At the grand old age of 49 I knew the time was right to have another Westfield in my life.

Way back when (early 2000's) I had a Lotus Twin Cam powered Westfield, bought from East Sussex but life kind of got in the way of enjoying it and it was eventually sold.  Did not have any pictures of it but bizzarely I discovered it was for sale a couple of weeks ago and only about 15 miles from where I now live in Shropshire.

I did have a brief (and very enjoyable) flirtation with a Grinnall Scorpion but in deciding I wanted a toy it was going to be one with 4 wheels

In my work (automotive industry) I have been fortunate enough to drive a lot of great cars on some great test tracks and circuits (and get paid to do it), most memorable by far was being custodian of Lexus Europes LFA at Ascari for two weeks and also worked with some great drivers, Alex Wurz, ex BTCC drivers, manufacturer test drivers etc so had plenty of opportunity for tuition and the cars I own tend to be bought with a clear goal in mind.

Deciding I wanted a fun car was based on the cars I already own, a daily BMW M135i (great car and very twitchy) and a Mercedes CL500 (fantastic quality and so relaxing to drive) - a Westfield complemented those really well
