Westfield Megabusa - 2010


PGB

Recommended Posts

Westfield Megabusa.  Registered May 2010 on a 10-plate. Has done less than 1,000 miles since delivery, but this should increase a bit if sun shines next week  :)

This car was kicked off as a project to help my son graduate from the University of Life.  Following several karting years we needed something to keep us busy and stumbled upon an un-started Starter Kit that was followed by a huge amount of materials from Westfield and other well known suppliers over a few years.

I have to confess that eventually work related activity became too much for us to complete the build, compounded by an overly onerous IVA test and Registration process, so the car was completed at the Westfield factory.   Mr. MW was reasonably complimentary about the car.  You can order a new Megabusa from Westfield with list price well over 20K and I think you may get carpets included, but unless (with hindsight) you really, really want the thrill and challenge (read frustration and expense) of building your own Westfield, my advice is just go out and buy one and enjoy it.  Unfortunately, with work continuing to get in the way, and a 2 wheeled toy to play with, this Westfield is just not going to get the use and attention it deserves in the foreseeable future.

So it’s ready to go to a good home.  Or any other kind of home actually.

On offer at £14,999 ONO – and I do mean any sensible 5 figure O.N.O. will be considered.   Please contact me with any questions.  Several build sequence photos available too.

Car is located in Central Scotland.  Delivery can be arranged for agreed fuel cost.

I’ll lift some photos later, but for now my original story was posted here

thats a helluva buy for someone. Even coming into the off season for Westfields, its surely going to sell quickly at that money

Looks like a real bargain for someone - I'm sure it'll go easily at that price. Hope it stays north of the border, we don't have that many up here!

Cheers,

Matt

ps - PGB - you wouldn't happen to have a spare nosecone would you?

I've swapped a few PMs and have a serious (?) prospective buyer coming on Friday.

ps - no spare nose cone, just a 2 piece prop shaft for no reverse box
