well done mark taking the class E1 win for the season with some very good driving spending most of the season on a standard engine with the race engine letting go all the time. also well done to bill n ben or is it bill and bryan taking it down to the wire for the o/a title when bill got the DNF I bet bryan thought he had it only to DNF him self and loose out by (I think) 1 point . great end to the season

David, absolutely more than helpful. Even at £4200 it sounds at the heavy end given the time of year. Sounds like it needs some money/time/TLC. You, as others have said, that the ideal Westie is out there somewhere, so I'll keep looking!!

Hi Phil, I went to see this car a few months ago when it was at its original price of £6000. I spent all of 5 minutes looking at it, but decided within the first few seconds that it wasn't the car for me! As others have said, I think it's a wide. The engine is a 1600 or 1700cc cross flow and the block is very rusty with no paint left on it. The body, especially the bonnet is crazed and the wheels are marked and have been kerbed. The steering wheel is too big and you'll graze your knuckles when the doors are on. The wishbones, uprights and steering arm have all been poorly hand painted. The gear linkage felt extremely floppy. It depends what you're looking for in a Westfield, but as I say, it wasn't for me. I'm sure you could find better closer to you. Happy hunting. Let us know when you get one. The ideal Westie for you will be out there somewhere.

:D Back to the original question, for a wide body car it seems very well priced to me. To save yourself a long drive you could always ask the seller to send a few detailed photos to you first to look over so you can better gauge the condition. From what i can see from the photos it appears quite clean, but it's easy to neglect the bits that can't be seen such as the underbody, so a photo of the rear suspension and the chassis within the engine bay will help give an idea of whether it's been well cared for. I'd also budget for having to replace the shocks and also those tyres.

At least my guess was right

you need to type faster than that to beat me

b******* I must learn to type faster

Looking at the rear lights and roll bar it appears to be an early widebody to me. Engine is a crossflow.

I bought the 13's and 888's combo. very happy with them (make sure you get centre badges for the wheels, apparently not part of the deal.) is there any deals on R888's for 15 inch wheels for Jocker?

Hi Nick, I have already been in contact with Matt and hopefully (Stu or I ) will catch up with him at a Cotswold meeeting in the near future. He has also been speaking to Tom Frankland (new to 2013 Speed Series) about Speed Series requirements for basically a road going car. Tom's been there, done it and now wears a badge with a big smile on it. Paul

I have a Playskool Snell Approved helmet and it is excellent, never fogs up, always comfortable and very good value for MSA approved car helmet protection - and excellent service from Luke as well. RECCOMENDED 100% James

I'd give a thumbs up for the Racelidz as sold by Playskool Motorsport. Snell approved, so ok for competition, yet no more than the average bike helmet. However, like others have said, you really need to try one on for fit/comfort, so get to the Autosport Racing Car show, or next year's Nat. Kitcar Show, and visit the Playskool stand to try one on.

You need to visit the Autosport show next year, plenty of choice there and you need to try them on to find the best fitting helmet. You can try them on within a few minutes of each other for a quick comparison.
