That looks totally unhinged.... I love it!

Hi all, new member and owner here! After much deliberating and procrastination, I have finally decided to stop all that nonsense and take the plunge into Westfield ownership... with both feet, at the deep end. Someone had to...! I'm now the proud owner of a very pretty Seight in Westfield Racing Green, which comes with some interesting legacy and may well be known to a few members. The 4.6 rover V8 EFI topped with supercharger runs hot and raucous, despite methanol cooling on boost. Delightfully terrifying. The build is superb and the previous owner had it meticulously prepared after 10 years of ownership and personalisation. A couple of small gremlins sorted already and she's back on the road. I will have one or two small things to change in the near term and I may have to swap out the original sports seats for something more accommodating of my 6'4" frame, but for now it's time to enjoy. More to come.

As the title These are the older style that westfield stop making They have been fitted but the car has never used £80 plus post

Thanks, sound advice. I understand that the rule of thumb is to reject the first offer. Indeed the member of staff i spoke to on Tuesday, went over rejecting it too, so they must be expecting it.

Responded to your PM with some info on that front.

My personal experience with writing off a tin top or two is that the offer might be low. Don't be afraid to reject the offer if it doesn't match your expectations. Reject it politely and firmly, explaining in detail (include evidence of the sale price of other Westfields of similar age and equipment levels) why you think the valuation is too low in your opinion, and tell them to go back and reconsider, then contact you back.

Fingers crossed they give you a good offer and don't mess you around mate.

Still waiting for an offer, hopefully in the next few days.

Have they made you a sensible offer or are you still talking to them? D

Thanks guy the other questions would be where are they stamped with there number I found a few plates with numbers but I think it jb w7 28 but there is a proper westfield plate

Received confirmation from the insurance company that my car is a write off.

Fantastic picture

Ive got a pair of standard ones (3 holes) if interested...

I bought my Impreza whilst still in Japan if that counts!!!!! 50% payment upfront and the balance before the boat sailed - payment into a Latvian Bank Account too..... Sound unbelievably stupid / naive, but I did my research and it all checked out, so took the gamble and never regretted it. Older now and PROBABLY wouldn't do it again...! Mart.

Classic and Sports car 1985 Similar to yours but with a Coventry Climax. D

it’s a very very early, Westfield Seven, and one of the earliest they produced, likely around 1985. Most of the early cars adopted Ford components but the earliest instead used BMC running gear. The bubble rear arches I’ve only ever seen on one other Westfield before as all the later cars had the square arches fitted. quite a find

I haven't had a chance to properly re-list this but it's still for sale. Been out a few times but sadly spending too long sat in the garage. I really need the garage space now to store building materials for a house renovation. The trailer mentioned above has now gone. It's booked in for MOT so will have a full year on it when sold.

A nice photo from the London to Brighton run. The photographer was lying down on the grass verge by the side of the road all day!

Good work @Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO

That can only be one of 132 made Westfield Seven, the first model produced by Westfield. Not sure any document exists for such car...

Well done Ian..great result

Sorry for the long reply the document show isn't for my car I'm still trying to identify which model it is any help would be lovely

No worries Richard, I'm glad you got sorted. I've been out tonight after fitting my replacement master cylinder, had a nice long drive around the local area. It's much better than the previous M/C but I think I've still got some air bubbles in the back brakes (Sierra items so quite common!)

I sold my first Westy to a guy who phoned me, paid, sent a transporter to collect.. then phoned me to say thank you and that it was even better than he expected!

I'll have some blue ones for sale once i get round to replacing them. They are from 1999
