Thrustyjust Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Looks tidy enough for the money. Seems pretty legit for what it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowy892 Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share Posted March 26, 2016 Thanks Thrustyjust, in your opinion would you spend a few more pounds i.e. £2000 looking for a better model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrustyjust Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Snowy, depends on what you want out of a car. As it stands, its seems a pretty useable car. You could buy it and put 2k into it with making it more you, as you want a car. You will find the car pretty quiet with that induction and exhaust. You might want to chage it to a side silencer etc. Interior looks great and wouldn't change that, but that's the joy of a Westfield, its a personal thing unlike a Caterham, where there seems to be purists who don't like people changing anything.

snowy892 Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share Posted March 26, 2016 Thanks for the advice on the exhaust, never knew that. When I read your first reply, it was yer it looks ok, next post, pretty usable you might want to change a few things. LOL. I am struggling though, just want to get driving, knowing really to wait and meet some owners at Stoneleigh and have a chat with them. I was going for a caterham but price and things being standards Westfield was the way forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrustyjust Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 I just responded to your comment of spending an extra 2k on a car. So the comment of buying it and spending 2k on that one, making it more your car. If this is your first Westfield, then it is a basic and totally useable car for sale. Decent cars don't hang around for long as well. You could , of course just buy and run it and then maybe in the winter start the tinkering. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
