Bit O/T, but until I sell my Westie I can't get a VX220 Turbo, so thought I might as well stick it up for sale on here just in case anyone was looking or fancied a P/X with their Tubby, with some cash their way.

I have decided it's time for a change, so after owning my Westfield for almost 10 years, I have decided to put it up for sale, I would ideally like to keep it, but can't afford two cars!

The car is a December 1998 factory built Speedsport, which at the time was their highest spec model. I am the third owner, and since I have owned it the car has been extensively upgraded from standard.

The car has been used 99% of the time as a pure road car, I did one trackday in it not long after I purchased it, and have since done a couple of Car Limits activity days at North Weald.

Quite a large part of the mileage has been done abroad, for the past 9 years I have taken it on European driving holidays, covering between 1500-3000 miles in 7-10 days, so this car has seen most of Europe, and has even been to Sicily and back! It has done a couple of very careful laps of the Nürburgring, so can wear its 'ring sticker with pride.

For full details I have put together a webpage, have a look here:

10 years is a long time to own a car! It will certainly hold a lot of happy memories! Good look with the sale/p/x

Thanks, it's going to be hard to sell, but this has been the first year I've had it that I've had times when I've thought I would like to be in something else, and I have now decided that that something else will be a Tubby, all being well. Assuming I like the Turbo when I get one, I can quite imagine that it will be another 10 years before I fancy a change again!

looks great why are you wanting a vx over this? usability?

[.Adam.]

Partly, yes. This has been the first year that I have had thoughts about wanting something else, don't think the weather has helped, but whilst on holiday this year it would have been nice to have had a longer fuel range, better cruising on the motorway, and a roof! These things haven't really bothered me before, but just had thoughts that a change would be nice. Figured that a VXT would be a nice change, whilst still being reasonably hardcore, and hopefully not too expensive to run.

sounds about right, im also a seven owner and purchased a n/a to go alongside my car to be used as a normal car so we can go out at the weekend even if it might rain etc....

i would love to go touring with mine but i fear its too highly strung to cover big miles and having no screen and a 20l tank its not the best

If I could afford 2 cars, then no way I would be selling the Westie, after 9 European driving holidays in it, including driving to Sicily, I've got a lot of good memories tied up with it, so it will be really hard to see it go

Nice car you've got there, I've always wanted and have come close to owning one, mostly the magabusa's i was looking at though, If i was to get one now i'd go for a car engined one though, after having a bit more experience with bike powered stuff! Seeing those photos really makes me want to get back to the mountains, even more so now i have a vx

[Rickwoo118]

A nice looking westie you have there. Good luck with the sale and I hope you find a good VX to replace it.

Just sold it, so I can start looking for a VXT properly now!
