Welcome Paul, the car looks superb but that Grin is priceless & I think you get them free of charge when you buy your first Westy & have to wear it every time you think, look at or drive it. Happy motoring 🙏

Hiya all, since owning my SEight I’ve pondered what the long term future of the Petrol Engine or more to it “sustainable fuel” will be, but I’ve not worried about it for too long, as I can use it in the now. But having worked/supported 13 yrs at JLR in their EMC (engine manu ctr) now known as their EPMC (electric propulsion manu ctr) in Wolves, seeing the mass reduction in ICE engine output becoming EDU’s for EV’s, you see first hand the government/eco warrior led direction of the biggest UK vehicle manufacturer forced away from ICE over to the EV revolution. However, I read the following article that seems to give me hope, that I can leave my Westy to my grandson (he’s only 2 bless him 🥰) in the future, with the hope he’ll join the WSCC in years to come & drive it & correspond with all your kids & grandkids long after I’m gone to the big Westy garage in the sky. https://www.supercar-driver.com/blog/the-future-is-synthetic-but-dont-panic-just-yet#:~:text=But the plan is to,Brace yourself. Would be interested to hear if anyone has knowledge of developments, timing, UK infrastructure for alternate fuels via their work or motorsport, that gives us a glimpse of the future of E85 or whatever the synthetic fuel becomes know as to buy from my local BP and drive off with a rumble + spit & bang on the A5 in Staffordshire?

Didn't realise pornography was allowed on here 😬

Or is it that we are just not the fool that follows 🤔 @aeg

go on Ian you tell em!!🤣 Wimps definitely southern softies 😜

Flipping softies..

We're still coming but not in the Westy as it's raining here.

Might pop along for breakfast in the morning, but not sure about the run!

It’s looking grimmer by the minute.. will wake up and decide I think…

yeay, excellent news, look forward to seeing you very soon then Dave x Understandable Paul, all the best and see you and Margaret next year xxx

Think we've a complete roof including frame and doors in black in like new condition

We will be giving this one a miss I’m afraid😟 It looks like the weather is coming in from the northwest cos if it does it will be a wet one all the way home☔️ Have a good one, and a great Christmas party 🎉🧑‍🎄🎅 see you all in 2026😀

Sorry, I'll miss this one. However, hopefully it'll be the last one I miss for a while. I'm 95% there now on the repairs etc. The shattered clutch foot rest has now been replaced, strengthened and re-sealed in. The FreeWheel and BeamStop went back on the car today, and after testing, all seem to be working OK. I need to tidy the wiring back up again now, wire in the phone charger/mount, then the scuttle can go back on. So, very, very close now! Have a good one!

Think I've most of the bits just need to check if I've got a fuel rail

Been away for the last week hence the late reply, but thanks very much Ian.👍

Set up for the week, kid free site😁

Welcome paul to the best club on earth

@Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative “ Fortune favours thé brave “ 🤔 more like “Who’s the more foolish thé fool or thé fool that follows” 🤣 see you in the morning 🤪

Bottom line is £1900 in order to avoid lots of interaction by selling parts separately. If it is 'broken' for spares then the value could be quite a bit higher! For example, the pre 2019 mod windscreen pillars are worth £200+ each! Windscreen £150. Two complete sets of allys (ignoring the tyres) would fetch at least £400. NEW front wishbones are like hens teeth... ergo another £500. Then there is the axle, gearbox, engine and twin Webers. I could go on!!

Started off in and out of drizzle, but dry here near Daventry! It would have been good to catch up with you at Wellesbourne. I'm sorry to hear that you aren't well. I hope your health improves soon.

Been with A-Plan who are now Howden for the last 8 yrs or so with no issues. About 3 yrs ago, they also blew my existing house insurance out of the water price wise so house and contents insurance through them too ever since. For the kast two renewals on my Westfield, there has been no noticeable price increase either ....

I was hoping to get the couple of miles to wellesbourne for a cuppa at lunchtime but health isn't too great at the moment. Enjoy the drive & good luck dodging the showers 😬

This event is ON. It’s forecasting for rain to arrive later so we’ll keep an eye on it and sort it accordingly. Fortune favours the brave.

Hi Everyone, Before I splash out on inlet manifold, fuel rail, TBS and ECU is there anyone out there who’s got what I need and is willing to part with it? These would be some of the final components for a SE Wide Body Zetec 1.8 Black Top that’s pretty much in standard form. Tony
