SamColling Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Hi Everyone, As the title suggests, I am looking for any type of Westie, Narrow or Wide, preferably with Full Weather Gear, as i want to take the hardcore route and have it as my everyday, all weather car. 5-Speed Gearbox would also be preferred, but i wouldnt mind 4 speed if it came down to that. I believe independant rear suspension is probably better in respect to comfortable ride and cornering performance so if its possible, that would be a bonus. I'd really appreciate it if you could help me out, tell me the best places to look, or even better if somebody had one they are thinking about getting rid of. Cheers Sam
nickw2000 Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 It's the best time to buy if your after a cheap one! But be willing to travel mate. If you find the right westy fit the right price remember you can always add the weather gear on later, I've never used my weather gear :-)
nickw2000 Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Try Pistonheads eBay Auto trader- they list kit car manufactures Kit car trader web site. Forums, here & locost builders..... If your after a good kit I would turn away a decent spec mk Indy, tiger, striker
SamColling Posted January 13, 2012 Author Posted January 13, 2012 Cheers, I thought about a Tiger, but both my Uncles who are die hard Caterham lovers warned me to stay away from them. I've found a nice few examples of westies, but like you said its a pain to travel to look it over and then go back and collect it. Cheers for the places to look, i've been glued to them for the past few months just waiting for the right one really. Sam
mikeredcar Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Hi Sam You may be interested in mine, it's a 99 SEi 2.0 pinto on a W plate. Took me a while to find this one but I am now looking for an upgrade to a zetec/red top but pinto has to go first. Probably looking for less than 6k. If you would like some pics and more spec PM me Mike
nickw2000 Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Regarding my above post. Meant to say I wouldn't turn down a decent .........
