Why So Many Irish Race/sprint Cars For Sale

[S2T]

I am busy looking for a sprint/hillclimb and occasional trackday Westfield and have noticed in the various websites for the more specialist cars there is a very high percentage of race/sprint Westfields for sale from Northern Ireland - why would that be?

Recession

On one level, Ireland's suffering, I can't imagine the woes in the south don't have a bad effect on the north.

On another, it's the off season, so now's the time to change move up a class, down a class etc.

Dave one would have thought the moving Class scenario would be similar in England/Scotland though?

[Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman]

True, but then we seemed to have a raft of cars on the market two years ago, and to a lesser degree last year. (Not looked this year)

Pity..... it is a bit more of a commitment trotting off to Ireland to look at a car which may end up being 'less than advertised'

[Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman]

I know, Andy was interested in the Duratec engined car over in NI, just such a commitment to "nip over".

It does seem between that and the rallying etc to be a very active scene over there though, so I wonder if that perhaps magnify's any changes?

I have been wondering whether to look closer at the Cosworth that is currently for sale...550bhp is probably enough grunt to get me around...lol

and round, and round....

Don't forget at the moment they bought in Euro's at approx 1 to 1 the £ is now well in there favour to give them more Euro's and makes their cars look cheap :d

I'm selling mine as the class I'm competing in next year is a bike engine class. Not sure about the others!

[ianstewartshouse]

And mines not less than advertised! It's on piston heads

You're not allowed to enter that in a6...I'll be even further back down the runnings then

I know that a few years ago Irish car sales were full of nicked cars that had been re-registered as Irish and no pre reg trace was possible. I hope this has been made impossible with modern computer systems and stuff, I am talking late 80's-early 90's when most my evenings were spent at car auctions... What a childhood I had!
