I love that shade of orange 🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕

Welcome! Get some photos up when you can, we love photos! You'll love the Westfield on track, nothing I like more than exploring the cars limits on a circuit 👍

That is definitely an A-series powered original XI shown in the photos (according to the DVLA)...

A little bit of miscommunication meant that we didn't meet up with Tim for the drive up to GBS, but we met there instead. Both Tim Lawton and Andrew Clarke had to leave early due to other commitments, so that left us and my friend Mark to head to the cafe for lunch. After an excellent lunch, Mark made his own way home in his BMW, whilst we headed out to the 'Wings of Freedom', Lancaster memorial just off the A46. We took some pics from the viewing point in the nearby road. It looked fantastic in the sunshine!

Thanks Steve - The chap who built it certainly knew his stuff 😉, doesn't get better thanks this one. Cant wait to see your next build!

New never fitted. £7.50 inc postage.

Yes, pretty much identical block to my ST170 👍 I have the thermostat housing for sale too if you decide to go for it 😉

Hi, I’ll take this

As title, bought from Retroford at the start of the year but not needed. These retail at £125.00 plus postage. £50.00 inc postage.

What can you tell us about the new Westfield XV? dave

A few pics from today

Ok, thanks for the education, much appreciated. I don't have a water rail on my blacktop then, but then I don't think it's fittable to mine as I have a turbo in the way? I don't have the plastic thermostat housing either, I've got an aluminium upgraded part.

Would this fit a zetec black top?

Thrills, heritage, and innovation meet on track. We @Hedley Bennett (HB46443) - Club Chairman , @Rob Hunter - Club Secretary & the brand-new Westfield Se.NA R-T at Bicester Heritage for its first public test session, An exclusive opportunity to experience the next chapter of Westfield performance. Back-to-back drives with the legendary SeiW Zetec reminded us just how far we’ve come, while a sneak peek at the upcoming Westfield XV showcased where we’re headed. From the XI that started it all in 1982 to the cutting-edge Se.NA, the spirit of Westfield engineering lives on, faster, sharper, and more refined than ever. I didn't take to many images myself, the occasion was like being in a sweet shop! Big thanks to @Westfield Chesil Limited. Look out for the Magazine articles from the press.

Croeso as they say around here. also in cardiff (llandaff ) so get in touch

Beat me to it! 😂

The water rail modification on the zetec, essentially removes the long "hockey stick" 90 degree hose from the thermostat housing on back of the engine (in rear wheel drive applications) to the radiator in the nose. The Zetec plastic thermostat housing is a bit fragile (becomes brittle with repeated heat cycles) and replacements are hard to find so its a common modification. Here's a water rail from Burtons

It neatens up the top hose plumbing bringing it to the front of the engine, and replaces the original plastic thermostat housing which can become brittle with age and crack. Looks pretty, too!

I've seen the term 'water rail' quite a lot on here recently, I've no idea what that is though or what it does, why it's better etc. Anyone like to explain in simple terms please?

Hi - drop me a pm if you get chance. I’m based in Cardiff so probably not a million miles from you!!

I'm looking for a 2l pinto engine if anyone has one lying around, preferably in the west midlands area. Ideally looking for a standard engine as I have carbs etc. Thanks

Westfield alu front hubs These have been mounted onto the uprights but the car has never been used £200 for the pair plus shipping

Recently removed from my car’s Raceline water rail. These are £100.00 plus delivered from Burton Power. £40.00 inc post.

Removed the expansion bottle from my Raceline water rail setup and replaced it with a proper header tank system.

As Phil said, photos compulsory. Welcome to the club.
