I would hazard a guess that at this point in time, from a spring/damper point of view, there is nobody in the industry that knows Westfield suspension better than Tony; but then he’s in a unique position, not just owning a Westfield to use as a test/development mule, but to have also done huge numbers of track day miles in it, as well. Of course that’s not to say the Spax are the pinnacle of what can be done. They’re very much designed to a (very popular) price point.if you want Ohlins (et al) results, there aren’t any short cuts, you’ll need the budget to match. But if you’re looking at that next step up after the factory standard Gaz, or need to swap out worn Protechs etc, without breaking the bank, I’d be going Spax every time.

Lovely run over Clee Hills this morning with my lad. Good couple of hours, before the roads got busy. Stopped at this spot for a break, and a lovely chap who was there on a bike came over for a chat. Turned out he worked at Westfield on our cars in the 90s developing things like the V8 and a lot of other things that were still in my car now. He had some great stories. After we left, wished I'd got his name.

I fitted garage doors for a living for over 10 years. Ive been out of the industry now for 10 years. If you want a secure roller shutter there was only one manufacturer that had any security accreditation. That was Securoglide. Rollers shutters are inherently insecure as they are so flexible. It takes very little force to push on the slats and bend the sufficiently to push them out of the guide tracks. The wider the door the easier it is . The insulated profiled slats offer strongest resistance and single doors upto 8' wide. Their was also compact shutters that needed less head room for the roll above the opening. These were less secure than the non compact doors with wider slats. I replaced so many that had been broken into or bent beyond repair by parking incidents. Always buy from a long established reputable manufacturer that can supply all parts as replacements. Especially slats. If you opt for automation, make sure all sensors, control boards, motors are available as spare parts. I've seen so many people buy from Sunday paper adverts, only to find out that the company they choose won't supply a control board or slat and they are faced with a bill for a new door. If security is crucial then an full panel steel up and over with 4 point locking is the lowest cost, a sectional door with operator and no handle would be my personal choice. They are prone to rattling when the wind blows. I have a neighbour who had one fitted and even in a moderate breeze it sounds like we are in a boat yard. I cent image what it must sound like sat in their lounge.! There are so many roller shutter suppliers and bit all are equal .

What a great magazine format.

I recently all 4 if mine with a set from Spax. Tony has an incredible amount of historical information and knowledge about Westfield's. They were delivered within a couple of days of me ordering and Tony was very helpful throughout the installation. Particularly when it turned out my car had been running front shocks on all 4 corners for all of its life ! Installation is straight forward as is set up. There's a suspension setup sheet from Westfield in on the forum. I'm sure someone will be able to point you to it which will help you set up the ride height. As for damping, Spax documents give great advise.

I like that @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative ! Loving the new seats too 😍 I'm excited to see how the 255bhp version compares to the MegaS2000 and Sport250 after the development work.

Protec are good as well. Easy to deal with and comprehensive website.

More information to be released soon, for now here is the latest update. It is a stunning drive apparently, can't wait for the official launch, so stay posted on this forum!

Parked up on the Westfield club stand The Caterham club stand had 20 cars on it The Caterham club stand had a manned tent too I like a Caterham but it doesn't have a club quite like ours and you need a few more pennies The Lotus, Caterham and Morgan factory stands were all together and just across from the Westfield Chesil Ltd and GBS stands The Caterham deals were available and were interesting to compare to our new Westfield model. This one plus this one and finally You want to have a peek at the new Westfield model?

Are they still for sale?

Hi! is this still for sale?

Lack of use forces my reluctant sale of my Westie. LONG MOT UNTIL JULY 2026. 2001 KIT BODY WITH A LOVELY FORD 1600 CVH ENGINE RUNNING TWIN WEBER CARBS.

(some not right way up, but you get the idea!)

Does any one have a Pinto alternator bracket for an early 90s SEiW chassis? With the number of Pinto swaps that have been done, I'm hoping someone might have one spare. Happy to exchange for some beer tokens. Thanks, Gary

Been meaning to pop by, looks really popular.

Great to get out and about in the ☀️

Splitter now sold.

Welcome @symonh2000. Lovely looking car!

Welcome, nice tidy looking Westfield!

Good to meet you earlier today Rob. We stayed until about 2pm. There was also a 1921 Bentley turned up. Chassis number 16. Definitely a well used car. Like you spent time chatting to the Caterham guys. Mark
