I tend to agree with Will. Buy an FJ (front engined or drum-braked rear engined are probably the best value) and just have fun. Should travelling to the EU become easier in the future, then you'll have some great events to enjoy. There is a huge difference in performance between a Brabham BT6 and a Stanguellini which means that drivers of differing abilities in cars of different potential can still have a great race together.
In Historic or Classic FF there is very little performance difference in the cars which could well erode your enthusiasm if you continually get lapped by teenaged hotshoes.
