alexander72 Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 Kurt, did this old girl sell last month? James
RWDKurt Posted August 6, 2013 Author Posted August 6, 2013 Hi James, no she's still available. A couple of enquiries recently but nothing concrete as yet. Is your Westy road legal?
M444TTB Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 I saw this car while browsing Autotrader (never expect much on there!). What a machine. Shame it's not road legal as plenty of people would be silly enough to use it on the road
D7PNY Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 Yeah, very limited market not being road legal unfortunately. If it was road legal I'd be sticking my hands down the back of the sofa and it would be sitting on my driveway by now! Dave
User0083 Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 If was road legal I'd done the same as above! My enjoyment as shifted and having one in the garage to use in quiet bimbles is what I enjoy and use it for now. Had enough of being driven into! Was daily drive and track day toy... Flymo would be entertaining around town!
alexander72 Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 I have a plan that when I start my new job in January to purchase the Flymo, paint it orange like an actual flymo and get it road legal AND get it on the track and do the speed series - but as I drive like my Nan I dont know if i'm just living a pipe dream of having a 5.0L V8 westy...... but as I have a weird life anyway I dont think it's actually that weird........
RWDKurt Posted August 8, 2013 Author Posted August 8, 2013 It wouldn't be impossible to make it road legal, especially for 'creative' types...
D7PNY Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 Not sure how much it would cost to get road legal. I would imagine the biggest cost would be the IVA itself and perhaps the emissions would be a pest? Have you considered sorting that out to get the car sold? I would imagine whatever you spent getting it road legal would be recouped in an increased sale price once road registered. Cheers, Dave
RWDKurt Posted August 10, 2013 Author Posted August 10, 2013 Dave - point taken, but I think it's a close call between what it would cost and what it would add to the value to go down the road legal route. And I'm not as handy with a spanner as some on here... A great project for the next owner should they wish to?
alexander72 Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Kurt, you read my mind......I've got an empty workshop thanks to the robbery last week and I have loads of stihl orange paint......
RWDKurt Posted September 14, 2013 Author Posted September 14, 2013 SOLD. To a nice chap called John who will be racing it in the NW Sports and Saloons championship, based at Oulton Park.
