S2T Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 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?

Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S2T Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 Dave one would have thought the moving Class scenario would be similar in England/Scotland though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S2T Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 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' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 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?

S2T Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Algar - Competition Secretary Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianstewartshouse Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I'm selling mine as the class I'm competing in next year is a bike engine class. Not sure about the others! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

User0083 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 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!
