Dracoro Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 Have sold my Honda S2000 but that means, at long last, I can search for the Westfield I want (wide bodied 2.0L), waheey! I have a budget of around £8k. Will spend a little more for a very good one or for some mods. Needs to be usable on the road as that's where it'll spend most of its time although I am intending to do half a dozen track days a year. Problem is, there's hardly any about that I can see but I am happy to wait to find the right one as long as it's in time for the track day season. Places I have looked are :- Autotrader (4 there in the whole country! ) , Exhange and Mart, Pistonheads, Here, findit.co.uk but with little joy. Is there any kit car mags that are good for Westfields? Or other places to look? Is there a particular time of year when I'll have more choice? Any tips?

Nick.Petty Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 Only tip I can give you is can you not look for one at the moment, cos I am looking too and that is also my budget ......... FIGHT! In all seriousness though, you are right there are not many about at the mo. I suspect people will be holding fire until the spring to get slightly higher prices.

adhawkins Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 There are cars about. Look at all the usual places (PistonHeads, FindIt, here and Westfield World, as well as the kit car mags). I bought mine in December 2002, so people do sell over Winter. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stanton Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 There is also Hallmark Cars commercially dealing in used Westfields + other kit cars, Paul matty in Bromsgrove sometimes has one or two in stock + Westfield factory + this boardroom has members cars for sale.

CharliePsycho Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 I hope my wife doesn't see this thread... She wants me to sell mine!! My excuses for net selling it yet are: a) I havn't finished repanelling the interior with carbon fibre (this one didn't work for some reason) b) I Thought I was going to race it this year (they let list 1b tyres in around here ) (that one didn't work either) c) No one buys in the winter.... d) Please??? I've shown willing... I've taxed it... And I'll put it up here for £8.5K soon... really.... None of you b*******s had better buy it though... I don't even want enquiries... no interest at all ok... its's winter, nobody wants to buy...

darthurs Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Just build your own! Where's the fun it buying one already build? With the help and contacts of everyone here you should be able to build one for less then 8K. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
