Advice needed

I paid 8k for my 2.0 Zetec Westfield SEIW about 4 months ago. For my budget at the time it was the best I could afford (at the low end for a Westfield). 

 

Cosmetically it's not perfect but then its 23 years old!

Previously it was owned by 2 club members.

 

When I viewed it, John (the owner) presented me with 2 boxes of history, from MOT's and servicing to rolling road plots, original build receipts and even back copies of the WSCC magazine and calendar! 

 

John couldn't have been more helpful and was genuinely upset to part with it, we have even stayed in contact since!

 

I saw a number of others, mainly xflow and the odd low spec 1.8 zetec. Some were cosmetically stunning but we're missing items I wanted like an LSD, good lightweight wheels, good spec coilovers, wide track front end, doors and weather gear etc. 

 

My advice would be to listen to the great people in the club, they are genuinely the nicest and most helpful bunch! 

 

Also, tag along to one of the Peak District runs and take look at a few cars when you can. 

 

For your budget, it will always be a compromise on what you value the most, but I can't recommend ownership enough! Good luck with the search! 

Will do thanks for advice. I’ll check my calendar 👍
