skymike Posted September 22, 2013 Posted September 22, 2013 Hi, I’m looking for my 2nd Westy. I previously had a wide body 2ltr zetec running on carbs and fast road cam. I’m looking for something more feisty either: · Duratec on Throttle bodies with lots of scope for further engine work · High spec zetec · Medium spec red top · Must be 200 bhp + kind of spec Other things on my shopping list: · Full weather gear · Must be in A1 condition inside and out, Recent service/MOT/Tax, Must be ready to go without work needed, not tracked or used in wet · Would like to have full build history and recent RR print outs if possible · LSD, adjustable suspension, disc all round – road setup Anybody out there that can help? Budget suggestion - £8k to £12k Thanks, Mike
Speed Freak Posted September 22, 2013 Posted September 22, 2013 I wouldn't rule out a car that's been tracked- the chances are its been tested under harsher environments, and thus better developed to cope with it.
skymike Posted September 22, 2013 Author Posted September 22, 2013 Fair point. I guess I'm open to it if the right car came along....

AdamR Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 I wouldn't rule out a car that's been tracked- the chances are its been tested under harsher environments, and thus better developed to cope with it. Echo that - I wouldn't hesitate to buy a car that's been on track, it shows up any issues very quickly and it would be rare for an owner not to go ahead and fix such an issue!
skymike Posted September 25, 2013 Author Posted September 25, 2013 Thanks chaps, good advice. On the weather gear, it is more the side screens that I am after, the rest is just re-sale worthiness
