Made it home, part in the dry and then chucked it down for the last third of the trip. What a thrill!! Cheers all...I'm hooked! Speak soon

All the best for a great 2026!

Saturday dinner time, sat doing nothing in particular, some friends say they're going skiing, anyone want to join them. An hour later I'm at their house booking it. Monday morning I'm on my way to Andorra for 3 days skiing. 13 years since the last time and 39 from my first time on snow. I've had a great time and can't wait to do it all again next year. This is what retirement is all about.

The Plan! Start June 3rd Nearly 1300 miles. 18 days, 17 overnight stays in order to catch the elusive haggis. Me in my westie and my mate in his Locost seven will undertake the drive from the flat fens in East Anglia and head to the Eastern side of the nc500. We will then head west and back down through the pennines and back home. UPDATE 17 individual hotels or b&bs booked. Must be mad lol

Hi all. Just joined the WSCC and recently collected my Westfield. Looking forward to getting out and about asap and hopefully meeting up with some other members!

Thanks to the generous support of the members. I am currently boxing each mug or mugs ready for safe transportation. Hoping to have completed this by the end of the week having sold them much faster than anticipated. Monday Tuesday deliveries I would expect. ATB Hedley.

Back again...update... Well just before Christmas I bit the bullet and bought my first Westfield. Currently wintered in a dehumidified container and looking forward to some dryer weather. It might be a previous member's car (I'm in touch with him on FB) Pretty much the spec I was looking for too. Thinking of some preventative Lanoguard to keep the chassis ship shape...any thoughts on that? Many thanks

They always send im pizza boxes New hoses for wilwood and Golf calipers

Great news! All Westfield Sports Car Club 40th Anniversary mugs have now been posted up to and including Tuesday 13th January, including those heading over to Europe. On behalf of the Westfield Sports Car Club Committee, I’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone who purchased an anniversary mug. Your support genuinely means a lot and helps us celebrate this fantastic milestone together. Enjoy your mug, and here’s to 40 years of WSCC. More to come! HB

After 12 years of ownership I have decided to sell my 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX 2.0 U.K. car. Owned by me since November 2013 and before that by another WSCC member. Approx 96500 miles, used initially as a second car and then more recently as third to my BRZ. Large file of receipts, never welded since I’ve had it and not before as far as I’m aware. In recent years most of the mileage has been done driving between car shows. I have not modified the car in any way as I prefer to keep them as standard, although the previous owner did tell me when I bought it that this has a Prodrive back box fitted. Being a 2004 car this also falls into the cheaper road tax bracket. I have always kept on top of any maintenance and major jobs completed over the 12 years I’ve owned it. The Clutch was replaced shortly after I bought the car and the timing belt last year at the same time as the last service and MoT which was at 96552 miles, the transfer box has been rebuilt with new seals and bearings at 82000 miles and a new alternator and battery was fitted at 95014 miles, 6 months MOT till July 2026. The Airbag recall has been done by Subaru in 2016. Large file of receipts for servicing and MoT’s going back to 2007. Like all Impreza’s do at some time in their life this does have a parasitic battery drain from the tracker. Despite my best efforts I’ve not managed to find where it is so I can disconnect it, but I keep the car plugged into a charger when not being driven. The car is fitted with a tow-bar but I still have the brackets which fit behind the rear bumper should you wanted to remove the tow bar and refit these. I will be sorry to see the car go but as I am now working from home it’s difficult to justify owning this and two other cars and in the last year I only covered 100 miles. £6750 or very near offers. I am located in Fordham to the North West of Colchester and viewings are possible most days.

Just before Christmas I fitted my new header tank: I had to cut the old connecting hose off and fit a new one: I had to order a new hose clamp which arrived the next day. Then my mother came down with some sort of norovirus thing and my wife came down with flu. Just as they were getting themselves sorted out I came down with some sort of lurgi as well. But, today, I finally got the hose clamp fitted: It only took three weeks David

Well, as I may have mentioned before, email is not my area of expertise. However... The connection via ggr is expected, because the server is on their network and Postfix is the software on the server that routes/redirects our emails. But, it certainly looks like someone is “spoofing" one of our publicly visible email addresses and is using it to try and get access to a user account with a very typical “phishing" type of email. Hence why this ended up in your spam. Good to know your spam filter is working - so just ignore them as these type of emails are used as a scattergun approach to hacking accounts. It goes without saying that you NEVER EVER click on ANY link in an email unless you are absolutely 100% sure that it is genuine.

Had a great day yesterday at the Morgan factory. There’s a large cafe adjacent to the showroom, a shop (not the cheapest, but with some interesting content) and a ‘heritage centre’ all of which can be accessed for free. Charges for factory tour and any Morgan drives, all on their website. All staff were very friendly and helpful. No restrictions on photos. A most enjoyable day. Andy

Hi all - thanks for letting me join the club Ever since I first drove a caterham 10 years ago at a palmersport day I've been longing to get my first kit car I'm pleased to say tomorrow is the day (all being well)! Looking forward to, and nervous about, the 3.5hr trip on the train up to Yorkshire to pick it up, and then the 5ish hr drive home to East Herts in the soaking wet - but I guess I'll learn a lot during that first experience... I picked up a 2000 Westfield SE Zetec 1800Q from PistonHeads in this auction - looking forward to chatting with you guys about all things Westie related! https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/auction/19602901?utm_campaign=enews%20bulletin&utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_term=Newsletter Send Smart List

The doors with this Westy I’m refurbing were very tired looking with tatty edges and faded cloth, the windows wears quite badly scratched in places, anyway I did some repairs using “Shoe glue”. I've fitted some edging and gave them a really good clean, sprayed the material with autoglym spray dye, and then polished the windows with head light restorer and a sponge buffing pad. quite pleased with the result.

New tyres to replace my 20 year old budget ones. I was getting the wheels refurbished today, but I seem to have booked a skiing holiday somehow.

Ignore the red tape, Didn't have any black, But ill thread it through loom corrugated section once I get some from work, but now I have reactive brake lights lol And while I was at it, little extinguisher install

A photo taken last fall at a local autocross. It's winter here now and the car is for the most part inside while I work on some front end aero stuff. dave

Hello all, I am not sure how I didn't find this forum a while ago when I purchased my Westfield last year but here I am! I have a 1990 SE across the pond in the US and I am in the process of rebuilding the car to a drivable state. (I'd love to upload an image here but it appears I can only attach images through URL's, what's the proffered method for doing this here?) My Westfield started its life in California with the soul from a first generation Ford Capri as the donor car. It presumably lived this way until the previous owner had unfortunately blown up the old cologne 2.6 that was in it. I believe it has a type 9 5 speed transmission and I can't remember off of the top of my head the specific rear end. In the US there isn't really any aftermarket for the cologne V6s, especially the very rare 2.6L so finding parts to rebuild proved to be quite difficult. At the end of the day I would have a quite heavy 100hp at best boat anchor. This lead me to sell the 2 cologne motors (One was blown up and the other needed machine work done as well) to a very happy first generation capri owner. Now I am planning to go to a BEC route, I am thinking of going the Hayabusa as I presume there might be some existing megabusa parts floating around out there. If not, I know the aftermarket for the busa is quite extensive so its likely that someone else makes what I am looking for besides very Westfield specific parts. I still have a few other projects ahead of the Westfield unfortunately, but I am determined to liquidate some of them to get the cash and time to focus on this for 2026. However I would like to get a head start on the parts list needed to make this project a success, and I have a few questions. One of the main concerns of things I likely wont be able to make myself is the headers, does anyone have a megabusa header lying around that they wouldn't mind parting with? Or know which aftermarket header is most Westfield friendly? Honestly if there is a good place to find the driveshaft items (spline adapter and preffered driveshaft to use as a donor?) I've seen people using E46 driveshafts for this, that would be convenient as between myself and my friends we have a lot of E46 and E36 parts and cars lying around. I also need seats, my car unfortunately came without them. I see someone here has a Tillett B3.5 for sale. Is that something you would recommend for both the driver and passenger? I imagine my fiancé would prefer a more comfort oriented option if possible, however I do imagine that is a tall ask for something like this. I know it'll never be her favorite car lol. Thanks in advance, I'll definitely have more questions after I get off of work. Just figured I'd write something simple on my lunch break after I got the account activation email!

Hello I just acquired a 1992 SEIGHT. I want to restore it to its original condition, and as you can see from the photos, I have a lot of work to do. I don't have any documentation, so I'll often be asking for your help with information on certain parts. See you soon!

Good evening. Thank you for your encouraging messages. I don't know if it's the first one in France, but what's certain is that there are practically none. It's properly registered for road use. I'll be sure to post photos of my project's progress.

An early birthday present arrived for my second set of wheels. Porch carpet still on the 'must replace' list, 5 years after moving in...

Hi All. Will do another run of calendars for everyone in this post at the weekend. They can sometimes be delayed, so was just waiting to see if they turned up! Thanks Mat

We will be visiting the Anderton Boat Lift on the 17th May. We will have a display area reserved for our Westfields, there is a nice cafe for breakfast and canal boat rides are available if you fancy something a bit more leisurely. Please let me know if you can attend so we can ensure we have enough spaces reserved. Anderton Boat Lift, Lift Lane, Anderton, Northwich, Cheshire, CW9 6FW.

Great start to the year with our annual pub lunch with Surrey and surrounding area owners. Well done to Holly and Rob for bringing the Christmas spirit & Well done for Andy and daughter for being brave enough to bring their car! Fingers crossed for plenty of sunshine and fun in 2026!

Received refurbished shocks for my track Westfield from https://www.thunderlane.eu . I bought the car in 2018, with a few years of history before that, and I think the shocks had never been overhauled. They got new bearings, thinner valves for a lightweight car, new bump stops, etc. They were dyno tested (I don’t understand those diagrams at all , but I was assured they were matched in pairs). I’m really curious whether I’ll feel the difference. When they were “new” ( I mean after few seasons in Westfield Cup NL , and on some endurance challenges (got few broken wishbones with that car ) , even on the softest settings the car was quite darty. Hopefully this effort and the expense — will be noticeable Edit – oh, and I had my springs measured: front (RED) 60 N/mm, rear (BLACK) 40 N/mm. Not sure if this is right or wrong, but at least I now have a baseline if I learn which way to go softer or stiffer at the front or rear in the future.

Some Essex club members are taking the opportunity to combine a Morgan Factory tour with the Malvern show weekend on Friday May 29th. We've booked the 11am slot (2hour tour) and would love for any other interested members to join us! Here's the tour booking link: https://experience.morgan-motor.com/factory-tours/#booknow

Not sure about that, I’ve met a few people from Lanarkshire who were a bit flakey.

Mine arrived today too. Wrapping was super impressive, took me about half an hour to get into it Cheers

Swapped all the clips on the lower coolant hoses from nasty rusty jubilee clips to full stainless Mikalor hose clamps and refilled coolant. This should mean I have a new leak tomorrow and airlocks galore in the cooling system

Man flu for the last week and builders in the house so we're living in a bed sit atm.. Need some summer days, run out in the westy, picnic in the woods.. Can't wait..

I’m going on 26 Jan, will pop some photos into this thread. Looking forward to it. Andy

Just took delivery of the following Pipercross filter to replace the old K&N filters that the car had on it. Managed to find one with the same dimensions as the K&Ns so I don't have to go cutting up the bonnet haha. Has not taken me long to start changing things up, only picked the car up just before xmas.

Also to add….car had its first MOT today, flew through with no advisories…emissions were absolutely spot on…

I have a MT75 2.4 transit gearbox, available foc, has noisy input bearing, may be of some use to somebody. Bolts direct to Duratec engine, and takes the Westfield gearlever extension. Collection only from CW11.

That's one ordered...good idea. it would be nice to have a 40 year anniversary sticker for the back of the westtie...the mug might fall off the boot of the car...

As any properly trained husband knows, the 40th anniversary is ruby, hence the new colour for this year is ruby red. Red is also the best colour for a Westfield, contrary to what some might say…
