If you've got a budget then I'd stay away from caterham. They're fine cars but the caterham tax is a real thing and other marques offer better value for money. On the other hand, caterhams do hold their value well.

I meant 4 digit xxxx rather than 4xxx.. It could be midish xxxx the other way but it wont be 9xxx and would need to be very tempting to be over 8.. Honestly getting anywhere past 6xxx becomes harder.. But its more about value than absolute hard price, I do love a discount .. The zetec tiger (bike carbs) I am keen on would be close to the mid point and from what I have seen looks nicely sorted. Not sure how I feel about a aeroscreen and no hood option at all.. Dont need a full hood but a half hood would sure help if caught in the wet.

Tiger is more than that I am afraid, it’s a very nicely built one with a Duratec on ITBs and high spec gearbox. Those two items alone are worth more than £4-5k 😁

A great day at Curborough, and many thanks to @Martyn Vann - Warwickshire AO and Sue for a well organised event! 👍 A yellow car day to match the sunshine we had ☀️

As my brother and I said on the way home, after being very impressed by the SV bodied 420R !! I can afford the money, I just cant justify the money.. I only come to uk for 3 months each year so it really is a short summer season plaything, plus like most of us, storage for toys is an issue. The first one where I learn 'whats what' with will be a 4 digit (and midish 4) kind of car, if the bug bites me, and it becomes a passion I suspect it might, then I can justify it to myself easier. PM me any info about the tiger you know of. Happy to travel anywhere in the country for the right car (that we fit into) and deal.

Absolutely beautiful , what an amazing attention to detail westy with all the right bits , stunning .

We’re a very inclusive club. In our area there’s owners of Westfield, Tiger, Caterham (who found that their own clique were far too cliquey!), Dax and Lotus (like me). Our very own Speed Series sprint competition is open to all “sevens” as well. If you have Caterham money available then look at the classifieds and just buy the green ecoboost, or I’d you want to spend less, I know of a nice Tiger for sale if that floats your boat 😁

Welcome @SeftonH you're very welcome here in any 7 type kit, we've got lots of non Westfield members with Tigers, Macs, MK's GBS etc.

Thanks everyone that great info, getting excited now. All passes and info has arrived yesterday, so got go though all of that. My dad dropped car off last weekend so got it ready now and slowly pack up everything. He had bring car over due to Isle of man TT being on and couldn't guarantee him a spot of ferry during race week. 👍

Nice.. Thats the vibe I assumed.. Without throwing stones already (they were great guys) its maybe 'caterham' and 'not caterham' ?

Speaking for our area we have a Tiger and Locost, even a Mk2 Jaguar that come out with us. Also the occasional visit to GBS cars for there tea and cake days.

I am casting around looking for my first 7 style car, rapdily learning things that are important. As it is my first of this kind of car I am looking at the budget end of the range to test the water, and down there I am also seeing interesting (perhaps better value) looking Tigers, MK Indy's etc. Last night I went and visited a caterham club meet, lovely guys, very welcoming, were friendly and let us test car sizing (an s3 is a real squeeze for me, my brother couldnt get into anything less than an SV chassis even that would need to be adjusted to fit a little) but it was very clear they were exclusively caterham club not a generic 'seven style' club. I had, perhaps naively, assumed a 'more the merrier' approach to runs, and club groups. The social aspect of going on group meets and runs is a large part of the appeal. Does this exclusivity equally apply to westfield club meets? Do you have to pick your tribe or forgo the social side if you pick a niche car? Of course no one can speak for every club, but just generally are the westfield clubs more open to more marques ?

Sorry it doesnt it has zk bodywork

Drop me a pm

Price reduced to £8999. Car will be for sale till the end of the month then i will likely take the ad down as driving the car in the nice weather has made me want to keep it. Thanks for looking.

Have a great day @Timo 64 🍺🎂

Wide bodied dashboard, just retrimed with new foam and vinyl - so as new. New ones from Westfield are £350. Will sell for £130 plus postage - or can deliver to Malvern show

Been plenty of times, stayed in Beaujesoir two or three times. It's huge... Disclaimer. Haven't been for quite a while so some of this may have changed. For the drive down and back, try and avoid the peage if you're not in a hurry. The N138 (as was) which I think is now the E402 is a terrrific drive down with plenty of towns and villages to drive through (respectfully) and to stop for coffe, snacks and a slash... There used to be a free shuttle bus to the main entrance from the gate at Beaujesoir but never used it. On arrival the fiirst thing to do is tune in to Radio Le Mans. It's all British and an absolute MUST for entertainment, interviews, information and all sorts, and the race commentary is second to none. Paul Trusswell is amazing and an absolute legend. You'll see why. But all the Radio Le Mans team are fantastic. I have them on here in the UK for the whole week thanks to the Internet, but they broadcast locally in Le Mans on FM to, so take a "normal" radio if you have one. They used to sell small "walkman style" radios in the village. Mine still works and it's about 22 years old... Then, with the tent pitched, head in to Le Mans supermarché to stock up on water, disposable BBQ's, beer and meat! Expect long queues for the showers in the morning. We used to forego that and shower at night, OR use wet wipes for a "squaddie bath". Plenty to see in "the villlage" in the centre of the circuit, and plenty to eat and drink but do also go to Arnage town (or further afield if you fancy a run out) as there are good restraunts, bars, boulangerie and butchers for a morning meat filled baguette and an espresso. Wednesday night and Thursday night is quali so you can rehearse your race day viewing spots. There's not much on during the day so maybe a walk/drive to the Le Mans Museum if it's open. Can't remember if it's Thursday or Friday but there is (or was) "The British Welcome" in Le Mans town and the drivers parade, but the parade is heaving and I never made it there. Friday is "Mad friday". Do the pit lane walkabout (very crowded) and then drive about enjoying the atmosphere. You WILL get stopped and asked to do wheelspins/burnouts. A refusal is often met with a supersoaker... Be careful. If the gendarmes see you wheelspinning etc they can be quick to issue tickets. The public road section of the track is open, but it's two way traffic and there WILL be radar traps on the Mulsanne at various points. That was taken at Indianapolis about 10 seconds after I dumped the clutch. And that's Friday day time... Friday night is fireworks, bbq's and drinking. Plenty of times that has been with whoever was camped nearby and there have been some great nights with French, German, Dutch, Danes and all sorts around the camp fire sharing beers and telling tall tales. From Friday night, sleep can be at a premium. Ear plugs can be a god send. Get a spot for the race start (if you haven't got grandstand tickets) early, a MINIMUM of 2 hours in advance of the start. During the race once the first hour or so is over with you'll be able to drive around reasonably freely to most areas of the track to spectate. Late evening/night viewing for me was at Dunlop and the approach to Terte Rouge. Glowing exhausts visible though thin carbon bodywork and of course brake discs glowing are great to see and can make for brilliant pictures. Terte Rouge can be a bit of a walk, and it's crowded for long periods. But 11pm to 1am was when we found ourselves there and it wasn't too bad. For the rest, well you have 24 hours so you can easily get round just about everywhere and have time to go back if you find a spot you really like. Do go to Arnage/Indianapolis, Porsche Curves, Terte Rouge/Dunlop Chicane, the main straight and Mulsanne Corner. Also if there are seats in grandstands, after the first hour or so it used to be ok to use them. Reserved seats are always taken up at the start and end of the race but for the most part they are not used, so if you can, help yourselvees. If the weather is even half decent you WILL need hats, sunglasses, sunscreen, a brolly for both wet and dry, and ear plugs, not for the race (well, maybe) but for sleep. And if it's hot, then it's HOT so keep up the fluids and keep the brolly up even if you have hats on. If you're staying over until Monday, the two times I did that the camp sites had groups of pikeys wandering around trying to steal anything unattended. If that still happens keep a close look out. Both times for me they would send their kids in to lift stuff that was unattended. Then you'll have the bug and you'll want to go every year. I still want to go every year but haven't made it for a while. But every year I hope...

Hi! I presume at that age it's a KIT body? Which parts of the bodywork are usable, for sale and at which cost, please? Nothing is broken on mine, but I think it may be a very good idea to have a backup at home for an older Westie... Cheers

Yep we should be there

Quick picture while doing a fuel run ready for tomorrows commute

Just on the back tab with a spacer. Was fitted in a rush and planned to add a bracket but all seems well.

@westfield_bumble, do you have your Corsa tank secured using anything more than the single drillable angle on the back?

I’d be intrested in the shocks and springs if there any good.

Evening blast to Monsel head.
