V8 Seven-esque Car Wanted

[Linkin]

Having trawled the classifieds for a V8 'weekend' car, and not finding anything which really piqued the interest (at my budget!), I visited the Kit Car Show at Stoneleigh on Sunday.

The Dax Rush V8 and Westfield SEiGHT's seem like my cup of tea, so does anyone know where I might be able to pick up such a car?
I'm already stalking the Pistonheads Classifieds, Dax and Westfield club sites....

OR
Have I missed something similar which I should be looking at?

Thanks in advance.

Very few people install a v8 in a seven type car so thats probably your biggest problem.
Its not much help but there are some nice cars our there with bike and 4 cylinder engines, what is your budget?

Cut the (hideous!) split screen off and put traditional alloy frame screen on - think this was buy it now around 5k

There are some V8 Quantum Xtremes about - just a case of waiting for 1 for sale?

Also if you keep a look out there are the odd v8 fisher fury and ssc stylus out there, a mate of mine has had one of each in the past, thunderous.

i think one of the guys on the skcc site is likely to be selling an MK with TVR power......might be worth asking on there? no idea what your budget is?

Budget is around £10,000 - £12,000 ish for the 'right' car.

Your budget should be ample, I'd post on a Westfield forum and ask if anyone wants to sell. Straight in with a kidney punch!! Your money is probably safe in a V8 Westy, but I would urge you to try one before buying if you have not yet done so, back to back with a powerful 4 cylinder one. It's all about the balance in such a light car, and torque delivery. Having only ever driven one which was fun definitely, it had too many handling vices por moi, a v8 is probably much better for me in a 1 tonne TVR. But who doesn't love a fire-breathing V8 kitcar eh?

bet thats 'fun' to drive! how much dose it weigh?

With that budget I'd buy a £6k westie, throw a grand at the brakes, a few hundred quid at the tyres and the rest installing an AJP8/T5 combo from a Cerbera and add an LSD. Monster car that sounds special.
