New member from Norway, searching for info on WM02AKV

Recommended Posts

Hello from Norway,

 

I recently bought this car, and it sure looks good for being an 2002 model. It has 17.000 miles on the clock, and by the looks and condition of it, the car has been well served over the years. 

 

WM02AKV was the plate number in the UK. A folder was supplied, but I want to know more about this car. I have figured out most of the build details, but the car is supposed to have an LSD, and I cannot find any information about this. 

 

I think I have an overview of all the UK owners:

- Mr. T. Burnal

- Mr. P. Coombes

- Mr. J. Binczyk

- Mr. N. Peppard

 

Does anybody know anything about this car or the previous owners? The car came with a WSCC key chain, but I have searched the forums and also Google with no luck.

 

Can’t wait to drive this thing after a service and some fresh tyres! The Westfield Community seems so friendly and knowledgeable.

 

Thanks in advance.

Hello and welcome to the club!

 

The last one you mentioned, Mr Peppard, was a club member (“Pepsi”) until June 2020.  He didn’t post an awful lot but when he sold the car it had just over 16k in miles.

 

Here’s a photo of it:

The others were not club members.  That’s all I can find!

 

BTW… is that a Dodge Charger I can see in the garage?

Hello Scott!

 

Thank you so much for your reply.

 

The car now has 17k Miles, so the mileage is correct. The car is in a very, very nice condition. Needs a little bit of TLC, but nothing major. 

I bought it with the spare wheel holder and spare wheel mounted, and are still contemplating if I should take it off. 

 

I can see that the steering wheel also was replaced along the way, and I am in search of a new one, since I am not a fan of the Yoke at all. 

 

The Dodge Challenger is my partners car. :)

There are weight reduction benefits to taking the lot off.  The important thing is to have a puncture repair kit with you, especially if you’re driving in unpopulated areas and don’t have breakdown service cover.  You may find the rear tub will need a lot of polishing to remove rubber marks.  I used wide headed carriage bolts to fill the bodywork holes left behind.

Ditto.  Lots of us like the Team Momo one because the position of the side spokes gives a bigger window to view the speedo and rev counter.

(Other wheels are available, your tastes may vary, etc.)
