Motowest has been one of the founding partners in Birkin Australia, and is the West Australian distributor. Due to circumstances, Meridian Motorsport have decided to down scale its operations and Motowest have taken up the rights of Birkin Sportscars Australia. After a whirlwind trip to South Africa, papers signed and orders established....we now have a further 6 cars on the water and due at the end of November. We are presently trying to secure more stock as the factory is closing for a production line overhaul, and will not be fully operational til March 2012.
Customers interested in placing an order may wish to secure their car, as we anticipate a shortage in 2012. Further enquieries can be made with our local agents.
