BONER Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 Yes, that's fine Timo... You could also CC them to: matt@rawmedia.co.uk But don't bust a gut! Thanks 4 the effort and I'll be doing some sums/mugging a Granny this weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tr mike Posted May 29, 2002 Share Posted May 29, 2002 Of interest how much are you paying for an Seight? I'd love to know. This is a V8 Rover (my favourite engine). Is it fitted into a standard chassis or is the chassis special. If the chassis is standard I can supply and build/blueprint 5.0 Rovers or turbo 5.0 engines (custom crank etc) or supply Chevrolet LS1 aluminium 5.7 litre engines (similar size actually smaller then a Rover v8). The chevy is the ultimate in high technology for a push rod engine. It has more power and torque then the quad cam unit preceding it. I also have a 5.4 rover for evaluation. I have built a blueprinted turbo Zetec 1800cc engine for a Westfield application (under evaluation). If you want information check out my site www.boostperformance.co.uk or www.chevroletls1.com. I get a lot of satisfaction if it goes and goes some more! Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattBone Posted June 3, 2002 Author Share Posted June 3, 2002 Had a look @ your site Mike... I'm affraid that it's all over the top of my head! I'm just after a car that makes a nice noise, goes like sh*t off a shovel and doesn't cost an arm and a leg! How's that for a technical spec?

chrisbin Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 Have you tried the blue one thats been in "kitcar" mag for a few months now? It looks excellent - its a 2000 W reg - but then he's asking strong money (£17k) so it should be. Mind you, if it is still available it might be worth an offer. Good Luck!

MattBone Posted June 5, 2002 Author Share Posted June 5, 2002 Yes I have seen it... Unfortunately I have only got about £10K... Have seen a few 3.9's going for this sort of money (M/N) reg. but none right at the moment! If anyone hears of anything drop me a line - Thanks!

AndyC_772 Posted June 6, 2002 Share Posted June 6, 2002 The latest issue of Westfield World dropped through my letterbox this morning It contains NOT ONE SEiGHT for sale Are they so great that nobody ever sells them, even to buy a new one? Or are they so shockingly awful that nobody ever buys them in the first place? Shame, I do really want one before the weather turns permanently nasty again... might have to settle for a lesser model and upgrade over the winter instead Andy.

Adrian Percival Posted June 6, 2002 Share Posted June 6, 2002 Perhaps the people with SEiGHT's love them just as much as the BEC people. It's just that some like to throb and some like to scream but we all like to go really, really fast. 8-) Adrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianm Posted June 6, 2002 Share Posted June 6, 2002 When I was last at Westfield, Early2001 I think, their sales guy told me they had only built one factory V8 in the previous 12 months. He put it down to bike engined sales Brian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian crocker Posted June 6, 2002 Share Posted June 6, 2002 When I was last at Westfield, Early2001 I think, their sales guy told me they had only built one factory V8 in the previous 12 months. He put it down to bike engined sales Brian. That is true. However the factory have noticed an upsurge of interest in the SEiGHT. That is why they have a new demonstrator and there have been a few articles about the car recently in the kit car mags. I know around 30 people with SEiGHTs and only a handful have sold their cars - most have owned them for quite a few years. Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEiGHT Posted June 6, 2002 Share Posted June 6, 2002 That is true. However the factory have noticed an upsurge of interest in the SEiGHT. That is why they have a new demonstrator and there have been a few articles about the car recently in the kit car mags. That's true, and I told Holly the reason for that is so many people see me blasting down the M40 every morning that they all want one We are currently "negotiating" my commission And don't forget the factory are going to need a *new* new demonstrator now that they have sold their current new one to Eddie ! I doubt I'd ever sell my current SEiGHT, even if (when) I built my new one (currently speccing up the cost). The only way it would go is if the tax-man came a knocking Then again, if you want to offer me 20k for it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Young Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 My local lotus dealer in Edinburgh has an SEight for sale. Not sure on price but its registered on an R plate and has 15" alloys, contoured dash, small headlamps, hood. It is Westfield yellow. I would imagine that it will going for quite a bit bearing in mind that the garage is a pukka lotus dealership but I could be wrong !! All the Best. Martin.

AndyC_772 Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 That'll be Murray Motor Co, then. I just called them - they're asking £13,950 for it, which is way more than I'd ever sneak past the missus. Given how crap the weather has been lately, I don't think it'd be money well spent. Andy. (now on the point of giving up and getting a Zetec or Vauxhall engine instead...)

Martin Young Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 Thats the one. Yes, £14K does sound rather a lot evern for a nice example. I own a zetec engined car and I'm very pleased with it. All the Best in your search and I'm sure you'll enjoy it whatever engine you end up with. All the Best. Martin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyC_772 Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 I got some photos through of that car - it looks immaculate, but I really can't afford it... so... ...I've bought a VX engined car instead I pick it up in 2 weeks, and I can hardly wait. Martin, thanks for your help and support, much appreciated. Matt, you no longer have competition, at least from me. Haggle hard and good luck! Andy.
