Kit Comparisons
 

I guess this is the oldest question in the world, but has anyone ever done a qualitative comparison of the sevens. I'm particularly interested in Caterham vs Westfield.

I have driven Crossflow versions of both and the Caterham was a world away from the Westfield. It was a while ago though.....

Just wondering how people would score the below interms of driveabilty and quality of kit (with a view of buying second hand car around the £4k mark)

An older Westfield
Robin Hood
Tiger (avon or otherwise)
MK indy

also Mac1 and MNR (proberbly out of budget?)

Daniel, dont know if you've bought a car as yet? i owned a R.Hood briefly last year ( brielfy cos the engine blew up ) - i decided to sell it and buy something else. my impression of the R.Hood was that it was a fine car to drive sedately on a sunday and not a lot more - atleast not without spending money - mine had the 'sliding pillar suspension' - which was poor. aside from that a bit heavy. This yr bought a Tiger Supercat - second hand. Love it, finish wise as usual depends who you buy from, IMHO i'd concentrate on getting any car that has the right mechanicals - eng/gbox/suspension, you can always titivate bodywork/interior at a sensible cost. I'm sure that all that you mention will do a similar job - albeit 4k is probably a bit light for all other than R/Hood depending spec. so probably comes down to personal pref on looks as much as anything - oh and size - for example i think Hood bigger than all others width wise so can have bigger seats etc - going down to caterham as narrowest.....chrs mg

How about something a little different for an extra £1k

Go to be as much fun as a 7. Looks like a bargain.
