westyblade Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 Diff ain't exactly quiet either. Do I look bovered? Class
Martin Keene Posted August 26, 2006 Posted August 26, 2006 I cannot belive this isn't sold... If it wasn't for the fact I haven't got anywhere to put it, I'd be buying for the trailer and flogging the car again...
Buzz Billsberry Posted August 26, 2006 Posted August 26, 2006 I think I'm seriously crippled price-wise by the fact that even though it's road registered, it's really only a track car. Also, as I say, cosmetically it ain't the prettiest any more (I've seen far worse mind you). It'd be great for trackdays/sprinting. For the road it's just simply too far gone. The last time it was T&T'd, the single only journey it made on the road was to the garage to get an MOT... Sure if I kept it nearer by I might be tempted for the odd run out, but where it is now, that simply isn't practical Because of this, last time I advertised it I got no interest at all. Though I may have been a little optimistic on price and a little off-putting in the advert (as I didn't *really* want to sell it). This time there is a car I want so I am actually very serious about selling. I can't afford to sell it for any less than it's up for as it's replacement is going to cost me significantly more. If it doesn't go, it doesn't go. I'll leave the advert up and continue to track it regardless. The car I have the option on isn't going anywhere soon so either way, I've got no pressure to sell it. There is the right buyer out there... It'll be someone who wants a very sorted track car on a budget who isn't afraid of a spanner, wants to tow it to events and isn't as concerned about it being pristine. Juan its nice and very refreshing that the description & comments you've put on a bout your car is very honest, top man. I just wish there were more sellers out there doing the same thing & not waste peoples time, money and effort. I'm currently looking for a track day car and have had my time wasted but a number of sellers whom shall I say are a bit 'over zealous' about their car's decription/condition they are selling/advertising If I was looking for a westy as a trackday car then I would be kicking your doors in ! Good luck with the sale Buzz P.S excellent price

adhawkins Posted August 26, 2006 Posted August 26, 2006 If it wasn't for the awful colour I might be interested too. Andy
juansolo Posted August 27, 2006 Author Posted August 27, 2006 Thanks for the comments guys. The reason for the absolute honesty is the 'experience' I had selling the last one... This one in comparison has been relatively stress free with only a few phone calls from the right sort of buyers. The good news is that since putting it on Racecars Direct I've been getting some healthy interest and have someone coming to see it today and had someone else wanting to arrange to come see it to. Both racers so they're not coming with any pre-conceptions of what a track car is, so *fingers crossed* one of them might take it away. As you all know anyhow, Poiple is worth at least 10bhp on it's own.
juansolo Posted August 27, 2006 Author Posted August 27, 2006 SOLD and more than a bit too. I'll miss it.
adhawkins Posted August 27, 2006 Posted August 27, 2006 and I know the feeling. Saying goodbye to my yellow car was harder than I thought, but it was at least helped by the fact that the Throbber was sat on a trailer over the road as the yellow one was driven away Andy
