That's not too far from what you were looking for.

I was looking for a Mk 2 Escort even an average 4 door was 10K so I looked what else I could buy and stumbled across a V8 Westfield

so I bought it !

Very nice

Good purchase TRD, didnt see that coming given your previous ownership!
Enjoy!

Thanks mate. You know what, even I didn't expect it, but the more I thought about it, the more it made sense. It was cheaper than the other options and basically has everything I'm looking for in a car. I wasn't arsed about having a convertible again, but I suppose it's still nice to have on a sunny day

Also, I'm not usually one for owning the same car twice unless it has something fundamentally different; for example, I'd have a 350Z Coupe or 370Z even though I've owned a 350Z Roadster because it'd feel totally different. I'd have a Z4 Coupe manual because I had an auto last time.

However, in this case, I guess that while there shouldn't be much difference between that and my previous Boxster, apart from the better stereo, sports exhaust and bigger wheels, but these should make it feel different enough I reckon. I also didn't really have long enough with the car to really appreciate it as I only had it 6 months before it was written off. Hopefully this car will be a bit luckier!

Yeah if the car was written off, then effectively you didnt start and end the ownership experience, you had it taken away from you. So fair play going back and trying again!
