It's summer. treat yourself. Looks in very good condition for the price. I'd go for it if i were you.

My only reservation is that I've seen people say that the Pinto is a bit too heavy for a Westfield. I've never driven a Pinto one, so I can't say either way.

Apart from that...

Don't be put off by the Pinto, if the engine has been well built and is in good condition then it's highly acceptable in a Westfield or similar car.

The overall build quality looks good from what I can see in the pics. I would say that the asking price is OK as long as everything is in really good condition.

So how about it as a daily runner?

I ran one for 2 years, with a 35 mile round trip. Go on, it will teach you lots!

[Killer2005]

Well my daily drive is about 15 miles to work and back so I wouldn't put that many miles on it.

I need to have a think about it

What's there to think about FFS? Go and see it, make sure you can get in it (it's an Se, so quite petite), and if you like it, make him an offer. You are hardly going to loose money on it if you decide to sell it again.

I'm with Singlecoil on this one. Even if you find out it is impracticle to use it as a daily you can always keep it as a fair weather toy, I'm fairly sure you will find it so intoxicating you won't be able to sell it (untill you come round to upgrading it)

160bhp....... id want to see receipts/RR print off.

Pinto is a heavy engine but dont let that put you off, they are bullet proof.

If you view it, take someone who knows there way around a car like this!
