RedditchJay Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 Nice..................................................... but not a Westy
Hammy Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 Nice I particulary like the of these, better than the Westfield look ( old or new!).. bargin too!
Cleggy the Spyder Man Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 I made one 20 odd years ago - they are a back to basics proper racer
RWDKurt Posted April 27, 2011 Author Posted April 27, 2011 Thanks guys. Very popular also with the Autotest fraternity due to their compact dimensions.
RWDKurt Posted May 19, 2011 Author Posted May 19, 2011 Still for sale. A couple of dreamers and (low) trade enquiries so far. I'm surprised by the lack of interest (via Pistonheads) - any thoughts from you guys about either the ad or the car?
Cleggy the Spyder Man Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 lotta fun for the money - perhaps some piccies with rook off may help and some piccies of the interior they do look better minus hood just out of interest - that is not the standard bonnet and nosecone I recognise from my days - is it one you have modified to sqeeze in the VX or is it a standard factory option
perksy Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 I'm surprised by the lack of interest (via Pistonheads) - any thoughts from you guys about either the ad or the car? Might be a good idea to take some photo's of the car without the hood and sidescreens fitted Think the Striker handles really well and is an underated car tbh There's just alot of cars for sale at the moment...
uk89camaro Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 Still for sale. A couple of dreamers and (low) trade enquiries so far. I'm surprised by the lack of interest (via Pistonheads) - any thoughts from you guys about either the ad or the car? there aren't any shots with the hood off, and no interior shots.
RWDKurt Posted May 20, 2011 Author Posted May 20, 2011 Thanks for the feedback guys - we'll take some better pics with the hood / doors off, plus an interior shot. Cleggy - yes it's a modified nose and bonnet to accommodate the taller Vauxhall engine without a big bonnet bulge. It looks better from some angles than other
