Well spotted Steve.

think he paid 9k or close to for it from memory , i was bidding on it to , another one he  has blown his brains out on , he pays way over the top for stuff

Similar tales in TVR land. Presumably sellers love him, 'cause he appears to pay top dollar for everything, even pushing auctions up.

 

Trouble is those looking to genuine resorption jobs hate him, for the same reason, he's bid a lot of what once would have been enthusiasts project cars up beyond a financially sensible point for the restoration work required.

thanks for the info lads. you wouldn't happen to know if the car was originally built by westfield and the alleged bhp correct, regards DD

[SteveD]

you would need to speak to westfield about the build though the car had obviously been rebuilt so factory built or not go's out the window

,the engine is anyones guess though tbh

 i wouldnt even consider the car though , look elsewhere seriously

Check out ph?, there's a v8 green black 58 plate.

Anyone know this ones history been up for sale a few times now?, what is it with v8 cars on build mileage?
