RoadRunner999 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Hi Guys, As I have been searching for a Westy for what seems like an eternity with little success (season now looming) , I thought it high time that I should post in the wanted section for assistance from those ‘in the know’. Any tip-offs in relation to vehicles available will be gratefully received. I am seeking a 1.8 or 2.0 litre Zetec based Westfield SEiW ready to roll in good condition / well built with no issues for road use only. I intend to use the car as much as possible all year round when safe to do so. Purely as a guide, the car will ideally have the following: Throttle bodies and E.C.U. Shallow or dry sump Polished exhaust with cover MT-75 or Type 9 gearbox with quick-shift Limited slip differential Anti-roll bars Independent adjustable suspension all round Wide track wishbones / front suspension Disks all round (with four pots) Removable steering wheel Contoured dash Two speed heater / heated screen (I am not looking for an aero-screen model) Adjustable high back seats with four point harnesses R.A.C. approved roll bar (failing this, mounting points welded to chassis in readiness to fit R.A.C. bar) High visibility brake light mounted Rear mounted spare wheel Vented nose cone and V8 bonnet (engine filters / intakes hidden within bonnet) Locking bonnet (not catches) Carbon effect rear lamp kit inc. fog and reverse lights Full wet-weather gear (hood & doors) ARE ESSENTIAL Rear tonneau cover or lockable boot box (know this is difficult with RAC roll bar) Colour – ideally yellow but will consider blue, black or orange **** I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A LONG LIST OF 'WANTS', THAT I AM UNLIKELY TO FIND A CAR WITH ALL OF THE ABOVE AND COMPROMISES WILL HAVE TO BE MADE **** Budget is £8k ideally but will stretch for the right car. I hope to buy from a private enthusiast (ideally WSCC member) who knows their car inside out and is able to provide full history and an honest account of any issues. I am based in The South-West. Many thanks in advance for your help.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark.anson Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Take a look a "DaveO' s car up for sale now on here. Its on slicks at the moment but i think that Dave has the parts with it to easily convert it for road use included. Its more than your budget as it stands but I have seen this car and it is truly superb. If you had to build a car to this spec would cost you double (at least) for what hes asking.

RoadRunner999 Posted February 19, 2010 Author Share Posted February 19, 2010 Hiya Mark, Thanks so much for the 'heads up'. I had spotted Dave-O's fantastic track car (I am keeping an eye pretty much constantly). Amazing spec. but is WAY.... over my budget. Also, I would not have further funds or time to convert back to road spec. if I were to purchase this (it's a little too far removed from what I am after, not to say it's not an absolutely cracking car). I have already ruled out the likes of VX, Duratec and Sigma based upon budget. Cheers anyway Mark - appreciate that Good luck with the sale Dave-O To illustarate what I am seeking, here's an idea of some of the cars that I have been interested in but pipped to the post on: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadRunner999 Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share Posted February 24, 2010 **** PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM NOT A TRADER **** Please guys, if you are thinking of selling a car resembling spec. outlined in my post - GIVE ME A SHOUT. I am getting frustrated that those few cars available are going to traders who are then over inflating prices to make a fast buck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cerbera1971 Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 ******** Sorted now. Ended up getting myself a nice Zetec powered MNR Vortx. ******** I'm also after a SEIW Westy. Although Roadrunners requirements would be ideal for me, my main wants are fuel injected 1.8/2.0 Zetec/2.0Vauxhall and a windscreen. But most importantly it has to be well built and in good condition (which I'm sure they all are in this forum). Hopefully I'm not stepping on Roadrunners toes by posting in his wanted ad, but I'm at the opposite side of the country (North West) to him.

RoadRunner999 Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 Yep - looks like we are looking for the same car Cerbera. Encouraging to see that others are after similar spec. hence I must be doing something right Good luck with your hunt. Maybe we can go out for a blat when we both have cars. How are you fixed for summer 2020? Please all note that I am aware I will have to travel for the right car and am willing to do so. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
