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

The modern pod ones only have 2 bolts

I have a nose with 3 holes ,which I would like to match .

My Westfield is 25 years old and completely rust free. I've seen much younger ones with terrible rust. So I hope those pics include lots of chassis and suspension ones.

I did once buy a Porsche unseen but I had driven a different example and knew it was comfortable for me and I got an expert's report on the specific car. I'd be doubtful about doing it on a Westfield though. They're too variable. David

I have a terrible confession to make. I'm probably going to buy a car unseen 🫣 I know it's a terrible idea, but there are so few cars around my area. I show my cars, and have been on the lookout to speak to some 7 owners and have a go at having a sit in some cars. However, there's been a bit of a drought of them lately. I'm 6'1" but I'm comfortable in quite a tight driving position. I seem to fit in things that my similarly sized friends don't. For example I don't adjust the seat from my wife's driving position when driving her car. She's about 5'8". Has anyone else bought a car based on pictures alone? The seller of the car I'm looking at has provided me with a fantastic selection of really detailed photos.
