Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 Is it staying in the area? I've never had a chance to see it after Julian's fantastic rebuild. Would love to see it in the flesh again. Quote

In all honestly I’m local to Crewe so if I could come and see it if you do buy it that’d be much appreciated. I can then see what I can get for that sort of money! 1 Quote
maurici Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 Will ask to the prospective owner... whitch im sure will become a member... Lets see how things go on saturday. Quote
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 That’s a great idea, when it comes to looking at these sort of cars second hand, you just can’t beat looking at lots of them, even those not for sale, to really get your eye in, and get a feel for what you would like, and what you’re not so bothered about. 2 Quote

Will you be in yours Thursday Dave or do you know if anyone will be attending in any? Quote
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 Unless the weather is dreadful, yes I will be. Not sure who else will though. Quote

Sounds like it’s already gone unfortunately, what would you expect that to be? Around £12k in the height of summer? Quote
A1243R Posted March 7, 2018 Author Posted March 7, 2018 Bit of an update. I am still hoping to get to the meet tomorrow but it looks as though a friend and I are going to go 50/50 on a car... we only want this as a weekend/evening toy so if we can both put in £6/7k each we can get a better and cleaner car... This is really taking our fancy at the moment... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MNR-Vortx-RT-plus-R1-bike-engine-Kit-car-Track-Trackday-Race-Fast-road/132527742003?hash=item1edb44dc33:g:IKQAAOSwnDBancuq 1 Quote
CosKev Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 Does look a nice car that,and well specced The MNR chassis is a work of art,all tubular and looks very strong. @sdh2903 had a MNR,and in his opinion the fibreglass panels finish etc is better from MNR than Westfield 1 Quote
Steve (sdh2903) Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 Yep it was a better quality Grp in my opinion. The chassis was very well designed with some nice race proven suspension including inboard rear shocks (don't know if this has filtered down to the road cars yet). Unfortunately I had some issues that were kind of out of MNR's control which meant I never finished the build. However I've actually been looking at them again but the only thing putting me off is I'm a bit softer these days and liked the Westfield screen and sidescreens. 1 Quote
