WindyWesty Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 Hi I have been looking for a nice 200bhp Westy for several weeks and keen to find the right car. Been sent a few nice examples but still looking. Loads of cars come up for sale but this is my second (and hopefully last) Westy so have a very specific car in mind. Duratecs likely to be outside my budget so XE or Zetec. Please send me details of your car if you are thinking of selling. Cheers, Paul
WindyWesty Posted July 21, 2009 Author Posted July 21, 2009 Yes I have seen it and it looks superb. I am not great mechanically so take advice from a good friend that has been into sprint and hillclimbs for 20ish years and he was not over-keen on the Cosworth as an engine option... mentioned something about age but don't ask me for anything more specific tho!
stu999 Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 Stop being friends with him immediately. Indeed. Cosworth motor is the same age as an XE, and possibly Zetecs too. Thats that excuse out of the way...

Martin Keene Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 I don't know what your budget is, but you will not go wrong with this: 200bhp Zetec The only reason it's for sale, is I can't afford it.
RedditchJay Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 nice Westy... I want his engine or £3k / £4k to throw at mine to hit that BHP figure
WindyWesty Posted July 21, 2009 Author Posted July 21, 2009 Rob had contacted me and his car looked a superb spec but outside my budget - I am looking up to £9k. I will ask my 'ex-mate' why he was against the Cosworth. Any other suggestions?
Martin Keene Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 Ah, it was you... He did say he had a potential buyer. Shame it is a first rate car.
