getting an MOT involves you being handed a toolbox and getting your hands dirty. Car died on the rolling road but was brought back to life with a quick tap on the fuel pump Replacement ordered. Passed with no advisories. Happy days!! :yes: :d :yes:

To give some idea of the baseline cost, I built my 1.6 SDV absolutely stock from the factory, using the Westfield starter and completion kit. Obviously, you pay extra for the finishing stuff in the completion kit, but it's all IVA compliant and you know it fits. With a donor that cost £600, the actual cost to get mine on the road (including IVA, Registration, Tax, tools etc) was just over £11k. Therefore, you will need to save £5k from a bog standard build to meet your budget. I'm with Gary, £6k is just too optimistic for the average builder and I guess £6k is theoretically possible for those on a higher plane, like Smokey Mow but even he would struggle. You might get away with £7.5/£8K with some serious scrabbling and compromise. Personally, I'd wait until the budget was healthier or buy one already built and tweak it.

Thats another tick off the bucket list ( a run out in Simons V8 Monster ) with flames licking at my left elbow dam that Westy is FAST & It'll take a while for the singed hairs on my arm to grow back but well worth it Simon, that car of yours is insanely brilliant, I love it Cheers mate that mad my night

Crossed paths with Simons V8 on the way home through Aylesbury - It's a flame spitting monster I can confirm ! I tried hard to keep up with him on the Wendover bypass but he disappeared into the distance with flames pouring out of both sides - loved it !

I might hAve on in my barn. Will have a look tomorrow

Good luck with the search but I think you might find it easier to find an honest MP.
