Gordonwilly Posted May 8, 2017 Author Share Posted May 8, 2017 So I have to come clean now...I brought home my first Westfield yesterday. It is the Glen from Manchester built one that I bought from JonD that was recently advertised for sale (Westfield 2.0 Duratec SEiW with 2000S chassis (Colour - Black).). It wasn't a V8 I thought I'd buy, and I don't think I could have found a better put together and better looked after car...which came with a load of bits. I was out in it three time yesterday, including in the dark (brought back very distant memories of rallying in deepest Wales in the 70's!!). Whilst have have been a life long (fast) motorcycle fan (best bike I ever owned was a 1990 Kawasaki ZXR750 h2, which reminds me of the Westfield), I think the Westfield is better (but that's just my opinion!!). And I have just thought that as it has a full cage, I can probably get a soft-bag roof box and get to Le Mans at some point with out having to sleep in a hedge!! Thank you to all those that gave such good advice...just now got to find time to get out and about in it!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was packed for a track day at Anglesey with all camping and track day related parafinalia. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rednop1 Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 I thought they all only looked like this at the front and the tubes in red go straight back to the bulkhead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
