Is it the same as these? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/126974962070?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D295742%26meid%3D0bd0ab46fd4041ff872a1ed9c8c08cd1%26pid%3D101875%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D374758730469%26itm%3D126974962070%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D2332490%26algv%3DSimVIDwebV3WithCPCExpansionEmbeddingSearchQuerySemanticBroadMatchSingularityRecallReplaceKnnV4WithVectorDbNsOptHotPlRecallCIICentroidCoviewCPCAuto%26brand%3DAUXITO&_trksid=p2332490.c101875.m1851&itmprp=cksum%3A1269749620700bd0ab46fd4041ff872a1ed9c8c08cd1|enc%3AAQAKAAABgG96wQ16jds4VFcrhy1F3d4mbwZUJI9Fs%2BgdXYAHIzlX2e3YaNh7x%2BEnKA3G%2BCqSl1Xn4McfcWFK1GytmS2qxJ87mtE8Gm3iR1Ja4WBwh0hNHJrJx3Ki5mp04ow4CO7lP%2BooCybZDDU%2BbbSwmg7CbTin%2BBzBzbCYVnbjvyQAHu6--HI4MB7SvJl5IJqlyvomgoLMlgT6qAJzX0SANJhty2dk2Ri%2FFgi0OFU%2BkeCLOUbpv5qPjgEY1BoYx%2FauuobETySBmcSweTaQY5T%2FgR9d8p8RGYEPWit4W1G6MByOlj4dcE8vBjNn6QSXVZz5oyUDusHdKsaYH6lib%2BS%2FyiZe04Ftfo6Qa64vo3YHq%2BQq1dYrUI1f5kMbHV7q59br9H4Z9CyUhykf5SivOZ%2FkQ4CMVelIgFiuwol8WW5FfLKhG7Zt85U3VjfwAuXfNA%2BjKG1XVtftoXiM6Dbc6fA6AqB7lwfVpOjtvwJ%2Fpch51IN7d5qYwbWmrtkCXBYoA2bWxZMguw%3D%3D|ampid%3APL_CLK|clp%3A2332490&itmmeta=01KAV96R8KMYQ2CP6KZY1TPK3X

I was lucky I ripped it fully out but did such little damage you can't see it

Well done.

That depends who does the test Martyn! 🤣

Monthly meeting, reverting back to last Wednesday evening from 19.30 to approx 22.00 Venue is The Halfway Pub, Cullompton, normal informal chats, both Westfield and non-Westfield related!

Please note that several posts have been hidden as they were about the qualities of SEights in general and not this car for sale, and were therefore off topic and against club policy in adverts in order to help sellers and buyers alike - thank you.

Totally agree. Also the worst is salt-water mist going on every smallest gap, micro cracks and porosity in paint , in welds and Inside chassis (not galvanized) profiles. I use tectyl outside and Inside profiles but i'm aware that IT is nothing against salt. Water ok, but salt is evil !

I have on a prop

Deffo put any seven type car away over winter,your chassis will thank you for it!🤣🫣 I really struggle to see why people use them over winter,you can't use their performance, your chassis and any bare steel parts go really rusty, the roads are way more dangerous in general, takes ages to wash them properly and try and protect them for going on a drive which is cold,wet and not enjoyable 🤷‍♀️

I think they originally stamped it near the gearbox mount so nobody (mot inspectors) could find it 🧐

That's a beautiful car!

An SEiGHT in BRG. That’s the top of the Westfield tree. I’ve got, possibly, the earliest surviving one, and you’ve got, possibly, the last. We have the bookends. GLWS - a bargain at that price.

Thanks bud

Hi, no I'll need to do some digging to find that, will let you know when I do.

Thanks, I'm getting motivated for the rebuild after a trip down memory lane emptying mum's house.

Thanks, I will definitely document the rebuild, not sure how quickly I will get it rebuilt though. First need to find space for my track car so I can get the Westy in the garage at home.

Thanks for tagging. The B6 seats have M8 thread inserts in the base and bolt from underneath. Most cars have the drivers side on runners and passenger seat fixed. Without runners spacers are needed or the bowl of the seat will touch the floor first. We can supply these. Its easy to fix in later cars with the solid floor. Cars with the alloy floor and steel cross members are a little trickier as the spacing is not quite right for most seats. Even the factory tended to tack weld an M8 bolt to the rear end of the runner so that it would span the spacing. Please message me if any further questions. Regards David B6-Dimensions.pdf

Thanks Steve, I've read your rebuild thread already, it was good reading.

Thanks it's good to be back, been emptying my mum's house, my bedroom was a bit of a time warp, still had many issues of Westfield World in the cupboard!

Yeah, I lived in Oxfordshire back in the 90's but relocated to USA for 10 years and moved the Westy to my mum's near Malvern, the car had already been stood for a couple of years but on the way to my mum's the front right brake caliper seized so needed the AA to finish the journey. I was trying to fix the brakes during holidays back from America but that didn't work and it's been sat ever since.

Don't forget that fitting LED bulbs in a Halogen lamp is an MOT failure, whereas fitting a LED lamp unit is ok.

Bit of an idea of the difference. I'd still not expect miracles at night though tbh 😂

These are the ones I fitted into my Dominators. Bear in mind they are really meant for motorbikes those Dominators so will never match a good car headlamp unit. They do get you seen much better than the standard bulbs though and I've had no issues with them overheating or anything like that.

Yeah he messaged me to say they had gone a few weeks back

I've fitted B6 seats to mine, bought through this forum from David. The Tillet runners work just fine, although you'll certainly need to drill new holes. And you need the seat option with the rolled edge cut off for them to fit. Other than that, only thing to watch for when fitting is clearance for the shoulder of the seat when pushed back. It's a bit of a tight fit, but not too much so.
