the car club - and random ideas for an ideal car shed. 

I was considering a Toyota Mr2 Mk1 (having had two, having some nostalgia) but to be eligible the car has to have 4 seats.

Anything to get them interested and excited about driving and older cars has to be a good thing. Get them hooked!
We went 50/50 on a Fiesta for K on his 18th birthday last July, so we could do weekend practice to support his driving lessons. Sadly he has shown little motivation.
