I had one with a similar set-up many years ago. The sound was amazing, you can't beat twin 40s on a crossflow. It'll perform like a rocketship! Love the purple.

Afraid I can't help with the question, I'm sure James "the mighty x flow" will be along soon, but boy is that car PURPLE or what? Love it! A new "Purple Throbber" perhaps?

Hi everyone, new to the forum and new to owning a westfield, I've just bought a 1700 cross flow, power max forged Pistons, A2 camshaft, twin 40 dellorto carbs and a type 9 ford gearbox, has anyone got one with a similar engine or no what it will perform like? Thanks, Chris.

Yep, there's a new Throbber in town!

Picking up my first westfield tomorrow, exciting times.

The Xflow is the ONLY engine, everything else is just a way of making it go..! Red top, Black top, clockwork, battery, wind power, push it down hill, all much of a muchness...

We have a another Purple car in Essex, owned by Stuart and it's a bit swift.

Do you mean people fit other engines? I saw your blog too, that really is purple

What's the difference between the colour pink and the colour purple...? The strength of your grip...

Welcome and enjoy the car. I used to have a 1700 crossflow Caterham and it is an excellent engine

Good luck and great choice of engine

Prepare for lots of.... Shlurp, shlurp, fart, pop, bang and VROOOM... The noises never, ever get old. Welcome and enjoy..!

Enjoy the adventure Chris!

Hi there and welcome…and go easy on the first run….

Welcome to the 1700 xflow club, he he

Well, this will fit the 1.8 and 2.0 litre as far as I know but the blacktop needs a "windage" tray adding. Although i dont think they sell the sump anymore scholar might still do the windage tray for 35 quid http://www.scholarengines.co.uk/Lowline%20sump.htm Oh and pleased you got the car!

+ 1 Canon make there big 'L' series lenses in white so that everyone else knows that they're shooting with a Canon. "If it's big and white it must be a Canon" [or a Sony now] or "Must be expensive". This is good news for thieves, as they know exactly who to target! I actually shoot Nikon, we were just using this as a test.

1 x Canon EF 800mm f/5.6 L IS USM with 4 stacked 2x Extenders. Effectively a 12800mm f/88 ish L IS, hence the long exposure. Looking through the view finder is a little brighter than it is with the lens cap on. Richie Our glorious Chairman would want one of these to keep tabs on all the members.
