Good news

Not really...

Dutch-German track day operator Driving-Fun will move sports car specialist's production out of Britain

Beats China for a change I guess.

 

[cuke2u]

Not if productions moved out of the UK.

Oh yeah, making stuff in the UK isnt exactly profitable, can thank successive governments for that.

At least the brand lives on

If they're assembled in the EU then Brexit won't affect them.

Use to like them as they were the cheaper version of a Caterham, although less so in later years and also produced some right beastly machines like the MegaBusa and XTR models

Was it Westfield that produced a dual bike engine variant with 4wd, was long ago.

The Westfield SEiGHT was the one I always wanted. Rover V8? Yes please.

If I had a spare £10k that would be bought right now. I think the Mrs would divorce me though.

Would be a nice chassis to drop my spare v8 lexus lump in

A friend in the Westfield club had one of those, on the over run the flames spitting out the exhausts were 3ft long it was beastly

This is the 2nd time in 4 years they've gone under. The original firm that operated out Kingswinford went bust, were resurrected, moved to Bicester and the SE.NA released to great acclaim and have now gone under again. I would guess the price put quite a few punters off.

Business moving out of the UK all over. This Labour government is making it hard to operate in this country.
