Alpha steering wheel, finished in dark blue leather. Good condition. £30 - delivered.

Standard front anti-roll bar with fitting kit £35 - plus delivery

It will be totally different i had the same every time I hit the gas it went sideways so after a check 32psi which I found strang as mk sportscars done mine.

Standard Westfield dashboard, recovered in brand new foam and vinyl - so looks as new. £65 - delivered.

With covers…. I realised after coming back why the car felt a bit strange and bouncy. Pressures were 32psi, inflated by the guy that fitted them as I forgot to tell him any different. Now reduced to 18 so I’ll see how I go with that.

Finished at Harewood Hillclimb today! Spotted this little Westfield sign. Only made bigger by me & the couple who kindly took the picture. Thought I was mad!

If there’s no front window or windscreen, then it’s definitely a must! And it’s not just about stones — my friend once hit a bird while riding a motorbike, and he almost fell!

That looks great @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative 👍 I used to work for Rolls Royce in Derby but would occasionally visit the Hucknall site as part of my work. They seemed to do a lot of the more interesting tests, including the fan blade off test you mentioned, plus bird ingestion and water spray testing etc. I would be interested to go to the museum, and if there is a group of us even better 👍

After the torrential rain on Saturday, Sunday morning turned out to be really nice. No rain, sun shining and the chance of a breakfast, what could go wrong? Nothing. We had 6 Westfields, including Oliver, @OllieP, out for his first run in his newly purchased white FW from Toybox, nice to meet you, a MX5 and a Karman Ghia. Also joining us was returning member Richard, @Rickyboy100 in his V8 a brief flirtation with a BMW. Welcome back Richard. After feeding, we went over to Ackworth for the show on the cricket ground. Fully expecting the grass to be waterlogged, but it was surprisingly dry. Great work by the groundsman.

Think I prefer those wheels without the centre covers actually

I know this has probably been chewed over a number of times im still going to throw it out there.I had just put the megablade clutch back in and decided to take it for a little shake down I only have an aeroscreen so always wear a crash helmet thank God I do minding my own business traveling at about 50 mph a car passed me bang a large stone hit me straight between the 👀 eyes I was surprised at the force of the impact jolting my head back slightly and I thought instantly if I hadn't been wearing a helmet that would have been at least an eye gone at worst a knock out if I had been going considerably faster within national speed limits of course like all Westfield drivers it could have been a different outcome the visor held up really well with just a scuff I think it must have flexed and absorbed some of the impact a peak cap the wrong way round with shades might look cool but it definitely won't stop much get your helmet on be safe and have fun.

This looks a fantastic project for someone, and very cheap too 👍 How's the westie coming up @Yorkshire_Pudding?

Thanks all sorted.

Hi are these still available? Cheers

Quick blat out towards Chard, then a stop at Waitrose. Just testing out the 15” winter wheels/tyres. Will look a bit better when I put the hub covers on 🤪. Still missing one unfortunately.

Doesn't a 'go faster stripe' trump that though? 😃

Well it's blindingly obvious which is the fastest one right? 🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊

It used to be really common on hard lines between components that might have some relative movement. In fact it was taken to quite comedic lengths on 2CVs: I reckon that looping them round that ring was just for style points though.

Looking for my next upgrade, anyone looking to sell theirs, let me know thanks Phil

I'm sure there will be lots more photos in the appropriate forum area from the inaugural XI meet up. To wet your appetite though, here are 4 prime examples.

Extra charge, by reservation only.

Missed many great pictures, loved them all! What amazing cars! But I was involved in a TD that was announced last minute, and with such great weather I had to take the MNR there — to pay back and do justice to all the effort that went into building it.

That is definitely the distance record for attendance at a Warwickshire Area trackday! I'm very happy that it was worth it. See you next year!

A week to go before our meeting. Have 8 so far. Be nice to meet a few newbies. Cheers martin
