The recent purchase, 1992 Westfield 1.6 cvh xr3 narrow body in Post office red. Had a MINI cooper s now got a regular car and this.
Got a few mods planned - cycle wing conversion and a new set of 13" minators + yoko r21's need these on as soon as George Polley gets them to me, the rides a tad harsh on 16's. Got a new bonnet ordered of westfield as the present ones a bit tatty. The carbs need a good tune so off to Bogg Bros when they can fit me in. Fabulous thing to drive and certainly gets noticed.

Very nice and good choice of colour wiz 1.cool

Once you get the 13" wheels on you'll really notice the difference.

Looking at 5k for the car and wheel/tyre package but running repairs and modifying start adding to the costs, mind most parts are ford so fairly cheap.Insurance is very good and you only need tax for six months.
Like the mastercard add - driving priceless!

Was running 16's which gave the car a pretty hard ride, changed to 13's and the ride has vastly improved, the yoko's grip pretty well too.
Saved 6kg per corner plus another 20kg losing the spare and jack.




just need the summer to sort itself out now!
