Nice run out today with @Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AOShame forecast wasn’t reality but still enjoyed the last run out of the year before the gritters get out!

Harry’s garage has some very good information. close your ears when he mentions the price per litre! Hopefully that comes down as use goes up Andy

The answer is in my emissions flow chart in the FAQ general info. This also based on chart 2 of the gaseous emissions section of the manual. If you look at either of these flow charts you will see a pre 1st Aug 1995 date that leads to a non cat test. This is what DVSA have used at IVA to assign the emissions standard to the engine fitted to a 'new' kit car. I believe that Westfield Sportscars were supplied with new V8 engines manufactured before the 1995 date to fit to the factory built Seights for many years into this century. This has been investigated by Phil @RickRack for his car.

Perhaps, or just get your car back on the road!!! 👍👍🤣🤣 Next year I want to see it finally 😊

I think I need to retire!

You see this is what I don't understand .. this is the rules as far as I can work out If the engine is older than the vehicle Vehicle first used before Sept 1, 2002: The car is tested to the emissions standards that apply to the age of the engine. You must have proof of the engine's age to present to the testing station. Example: A 1995 car fitted with a 1991 engine will be tested to 1991 emissions standards. If the engine is newer than the vehicle Vehicle first used on or after Sept 1, 2002: The car will be tested to the emissions standards of the vehicle's age, not the engine's. So how do they get away with no cat test? If it's a 2009 car you need a cat test ? I'm obviously missing something :shout: Martyn Vann can you shed any light on it ?

It's really clever how he's stacked one on top of the other with no apparent damage

Are you getting both cars on the trailer done.

I thought so but thought I'd ask and show my interest if it ever comes up for sale

Sorry unless the cage drastically dosent fit Iam keeping that 🤞🏼

A bit of a last minute one this, but I had a free morning and suggested a run down across Dartmoor, but had to be back in Crewkerne by around 12.30pm. The weather looked a little dodgy too, so in the end we opted for a meet in Cullompton Services with four cars making the trip, myself, Adrian, Colin and Gareth & Linda - that is, once I drove from the wrong service station to the correct one . Deciding to stay further East to stay in the better weather, we drove over the Blackdown Hills in the general direction of Chard, then wound our way down to Charmouth. Soon after Charmouth we lost Adrian to a worsening Throttle Position Sensor problem, and he had to limp home with a popping and banging car which has now fortunately been fixed. After Charmouth, we headed roughly along the coast via West Bay to the viewing point overlooking Chesil Beach and Portland, somewhere I often find myself in the Westie! Back to West Bay for a coffee, then I headed home in time to collect my ladies from the train station, and the others ended up in Dawlish for lunch. A great morning's run with some surprisingly nice Autumn weather, although looking at the last picture one might consider it more of a splat than a blat

If you're selling the carbon boot lid then I'd be interested in that as I've already got the roll bar but no boot cover

Pre registered with an age related plate as a 2009 car with one refurbished part - the engine - otherwise all new.

I'm intrigued. Do you have an age related plate indicating the year 2009, or is it related to the age of the engine?

Something non car related…. Just 3D printed a skull bowl for Halloween sweets, and a scary spider to keep the small person entertained during half term 🕷️🎃💀😊

I went to view a 450 Chimaera on Wednesday at Lowe Classics near Abergavenny. They have some very nice cars for sale, nearly all on sale or return. They don't seem to mind people popping in for a nose but if you want a drive you need to book. They also I think sometimes do a kinda cars and coffee type thing on weekends now and then. Next door is a large workshop who do all their maintenance on the cars, they are young guys who really seem to know their stuff as they have worked on so many classics and exotica. They have also had quite a few kits through here over the years. If you're local and are looking for someone to work on your Westfield or classic, they'd be well worth talking to. Here are some of the cars they had for sale, some very valuable stuff there! Classic cars for sale in Abergavenny | Lowe Classics https://share.google/eKRXGq6Gur8dCgRdc

Yes 80k is commonplace price wise. They are the last of the truly bonkers TVRs though, of the "Peter Wheeler" era before the Russian took over, and the next bloke who's built only one prototype. RIP TVR.

A nice Sagaris. They fetch silly money these days. Interesting plate too.

that's nice spotted this one at a car show a few weeks ago check out the clear spoiler

Westy being kept company at the moment by a lovely Sagaris that's in for an engine capacity increase from 4 litre to 4.5 litre (already has in-house ported head and uprated cams and carbon airbox) . Two Great British sports cars, love them both.

Brand new boot box, bought many years ago for my (now sold) Seiw. External maximum dimensions 1010 x 390 x 200mm. Let me know if you need more measurements or pics. Has a few very minor marks from storage, but they should quite easily polish out if necessary. Given these are still available from Westfield at £730 (!!!), I think £100 is a fair price. Google : ZK Boot Box for Wide Body Cars (GRP) | Westfield Cars I can post (UK only) using parcelforce for £15, it would be very well packed, but always some risk. I am in Dumfries and Galloway if anyone wanted to collect. Bank transfer preferred payment option. Thanks, Dave.

Getting ready for a trip up to Siltech for some suspension works 😎

Morning, Iam about to pull the trigger on a full cage so this will become available. It’s still on the car at present. Iam in no rush as the cage will be a 4-6 weeks lead time. If someone was desperate I could remove it before hand… located in Kent (CT14) collection only or may be able to meet somewhere? I purchased new from Westfield when I built the kit in 2021. Good condition, few stone chips as expected. Nothing drilled into it etc. just cable ties and brackets used to fasten camera/hi level light etc too the bar. The stickers will remove easily if required. save yourself the lead time and grab a nice winter upgrade £250ono
