john10speed Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 The Original Boghouse Blue I've had this car for three years now, my second Westfield, it's truly a well built car with an engine and gearbox that are superbly matched to gives a superb drive and exhilarating performance on road and the twice I've had on track days. It's been mainly used for road runs including trips to Scotland and the Lakes, where it's given a great drive and absolute reliability. This car has given me a lot of enjoyment with no hassle and well known by members of the NE Westfield Club. Although, at present the car delivers 223 bhp, with a simple re-map it would offer more. Original figures were 242 bhp, then it was re- mapped and rolling road'd in 2014 . Printouts from 2007 (before the re-map) 2008 and 2013, all available with the car. I also have a large folder of receipts and paperwork for the car as well as all but one of it's MOT certs. The car was SVA'd in 2002 following the previous but one owners build (I am the third owner). Mileage is 42K miles. Mot till May 2018. I have just had the gearbox out in 2016 checked over by a specialist and added Playskool roll cage Below is listed the parts that make this car what it is....

Kingster Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 noooooooooooo! Have to say - it's a cracking car. - and at that price an absolute bargain. Will be sorry to lose you John!
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 I so hope this car stays in the club. I remember it being built, and conversations with it's original owner, Scott Beeland about the engine spec, as we both built/had built similar engines at around the same time.
Kingster Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 ...and you know just how much it costs to build a reliable 220-240bhp engine, add throttle bodies, decent ECU, sump, close ratio gearbox, Simpson exhaust etc. As I said. Bargain.
Paul Hurdsfield - Joint Manchester AO Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 I've known that car from day one, Both Scott Beeland and Wayne Shepherd, have really looked after it with no expense spared, I'm shocked at the price, this has to be the bargain of the century.
jimbobtcc206 Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 I’m on it Scott. Just waiting for a call back from John to chat about it 1
john10speed Posted October 19, 2017 Author Posted October 19, 2017 Due to the level of calls and feedback from WSCC members I have decided to withdraw the car from sale. Thank you and apologies to all those that expressed an interest in purchasing over the last 24hours. Big thanks to Chris and Luke who told me to "go give my head a shake" ! 1
jimbobtcc206 Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 Good to talk to you earlier John. If you change your mind...... James
W Shep Posted November 5, 2017 Posted November 5, 2017 Only just seen this thread John, glad your keeping hold of the Boghouse. I still miss it now..........
jimbobtcc206 Posted November 11, 2017 Posted November 11, 2017 I’m pleased to be able to say that I’m now the proud new owner of this car as of today! 1

Congratulations Jim, as the thread will have shown, this is a really well known and loved car within the club. Possibly uniquely so, there certainly won’t be many others with the history and the distinctive character. I hope you get as much enjoyment as it other custodians have done! (Some how the Boghouse seems more like a cat than a car; you don’t own it, it just chooses to live with you for a while, if it likes the look of you )
jimbobtcc206 Posted November 11, 2017 Posted November 11, 2017 Thanks @Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Secretary Sure we will get much enjoyment from the car! It’s come to a good home!
