I will come and say hi if the weather holds off

Wonderful, and welcome; we don’t see many track focused prelims, like Rob said - will be great to see photos and hear more!

The market is not good atm, prices are all over the place and there have been a lot of Westies for sale in recent months. Have you tried eBay and Pistonheads? I bought mine from Pistonheads and only discovered it was for sale on the WSCC after I'd bought it and joined this club so there may not be that many people on here looking to buy, most already have a Westfield. I'd definitely try other sales outlets like eBay, Pistonheads, Facebook etc.

just been told they have them in stock and should arrive by end of the week ordering now 😶‍🌫️

I'd also suggest new photos including interior after a good polish with the CXRs fitted. If it were me, I'd emphasise it as a track day proven road car, because my impression of most track cars is that they can look rough which might put some buyers off. Maybe list the spec in sections and include gearbox and ECU? I'd also probably get the front wings clear lacquered and spend a weekend with some satin black paint on the front suspension, maybe also get a power check done on a dyno for reassurance. It could be that a carefully spent £500-£1000 would regain itself and get the sale. That should help it stand out in a busy market, hopefully

Good choice order direct from carcoon mine took 4 weeks to arrive remember 3L

Thank you for all your comments, I've done abit more research after your comments and I think I'm going to run with CARCOON Will order it today and see when it arrives. Thank you all for your comments :)

My 1st kit, a Tiger, was 105.8 tested at Castle Combe, needless to say, it never got out on track other than charity parade laps 😂

@Nige_T, spec and price are right on. Sticking my neck out i would say it's your photo's not selling the car. Put the CXR wheels on, and take some all round photos would help show off the car, also put it on the FB for sale page, you will get more coverage. IMO the CXR's bring out a raw track ready look on a Westy, but I am biased 😁

Similar to the figures I worked on it's a no brainer carcoon works out much cheaper over storage.

Brilliant! Post up some photos and specs when you can, a track focused pre-lit sounds very interesting!

Car Bubble and Airchamber I believe are two other brands.

Don't forget guys, there are other brands available and iirc from research I did years ago, some were actually better than the Carcoon brand. Of course things may have changed but dig around in Google and see what's out there

Yep I can believe that.

Another outdoor Carcoon user here.... Have 3 of them in use at the moment!! They last about 6 years used full time. I work on the principal that it's £100 per year. Putting the car in dry indoor storage would cost me at least £150 a month. If I know a carcoon is getting towards "end-of-life" I'll keep an eye on FB Marketplace and the like. I've picked up unopened (box still in shrink wrap) 2nd hand ones in the past which gives a useful saving. 2nd hand prices will be firming up now as we head into autumn. Carcoon themselves used to be great to deal with, the last couple of years, they've become an unresponsive PITA. DT don't generally keep stock and order from Carcoon when they make a sale, you can end up with quite a wait for delivery.

Welcome. Nice looking car. 👍

Welcome that's a great looking car is that the one off ebay if so good spec.

Now sold

Unless you are bringing a Jet car you will be fine at 105db lol.

I haven't watched soaps for almost 20 years. Too many better options these days.

I didn't know myself at the time, im impulsive lol

Size 3 L for Westfield especialy current carcoon - changed design with larger-highier located zip for less spine bend "floor " section . But needs more room for car to roll in. Carcoon is fine re keeping car dry and rust free ! Great ! but - after few years and 3 Carcoons using - zipper is really poor. Teeths fall out so zipping and unzipping is not ...comfortable :) Outer layer (outdoor versions ) degrade after few years and tear apart. I am now testing chinesse version for part of price (1(3 approx with shopping of carcoon , not metion adding customs from UK.. and possibile to order size to one cm, customable window, colour, eyelets to support etc. Must say its much louder than carcoon small fans (easy to fix - removing one of 2 large fans in CH version and using lover voltage .) also not included bartery charger . And other design - not 2 layers outside (seems to work anyway with air flow Inside looking at brake discs, and other material - heavy and thick. But - only few months is my experience . No winter yet. Winter with snow and when minus 20-30 deg will tell if it is any good . Why Carcoon use over the years that really poor annoing zipper ! ?

You didn't mention you were in the market for a Westy when you did my exhaust cat recently, Danny! That Megablade looks a nice piece 👌

A westie doesn't fit in the size 2 believe it or not mines size 3 L

I’ve been a Westfield fan for very many years having gone to the factory very many years ago with my brother in law to collect his pre litigation 7 kit. I’ve watched the car being built and over the years morphing into a track orientated vehicle. Over a few beers on the weekend the potential sale of the weapon was muted so I thought why not buy it and then decide what to do with it. Offer accepted and it looks like I’ll soon be a Westfield owner hoping that many on here will be able to assist in my plans for it.
