**NOW SOLD** Westfield Megabusa - Ex-press Car (2000, W-plate) **£12,950**

[Brack]

Here for sale is my 2000 (W) Westfield Megabusa.

 

I originally looked at moving the car on around this time last year but decided to keep it and fit a full windscreen instead. This was carried out through the guys down at the new Westfield factory (using all new parts at not insignificant expense), but I’ve found that I’m still not using the car as much as I’d like.

 

 

 

 

I’ve just got to the point where I have to admit that the way I use a second car has now changed, and although I've loved it (a Megabusa was always the one for me!) and it's a lovely car, it just doesn't fit my lifestyle at the moment.

 

The car has an interesting story as it was the press demonstrator for the factory during the year 2000, appearing on the “2 Wheels Better” program on Men and Motors, which included an interview with Chris Smith about the bike-engined revolution while he was sitting in the driver’s seat.

 

 

This can still be seen on YouTube at the following link:

Around the same time it also appeared in Car magazine’s Performance Car of the Year test against a Caterham R500 and Lotus 340R. It can also be seen in various Kit Car magazines from back in the day, as well as the "Westfield Story" book, copies of which I have collected over the last few years and will be sold on with the car.

 

 

As you can imagine from its press car status, it was very highly spec’d from the factory, with the specification briefly comprising:

 

• Image 13” 2-piece light alloy wheels.
• Westfield Dry Sump System.
• Westfield Reverse Gearbox.
• Quick Release Steering Wheel.
• Carbon Fibre Nose Cone.
• Carbon Fibre Cycle Wings.
• Carbon Fibre Dashboard.
• Carbon Fibre Centre Console.
• Carbon Fibre Tunnel Top.
• Carbon Effect Stoneguards.
• Willans 4-Point Harnesses.
• Nitron Shockers.
• Front and Rear Anti-roll Bars.

 

After it’s time with Westfield, the car was bought by a collector and stayed with him for 18 years or so, having very little use within that period. It was then put up for auction and bought by Castle Cars in Cornwall who had been tasked by one of their customers to source the very best example of a bike-engined Westfield that they could get their hands on.

 

They then went through the car, recommissioning it, before their customer found that at 6’ 4” and 18-19 stone, they couldn’t fit in it!

 

It was at that point in 2019 that I bought it, travelling down to Cornwall from Merseyside with a trailer to pick it up one Saturday. It’s my 3rd bike-engined Westfield having built a Megablade during 2000 and subsequently keeping it for 11 years, before then building a Megabird after that.

 

When built, the car was fitted with a brand new Hayabusa engine from a donor bike (as was Westfield’s way at the time) and has covered very little mileage since (less than 2,000), which is reflected in its condition, with only minor wear and tear to the bodywork and interior despite being almost 25 years old.

 

The car has recently been serviced, with new oil and filter, spark plugs and a set of coils.

 

Last year the shockers were serviced and dyno-tested by Nitron down at the factory, and the adjusters on the rear shockers were renewed.

 

I have all invoices and details of all the maintenance carried out while in my possession, including the invoices from Westfield for the windscreen upgrade.

 

We've had some adventures, and it will be missed, but time for somebody else to enjoy it now. 

 

£12,950 ono.

 

I’ve added some walk around videos on YouTube, which can be found here:

 

 

 

 

Please call or WhatsApp on 07394 113927, or message through here.

 

I also have some spares such as an RAC Rollbar, new rear stoneguards (still in the package, never fitted), the original carbon fibre Westfield aeroscreen and mirrors, and a replacement sump panel for the dry sump system (picked up as it was the last one "old" Westfield had in stock, and I bought it just in case). These can be had through separate negotiation.

Good luck with the sale, pretty sure I drove that car before buying my Megabusa early 2000, now that was a long time ago

I’ve done some walk around videos and added them to YouTube. The links are now in the main advert.

 

Apologies for the commentary… I hate the sound of my own voice 😬

Freshly MOT’d today, so ready for the summer and good until 05/05/2025. 😎

Reduced to £12,950 ono.

I've now gone out and bought a Porsche Boxster and need the garage space, so come and have a look at one of the best looking (I know we all say that), well sorted (that too), and low mileage Megabusas out there.

 

There may well be a deal to be done. 🙃
