Today is a sad day for me because I’m finally selling Roary :-( However it’s a fantastic day for whoever the new owner is because it’s a great Westfield which has many many miles of exciting driving left in it. Roary is a lovely and honest Westfield. I’ve hidden nothing in my description and, while I’m not a mechanic (you never know what’s around the corner), I would be confident selling to a family member or close friend. In fact I’m only selling as I now have a V8 SEiGHT and can't justify keeping both. Vehicle is in Wakefield (WF4). You are more than welcome to come for a test drive. However please only come if you are seriously looking at buying a Westfield. Photo's taken the day this advert was posted (31st Aug 2018) so you know they are an accurate representation of the vehicle. Looking for £5,995.00 ONO 1990 Westfield SEiW with only 6,970 genuine miles 12 Months MOT (Exp. August 30th 2019) with NO Advisories Full Service History with LOTS of Original Paperwork and Build Manual Well known in the Peak District & Yorkshire WSCC Groups HPI Clear (I have copies of the HPI documents) I’m the 3rd owner from new Full Wet Weather Gear, Doors and a Soft Bits Half Hood are also included in the sale 1650cc Crossflow Engine (Rebuilt 2014) Twin Dellorto 40’s Ramair Filter Piper 285 Cam Big Valve Head Oil Catch Tank Modified Distributor with Correct Curve Optima Red Top Battery New Wunoff 6” Repack Exhaust Gearbox: 4 Speed Type 3 Brakes (Front): M16 Calipers & Mintex 1144 Pads Brakes (Rear): Escort RS Drums Original Westfield Spax Dampers English Rear Diff Momo Removeable Steering Wheel (with Rapfix Racing Boss) 14” Alloys (Only 1,500 miles on the tyres which were purchased in 2016) 20mm Rear Wheel Spacers Wind Deflectors Brand New Carpet (From Westfield) ... which makes the interior look AMAZING for it’s age! Hi-Back Seats on Runners Lockable Boot Lid New Wing Mirrors, Wipers, Fuel Tank Sender Unit, Starter Solenoid & Map Pockets Good Body Work (not perfect but look at the pictures and you will see it’s been well looked after) Work required is limited unless you want to upgrade it some more. The exhaust could do with another bracket (it moves about a bit while driving and could be taken slightly further away from the body to help protect the bodywork). It has a couple of cracks in the gel coating around the wing bolts and there are the normal stone chips (mainly on the rear arches) but the body work is lovely for age (I've taken this to a number of car shows and it doesn't embarrass). The steering column needs adjustment (steering wheel isn't perfectly straight when wheels are in line). It’s a X-Flow and you need to pump the accelerator a few times before starting to get enough fuel into the carbs. It’s also been sitting for six months with only a few small blats so could probably do with a service (although it's running lovely so this would only be precautionary/routine maintenance). I’ve driven this over the past two years on many trips across Yorkshire and the Peak District. Roary has been to Silverstone and looked the business even if I am biased! Any mechanical issues I’ve had (which have been few and far between) have been fixed with the correct parts and using the experience of the ladies & gentlemen on the WSCC forum. There isn’t much more I can add other than that Roary always gets LOTS of admirers at the car shows I’ve been to, is a great car to drive and will be missed after being sold. P.S. More photos are available if required. Just PM me.

I'm going to be joined by my better half (Emma) for tomorrow's run out. Looking forward to it

If you still have room I wouldn’t mind tagging along, as weather is looking good !

Ok you lot, Jim Cunliffe, Diggsy and i are meeting at Mottram cutting (between Stalybridge and Roe cross) for a run down to the lake Via Buxton over the Cat and Fiddle to Macc then down to the lake to meet up with the Peak district crowd at 1 - 1.30pm. Time: tomorrow (Saturday) morning at 10.30am who's up for it?

Has no one picked up on the obvious yet!!! She’s only gone and let Glen have a drive of the Westie or did she? Have fun tomorrow guys ,I’m afraid we can’t make it as working again see you soon Andy and Becky

I bought from the main dealer in the end. Motorpoint were nice to deal with, had a good choice of cars, priced competitively, but they do need to leave the hard sell on GAP, coatings and warranties until you actually decide to buy a car. Perry's Mazda at Barnsley were the polar opposite regarding a hard sell, they were nice guys. The car sold itself really, it was purchased new 2 years ago from them by one careful lady owner, and she traded it back in for an anniversary MX5 a few weeks ago. With 6000miles on the clock it was the best value and in the best condition. At Motorpoint the cars history seems to get lost as they haul them around the country. I got a full tank of fuel, a years warranty, a service and because I was buying in August I will be sent a dashcam from head office, don't think MP offer that. Interestingly the salesman at Perry's asked me if I was aware of the very active and local MX5 Owners Club. It would be nice if the Westfield Factory and Toybox could do the same for our club. It was a nice drive home back through the Peak District!!

I hope your brakes are working well and your batteries charged too @6carjon

Yes all fuelled up and looking forward to it. You can draw lots for who wants to follow me and sniff my no bagpuss emissions....

Brill, thanks @Paul Hurdsfield. I have booked a table for 1pm, although we might sit outside if the weather is as good as today, it is booked under my name with the manager, Jade. I had better get a route sorted then

weatehr forecast looking good for sunday.

We bought an MX5 5 years ago and joined the local club (South West Midlands area) at the end of 2014. Good club and had some fun with them. Lot's of drives and shows and even a couple of jaunts abroad (one to Denmark). Track work too. Bit older than the usual Westfield crowd though (but so are we!)

Yep..... Leave Cheltenham @ 6am Sneak into house without disturbing the Wendz Get Westie out without disturbing the Wendz Have a grand day out blatting with you all. Get back home, put the Lardy One back away, without disturbing the Wendz, and pretend I've just got back having not seen her for a week! Yep, that's definitely doable....... NOT!!!

Many thanks. I’ll read this tonight with a bottle of wine thank you

Not really. Using the above logic you should be able to put any plate on up to 2004, it's just that when you take it off again you'll be given back an E reg.

Early start for you then Dave?

No, no it's true, honestly, she even left her driving licence in with the car paperwork. Does make me laugh though, I bought my mark 1 specifically for taking on the track, and then sold it smiling sweetly as though butter wouldn't melt, I don't look like a boy racer though do I? Got a coffee, no biscuits, no cake, umph. Lots of cake tomorrow though, eh, Mr BP

Looks a great car and a good price too for an appreciating classic. Swept wings are the next big thing

You of all people, shouldn't have fell for this line It's probably been round the ring 3000 times with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabine_Schmitz driving it Did they seal the deal with Cake?

That was the plan, it’s in the car, along with the spare flag poles(!!) ready to go.

The more the merrier, though as 'Manchester Marauders' don't expect Gravy on your cakes. (N.B. You'll do well to get any, if @Julie Hall - AO Representative, Peak District AO is about

Plus Bioman please and Richard Watton :-)

I am interested but need to see if there are any further issues on shakedown this weekend before I commit. Fingers crossed.

Put me down for 14.30 on the Dyno please. Interested to see what it makes compared to other S2000’s!

There will be a number of Manchester Marauders joining you at the lake hotel Julie. we will do our own circular northern Peak District run including the cat and fiddle and meet you at our southern most point. at the mo we have. Jim and Julie Cunliffe Paul and Margaret Hurdsfield Graham Diggle any more get yer names down here

Ali, Thank you so much. Worked a treat and saved me a small fortune from Westfield. Regards, Brads

Q928 Spotted at the Kelpies today - looking good!! Dave

Radiator is in just need to test it today with a short run to make sure everything is tight. Had a moment of panic yesterday when water weed out the bottom hose as I had over tightened the clamp.. it's so rare to loosen a clamp and make it work better New ecu sensor today to make fan work at the right temperature.....hope it seals properly

Sorry you can't make it @BillyPee but really glad you've got your car running again

Sorry can't make this one, away with another 100+ Harley's for our end of season bash. Gail is the support vehicle for a change
