MrG Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I'm already arranging to look at a couple of SEight's as a result of commenting in a previous thread started by StanS, but wanted to check if there are any others out there before I buy my first Westfield... I'm looking for an SEight, mainly for road use and perhaps a very occasional track day. The following would be on my wish-list, but realise I may not find the perfect spec, so may compromise if condition & price is right: • windscreen/wipers, not aero • comfortable sports seats, rather than pure racing seats • LSD • side screens (weather gear useful, but not essential) • quick release steering wheel (but not essential) • roll bar rather than full cage preferred • boot space I'd probably prefer an age-related reg, but Q-plate might be okay, if good spec and value. I don't need an engine with lots of mods, and don't mind whether it's 3.9 or 4.6. This is mainly for road use and the great sound of the V8 is more important to me than the best lap times possible. Looking for an SEight to drive and enjoy right away, so no unfinished projects or cars needing lots of work please. I'm ready to buy the right car immediately, and I don't need to sell another car first. Let me know what you have, and what price you're looking for.
