Have to Have the roof on to be in circulation mode 🤣

Could that be an Aircon button

Heater controls look like they're from Car Builder Solutions, nothing wrong with that, but the rest of the interior looks high market. Leather on the tunnel, carbon dash. Has the body been altered in any way? It would have been a perfect time for updates along with the new engine. Interested to see prices.

A few of the MK guys have them, but to me it's just something else to go wrong and it's actually quite a good arm rest.

I wonder where the what the price range is going to be. I got to say I do like it bar the heater controllers

A number of us are booked on at Donington doing the full circuit on an evening session. if anyone fancies it, it’s through Opentrack.

We had 16 cars down for coming today, but due to various circumstances we managed 10. It didn't rain, although it was cloudy. Lots of kits there, Tigers, MEV and a lot of Caterhams too. https://youtu.be/FldAPC9ngo8?si=IMaHzjJCqvnQQQJC

Hi John, I’m new to this site. I have just bought a SEIW FW with a 2.0lt Zetec black top engine. I live in north wales and I was wondering how do I find out about events, shows, days out etc on this site. Or do you have a contact number for someone who runs a club near me. I’m in Pwllheli. Thanks in advance, Darryl

It's electronic according to the datasheet

Another thrilling update for all those interested in ‘What have we done’ We will be collecting the car one day the week after next and Andrew at Toybox has come up trumps and found us a roof 😎 This afternoon has been spent fitting the lift. All the heavy stuff is done, electrics and hydraulics tomorrow, hopefully ending with the Spitfire up on top bunk before we go away Monday morning🤞 The good news is, it actually fits!

I see they’ve gone with the stubby type gear lever a-la Caterham. Unless it was just a bit cold in Bicester…. 🤣

MK also started fitting it on newer cars, seen a video on their Youtube about that.

I was actually looking at the kits for that the other day; they're not that expensive or hard to fit. I find that the gear lever really gets in the way. I'm not surprised that other manufacturers put them under the dash. Mind you, I've an awful lot of jobs to get through before I could justifiably spend time faffing about with that.

One of the buttons looks like electronic stability control.

Electric handbrake, wow.

Open to offers

That new engine has quite the oil pressure at idle… Air conditioning - really?

The grey one And the green one And of course @DIY-Si

Have they moved the handbrake somewhere different?

Would have benefited from a LOT more orange never mind a stripe IMHO 🤣

The engine looks like madza /ford 2.0 Lf engine to me also used in some volvo's which is basically a duratec engine but i have been known to be wrong . Good move i think by the factory to get away from those ecoboost /turbo engines get back to a nice simple n/a

Personally I like German engineering especially the early stuff like the pulse engine ive mounted the gas just wish i had a full cage to mount the pulse induction engine to needs to be high so it doesn't burn my hair then my doodle blade is ready for launch could be taking orders before westfield do.

They've hidden the header tank and all the wiring and fuses.

Would have benefitted from a matching orange stripe on bonnet and nose … IMO… just saying! I’m sure you would agree @aeg

I couldn't take too many really close up photos, but the "custom-built for us" engine is based on a 2L Duratec, unless I'm mistaken? I don't know who the tuner is, as the chap I was speaking to wouldn't say. Which is fair enough from my point of view. The new XI is reported as being 25% done, and is currently off being dressed in its aluminium body! It very much sounds like Westfield are looking at going up market...... No idea on pricing as yet.
