Westfield Megabird

[webstance]

Interested to see the pictures of the new Westfield Megabird from the Autosport show. Should be great but if it's true that this replaces the Megablade then I think some potential customers might be put off. I've been thinking of getting a factory built 'Blade ever since having a blast in one at Donington last year. At £14,000 it's a bit of a performance bargain but with the new Megabird costing £17,000 it doesn't seem quite so enticing even if it's quicker. Any thoughts on this?

I was going on a story on the site from yesterday. It said the Megabird would probably replace the Megablade as a factory-built car but that it would still be available in modular kit form. The problem would be that I don't have the facilities (or the time or the patience come to think of it) to built a kit! However, if they carry on building Megablades at the factory then all is well!

Thanks for checking, PetrolTed. It'll be a shame if the Megablade is discontinued as a factory built car as it was particularly good value at £14,000. However, I'll be at the Autosport show on Sunday so I'll have a good chance to check out the Megabird for myself. Plus, the Westfield people are always good to have a chat with. BTW, did the press notes have details of the power output and 0-60 time etc. for the 'Bird? Edited by webstance on Friday 12th January 11:45

To be fair I found them quite agreeable and enthusiastic even when I wasn't a potential buyer. Nevertheless, I guess anyone in the trade gets friendlier if they can smell money!
