Just a quick appreciation to the Parts team, after my last slight rant about WF. Ordered a part on Sunday night, it arrived and was fitted by midday on Wednesday, and that's with the Bank Holiday. Postage was much more reasonable also, it's a great improvement. Well done Patrick and the team.

One of our well loved members, has a mild mannered passenger (who never drives their Westie). He had a previous life in advertising and world wide adventures. I've been sworn to stay silent for too long and can no longer keep his exploits secret any longer. I suspect I'll be stonned to death by cakes shortly........ After many years of secret filming I will now share the adventures of Tango Man: More to follow over future weeks, including Tango Man's other worldwide travels, and more recent adventures closer to home............

Just took this a few minutes ago, parts delivery!

I used to date his sister...

Everybody is ready, well sort of! Testing the live location option on watsapp on route to meeting point

Sounds like you may know this fella @Julie Hall - Peak District AO? He's an old romatic apparently, from what I recall. Do you remember this?

SE1W. Road registered and MOTed until next May. First registered in 1990 but very little of the original car remains. Chassis. Fully rose jointed suspension with everything adjustable with wheels on the ground which allows for precise setting up. All wishbones and joints less than 500 miles. Nitron single adjustable dampers and front anti-roll bar. MSA spec half cage for safe use on the road without crash helmet. New 6 gallon over the diff fuel tank and Facet fuel pump. Plumbed in fire extinguisher. Willwood 4 pot front brakes and Hi-spec rears. Rear body and arches removable for ease of maintenance. Distinctive “retro” colour scheme in ivory with ice blue contrast. New road springs less than 200 miles ago. Tonneau cover, removable steering wheel. 6 point Sparco harnesses, lightweight fibreglass shell seats with reverie pads. Windscreen and aero screens to swap around for different circumstances. Floor mounted pedal box with brake balance adjuster. Most instruments are the original VDO. However new Racetech tachometer fitted last year. Odyssey Extreme battery. Quick rack fitted within the last 500 miles. Wheels & Tyres. Almost new Toyo R888Rs on OZ 15” rims. Engine. 1.7 Zetec SE. Fully rebuilt less than 200 miles ago with all new bearings and seals, head modified by Cylinder Head Developments, new Newman billet camshafts 270 duration with alloy Vernier pullies, dry sumped with Pace pump and Aldon aluminium sump pan running on Miller’s fully synthetic oil, DTA engine management (which includes capability to run injection should you want to) 45 DCOE Webbers on Danst manifold and Tony Law exhaust and stainless steel repackable silencer. This engine was designed for Ford in conjunction with Yamaha and being all aluminium is very light in comparison to other car engines. Lightened flywheel. The aim has been to keep the tune at a sensible level to allow road use. Last dynoed at 165bhp before head work, new cams and rebuild. Cooling: Brand new Coolex 3 core radiator and Craig Davies electric water pump. Thermostatically controlled electric fan. Gearbox. Tranex straight cut close ratio based on a 4 speed Rocket box. All seals and gaskets replace during rebuild. Run on fully synthetic oil. Alloy bell housing Differential. Westfield English diff fitted with Quaife ATB limited slip differential. I have owned this car for just under 3 years and have steadily developed it into an enjoyable that can be driven on the road or allowed to stretch its legs on track days. The previous owner used it for sprinting and hill climbs. Sale considered to make way for new project. £8500. Covered PRG trailer available at extra cost.

Such a shame after all that development time. I hope it finds a good home.

I think the real Tango Man has been spotted today in Eyam

@Westfield Parts Dept

No thanks buddy, was looking for a 2.0 unit, Thanks anyway, Paul.

220hp per tonne is equivalent to 154hp for an average 700kg Westfield, and there is plenty of Zetec Westfields lighter than that, and gruntier than that. For 270hp, what is the 0-60 for your current car? What a given Westfield may lack in top speed, sure makes up for in throttle response, noise and drama!

Hi all! After about 40 years hankering after a sevenesque car, I finally took the plunge at the weekend and I'm the very proud owner of a gorgeous Westfield! I've always been a petrol head and have recently put together a track day R53 BMW Mini (that my eldest is now inheriting). Being 6ft 4 I wanted a wide bodied car and ideally a 2.0 zetec or redtop, and I also like the more modern cycle wing look. After much searching, I finally found one I fell in love with, a '96 SEIW in yellow and carbon fibre with a 2.0 blacktop, twin 45 Weber's, TD 1.2's, Gaz coilovers etc and loads of history. John, the previous owner (a really nice guy!) was a long term member of the WSCC and recommended I join. I'm sure people here will know the car. She's not perfect or a show car, but she's all mine! 😁 I'm looking forward to meeting some other owners (weather permitting!) and picking your brains when I inevitably start fettling, fixing and upgrading! Great to be part of the Club! Rob

from Devon. Kettle's always on if you are passing

Happy Birthday big man,

Happy birthday Aaron.

... and from me too!

I decided to spend more on the walls as the floor was made of lots of additions where the garage has grown over the years 4 sections of different concrete all cracked... how thick is the epoxy, will it still cover a bumpy floor (not bothered if it’s not level) and can it be put over regular floor paint? My floor has 2 coats of trade paint from screw fix on a unprepped floor and seems to be fine so far. But I’d love epoxy. ps the parking bays keep the toys in a sensible place so the kit car fits behind without getting out and moving every time.
