@Flying Carrot Steve I'm relatively sure Paul is a member of this FB group https://m.facebook.com/groups/553085833452448/

Think i saw this on facebook a couple of weeks ago for sale

Westfield SEIW – 1996 kit, registered 01 May 1997 Complete nut and bolt rebuild 2015 – 2017, back to bear chassis re powder coat etc Folder full of receipts going back to 1996 when car was purchased from Westfield. Very little use since, has only been used for springs and very few road miles. The car is an absolutely stunning build, the quality and attention to detail are second to none in my opinion. Its a proper ground up professionally built car. I have been around westfields on and off for several years and not seen one anywhere near as nicely built. The car was built for sprints and hillclimbs but i have added some parts to make it useable for trackdays such as a larger fuel tank and oil cooler and added a passenger seat, i still have the smaller fuel tank and pipework to not run the oil cooler if someone was wanting to use it for sprints again and be as light as possible. The car has just been for a full health check at northampton motorsport after a small running issue which turned out to be the fuel pump, this included also- map check, compression check, bore scope and all found to be in excellent condition with paperwork saying so.

I've just been told that this is still available. @Paul Robinson are you still on the WSCC forums?

Isn't it! Like it's speeded up or some computer game 😳

Says it all really!😬

Yes, didn't have a garage for 2 years... Still, it's mostly back now. I actually have a bit more time now the kids are a lot more grown up Everyone loves a project and it means I get to learn what does what and how to actually take it to bits myself. Was a car I bought complete 2nd hand.

Oh wow, was it stored outside?

The closing speed to other cars is scary! 🫣

It won't hurt to rev it a little higher in short bursts especially in the lower gear without to much load bearing in mind your in a 7 which weighs nothing compared to escorts try to avoid to much idling as that's where you valve train cam etc are at their most loaded I used to wind the idle up a bit when running in

Ahh I was thinking of 600! Thanks for the advice. I’m doing nothing above 3000rpm which I think is okay. Any advice taken!!

The sad ones It running again! Still needs LOADS of cleaning to be done though.. https://photos.app.goo.gl/Joh4eFfQNxgcWSUZ6

A bit of chaos here as we tried to sort ourselves out after losing Gareth and Linda!

Missed the apex as normal though 🤣

Zk

As per the title I'm looking for a boot box, anything considered Msg or call 07733 016979 Cheers

Zk or kit or fw ?

Nothing dodgy or weird about this… 😳

Goodmorning, I’m searching a nose cone for my seiw zk, if damaged it’s non a problem. Thank you. Ricca

I'll be at Malvern if anyone would like me to bring the Harnesses along to save on P&P.

Life is too short to worry what a certain group of drivers may think. Last year when I visited the National Kit Car show I was impressed by the presence of the WSCC and the community of people. I had visions of car meet ups and a big social scene, however most of the time I get with my car is a run out of the malverns headed west. It puts a smile on my face every time and that is all that matters. So no matter which car you get as long as your smiling and having fun then in the words of Metallica "Nothing Else Matters". Enjoy the journey!

From what I've learned in the past 5 years as WSCC member, for a decent Westfield you're gonna be looking at around 10k. A good one is 13k and upward. For 9k or less you'll be usually getting a more dated car which need some care to be reliable. Other kit car brands may fetch a bit less, but build quality might be an issue. As for the Cat owners "snobbiness", some time ago I did reply to a technical Duratec question on a Cat FB group. Got pinged on Messenger by an italian Cat owner which seemed very happy to show me his fabulous car and asked me which Cat model I did own... After telling him I did have a Westfield, I'm still waiting to hear from him again 🤣

>£10k

As I mentioned to @Jimbo93 Harry .. its been a lot further, hairpin at Monaco for one 😎

That is f'ing mental. Nope never actually done a track day, never really interested me.
