I paid and sold mine for £11k. I found it advertised in Autosport magazine. There are a few available from time to time, the one to get is the Radical Prosport, it has the Hayabusa motor with a drysump and flatside race carbs on it but is a bit more pricey at 14-18k
My blue one above was a bit of an in between clubsport/prosport, it had the clubsport 1100 kawasaki engine but prosport wheels/tyres/aero pack and suspension.
These are proper sorted race cars that could 'almost' be SVA'd for road use
The only issue I had was that the headlights were too low, I would have had to bolt on westfield syle lights to pass.
Being mid engined, they climb all over westies round the corners, mega traction

Megabusa
That is the colour car which we will order apart from we are going to have these items as extra`s.(not sure what spec you have)
Stack combined tachometer upgrade
Quick release steering wheel
Trimmed race seat upgrade
Rac specification roll bar upgrade
Carbon rear wing protectors
Removable rear arches ?
Not sure about changing the wheels
Dry sump / LSD / Nylon bushes are standard now.
Still not ordered it yet because we have not been out in one yet and you dont eat the biscuit without bitting it 1st
Is there anything on the car which you would change if ordering it from new.

Good choice then RB.
I recommend the Stack, I got the SPA to spare a few pennies (not a problem for you eh mate
but it went **** up at Croft the other week, needs reprogramming apparently.
I got QR steering, modified by my good self for strength.
Not sure what my seats are.
Roll cage is a special manufactured by some bloke who works for Ultima, it looks nice, slightly slanted forwards.
Don't buy the rear wing protectors from the factory, mail me for details of where to get them very cheap, I'm nipping over for some as soon as I get chance myself.
The wheels are Image, 2 piece jobbies, got them cheap second hand.
You might have guessed by now I am a tight git.
I'm gonna get some anti roll bars as soon as the supplier as signed them off, they are in development right now.
I had lots of things in my mind which I owuld have changed with hindsight, all of which I have now forgotten, but I will let you know if I remeber, (they cant have been that important!)
Just like to use it and abuse it now!!!
BTW I have loads of build photos if you're interested in anything specific.

It started only reading revs up to about 8,000, and the speedo was reading very very low, with a small mph reading at standstill. The guy at SPA told me to check the earth is good, and not shared with any other device, and then ring him, whilst in the car, to go through the engineers settings, he reckons its in fault mode.
Have you had problems with yours?

Yeh
Have you recently charged it (put a battery charger on it?)
If so you may need to reset the readings,
I had to access the engineers menu to reset the rev needle, and i has to reset the speedo by entering thr roling diamiter of wheels.
I have not come across the same thing as you, but i know mine are sensative to chargin (i have to remove earch each time now)
Is it a new or old unit? (makes a difference to the engineers codes)

Not many westfields there it looked like quite a few had gone
