Kit car info required

[benp]

I graduate from uni this year and intend on spending some money on a westfield, caterham or similar. Don`t wanna spend too much (£5000) but cant find any of the buggers. Does anyone know of a decent websites etc where i can get more information.

www.findit.co.uk usually has a few, and stuff will keep coming up on Autotrader so keep checking back. You may have to travel a bit to get one but you can get a decent x-flow Westie for 5k

Could be worth your while going to the major shows (eg. Stoneleigh & Newark) as there are always cars for sale and you can check out the owners' clubs while you're there.

Have a look in the kit car mags .... loads at that kinda money, not many Caterhams though!

You will find an old kit car in great condition or a newish one in poor condition for £5k, I bought my 1989 Westfield SE with a 1600 X-Flow for £4495 and was in immaculate condition.

Just have a look about and see what you can find, most of all, make sure the chassis is in good condition, all the other bits are easy to change. And don't always buy the first one you see.

Good luck
