moomin Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 it's an ok price given the condition it looks in. however, if you are after a track car, it will need a dry sump (cost £1k) and you will probably want to lose that great big air brake called a windscreen if you want a road car, then haggle the a little and you have a nice car I reckon... but then I am a little biased (see link in signature). if you've not tried a bike-engined car, try to do so, it's not everyones cup of tea. moomin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffC Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 is there any disadvantages in having a bike engine westfield ? do the bike engined westys hold there value ? Ive had both 16v vaux and bike engined , my zx12 powered is a bit harsh and harder work to drive but the rewards are there once you get the hang of it , you need to get used to slipping the clutch and keeping the revs at the top end of the rev counter to get the most out of the engine! if at all possible get a good ride out in one before you buy..as its been said they are not everyones thing.. on the plus side is the engine note, performance, fuel economy and cheap road tax! down side could be long term reliability? the engines have to work a lot harder... i dont know of any high mileage bike/cars , but to be fair on my travels have seen plenty of ex-police honda blackbirds with 60,000 miles plus and still going very strong! values ....i think depends on the car and finish. feel pretty sure once the sun pops out the prices are only going one way! may have a 52 reg blade engined westy comin up for sale..details will be on my website if u interested...link on my signiture.
