I do however have a number of questions / considerations as follows: Storage - What are the physical dimensions of a Westfield Internal Capacity - I am 6Ft 1" and 16 Stone..will I fit Expectation - What will I have to pay for a smart, wide bodied, quick motor Any help would be greatly appreciated.

steppenwolf Posted March 3, 2003 Share Posted March 3, 2003 Welcome Burno. You are gonna need a Wide body version ( don't take that personally!! ) Wheelbase 2346mm Track (front) 1311mm Track (rear) 1330mm Length (overall) 3540mm Wisth (overall) 1560mm Height (overall) 1100mm You will fit reasonably comfortably in a wide body car. Starting prices from about £5,000 for a 1600 Mark, tell him what he needs to do .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adhawkins Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 Just to add to this, there's a thread in the Newbies area here with a similar discussion to this. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisbin Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 Mark, tell him what he needs to do .... Welcome - smart choice! Mark, where are you???

Bananaman Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 Hi Bruno Smart choice, i've had more fun with my westie than i you could ever imagine, sooooooooo much fun. Storage - What are the physical dimensions of a Westfield Normal single garage no problem. Internal Capacity - I am 6Ft 1" and 16 Stone..will I fit Well I'm 6'1" & 15 Stone (14-10 acctually) & fit no problem in a SEiW (don't know what the SE stands for (there all called this) i=Indipendent rear suspention, W=Wide bodied) I doubt wether you would fit in a standard/narrow(same thing) boddied car. Expectation - What will I have to pay for a smart, wide bodied, quick motor If you want an SEiW (reccomended) then you are really looking at £7K min with decent 16Valve zetec or VX engined cars going for £8K+++++. As you can see YELLOW is quite a popular colour. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 Well...Thanks for the responses. Thanks especially to steppenwolf for his kind words on my physique !! Mark - I guess you're the main man in the Black Country - yes ? How much is it to join ? If you check your records, I did join a few years ago, but home improvements got in the way, if you know what I mean. I am now ready to buy, but really do need the assistance. Is there anybody out there with knowledge of any good cars for sale ie: quick, clean, reliable. I would say £7K tops. I am not particularly mechanically minded hence do not want to buy a bag of nails. Once I have one, I assure you that I will repay in vast quantiees of the amber liquid...not when driving of course !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilwillis Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 One suggestion.... Why not go to Pensnett, and have a test drive at the factory. I'm sure the small detail that you're not buying a new one will never arise during your visit Be warned though, you may want to keep the one they send you out in I'm in the Midlands (Coseley to be exact) too, so if ever you want to pop over and have a look at my part-built one, be my guest Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
