The thing is though, Westfields aren't transport, they're a hobby. So as long as they fulfil your requirements as a hobby, be it racing, driving, polishing or tinkering, it doesn't matter, they work for you.

Here is my man-maths: Depreciation - nil Tax - £250 Insurance - £150 MOT and servicing £100 Total cost to not use is £500 or £10 per week or less than 3 pints. No brainer - keep it!

So that's 30 miles in total?

Can I bring the MiL?

Stay with the plated but rocking horse springs to mind and you will problem have to get it overhauled which adds to the cost.

Tim, I could well be interested in two or more Toyos if and when you do split them. I have to check my sizes to be sure.

Off to visit my sister up in Harogate for the weekend tomorrow, and unless it's absolutely lashing it down, I plan on heading up the M6 in the Westfield, to Tebay, before turning off and taking a run over via the Buttertubs pass to Harogate the long way. Just cause I've always fancied doing some of those roads in the Westfield. And if the weather's not too bad, might go to the classic car show in Ripon on the Sunday. Then there's Silverstone next weekend... I used to do the whole stripped out, carpet less, heaterless, aeroscreened, R888 shod, fire breathing XE powered, straight cut gearboxed car thing. And I used the car quite a bit. Then I put a windscreen, heater and weather gear on it and just kept using it more and more, to the point where the SC box and raw ness of the engine were damaging my hearing, then I swapped to the Honda car, which has no pretensions to be anything other than a fast road going Westfield.

I wish my wife was a supercharged monster as well still not worth selling the westy for though

I have to say I get more pleasure upgrading and tinkering with the car than driving . When I go for a blat I have to be in the right mood . However a day in the garage cleaning and improving always gives enjoyment

9,000 miles in 20 years! and every one was glorious, I took it for its MOT this morning. The rose joints on the anti roll bar are as slack as when I bought them, and there's a bit of smoke on cold start, but sh!t does it go. My only complaint is that the dashboard/mirrors etc are like a Fisher Price Activity Center, and attract small children.

I just had to up my policy from 5000 miles a year to 7500 as I have done 4500 since April and it's a 500 mile round trip to silverstone next week. Loving it!

It's a controversial point I know, (not saying it's the case for the thread starter, either). But I have noticed over the years so many cars starting out heavily used, and then getting more and more heavily upgraded, till in the end they become so focussed/hardcore that they just don't get used any more. Whether it's because they become too scary to use on the road or just too uncomfortable/hard to drive on the road I don't know. It's funny how often you see the process repeated though.

24000 miles in 16 years. My kids will inherit it.

A few photos from 2012, Adam and the Ants. The Cobra parade lap.

I've done 10000 miles in 18 years... But I could never think of selling. For me, it's an argument where the heart will always win over the head- but I've been lucky enough to be able to afford to keep the money locked up in it. So I'd say keep it unless you really need the cash from selling!

There is a full list on the silverstone website.
