Good evening chaps,

I am currently in abit of a pickle and wanted people's advice.

I have had for about a year now a MK seven which has a lot of time money spent on it.

I would really like to start entering into the westfield sprint series or similar but wanted abit of advice.


What would a nicely spec'd MK seven be worth?

If I threw another batch of money at it am I going to see any real increase In this figure?

Or am I better to sell up and put the money onto a westfield or caterham?


The car is fantastic and engine is pure brilliance with so much future potential, I just want to have a long term view on things.


Current spec is as follows;

1 set of 13x7 team dynamics pro race et35 for road wrapped in toyo 888s.
1 set of 13x7 team dynamics pro race et20 for track wrapped in Dunlop slicks.
Both set of wheels purchased brand new.

There is also other oddments and parts, spare scuttle, nose cone, aero screen, naca ducts, old dashes, fog lights and lamps etc.















Way I see it is if it was a westfield it would be worth £12-15,000

But there are no other Mk's you see for sale with duratecs so I don't know what it's value would be!

Any help is much appreciated.

dan,get your national b license sorted join an associated club and enter a sprint. you dont need to enter wscc series.there are many others with competative classes.we do www.speedchampionship.co.uk with liverpool mc. blyton is on our calender in july so it should give you time to sort out all your lisence and safety gear. dont sell the mk until you are 100% sure you want an all out sprint car as the difference between road/track and sprint is massive. please pm me if you want any more info as it would be good to get a few more lcb members sprinting other than the usual handful. me,unijacko 67 and gord r will be doing plenty in the northern/midlands are this year

I agree with Dan car looks good just get out and sprint hill climb it
Good luck Ali

Thanks for the kind words Dan/Ali, I think this actually me just trying to justify getting a Westfield!

The right was has turned up and deposit paid!

So the car and bits will be going up for sale shortly!


I'll get on the case of a license and get entered onto some sprint tho chaps

Dan

which westy did you get? they are very nice cars. some of the sprint cars are very well sorted.and very quick!

Dont take this the wrong way westfields are well built but if you just want something to hang carbon bits on fine if you want to win the mk had the edge and would have been a competative car with more power

I've purchased Mark Leborne's race prepared Seiw, it has had a lot of success and a really impressive spec list.

I've done blyton in the Mk so will book In the westy and see how they compare.
