impossible questions?

Hi all.

I've been offered the chance to buy a fairly special Westfield, still got my bike-powered one at the moment, but that needs to get sold. As such, I am just going through the process of weighing up costs vs performance vs use etc against possible alternatives, and am trying to get a handle on if a Stylus project were the alternative, how that would compare on cost.
As such, and I know this is difficult to answer with Tim's absence, I was wondering if anyone had any idea how much it would likely cost me to relieve him of the IRS RT chassis he has? Plus how much would a bodyshell cost? With the RT add-ons? I'm assuming that these are the important bits, and most other bits can be procured via alternative channels.

Any clues?

from the price list i have (about 4 years old now) the IRS chassis was £2450 inc VAT and the body was £2000, but i know they have gone up since then, the body price that is!

Best thing is to approach Tim and ask his terms for the chassis/body roller without engine :roll: He'll be using that for his own racer. The home number and mobile is still the same and he'll answer if he chooses to :wink: A text re- your prospective buy might catch his attention because it ''will'' get sold eventually .

Thanks for the info, guys.
I did actually mean the complete new chassis which Tim has (?), rather than the rolling chassis from the orange demo car, though I suppose that could be an option (is it IRS?).

No Tims RT isn'y IRS but why would you want it :?: there's no track advantage and it's more money plus you've got another whole heap of adjustments to think about for set up :wink: Getting the front right is hard enough :roll:
