I bought this car at the end of October 2009 and intended to keep it for several years for touring Europe and stuff like that but I’m not getting much time to use it due to work pressures.

The last MOT was carried out in late April 2010 and it passed with no problem and not even any advisories - I had to put a new front number plate on as the small plate supplied with the car when I bought it wouldn’t pass but it will be given to new owner for ‘show purposes’  

Nick Algar roadtested this car for me as it was hundreds of miles away from home and loved it so I bought it and it truly is a lovely tight car with no rattles etc.

It's a shame I am not after one Pete as it was a great car when i drove it and knowing you it will only be better

Nearest thing to a Westie, but practical to use.

Wanna swap for a quick little Westfield with all the right bits fitted + loads of spares and possibly deal on a trailer

Anyway, what you doing flogging your Westfield

Too much effort/hardwork to get the thing in and out of garage now......... want something more useable day to day .... VX220, Boxster, Elsie, Exige maybe even an MX ??    something more comfortable suitable for euro tours     want some stock for PK              

[peterg]

Mark, have you tried getting in/out of a VX/Elise          

[Mark Stanton]

      yep and easier than a Westfield so na na na na na  

[peterg]

D'oh, just remembered, all the engine mounts, header tank and radiator (all potential problem areas) have been renewed in the last three years too

[Major Stare]

SWMBO has seen this and wants me to sell the Westy

What a nice car...

For the registration in Europe, we need an European CoC (Certificate of Conformity). The Vauxhall 220 is similar to the Opel Speedster, this one is popular in the second hand market and has a CoC. Is there a CoC for the Vauxhall too ? in this case you could try to publish the ad in Holland, France, Belgium, ...

[peterg]

Thanks Chris but I already have quite a lot of interest in the car and with the current exchange rates I don't think it'll be as desirable as cars like Elises/Exiges were last year...

[Terry Everall]

I am getting used to roof down drives with the Porsche Boxster S

Awesome drive

[Mark Stanton]
