Thought I'd update. I purchased a Westfield, Yanto's car if anyone knows it or him. Seiw built in the late 90's, Red top Vauxhall engine with bike carbs...Very much a classic look with swept wings and prisoner colour scheme. Have spent the last few weeks sorting a few things to make it drive better for me and is almost all back together. The fuel gauge was inaccurate so fitted a slightly longer tube type sender with resistor and now works a lot better. The gear change was a little sloppy so fitted a new gearbox extender and shifter, Does now feel a little stiff changing stationary in the garage but will give it a test this weekend. I have changed the swept wings for cycle wings and slowly changing the chrome parts for satin black. And finally at 6ft 2 I found it a nightmare to drive with the wind attacking me, (How I drove my old one like it all those years ago I have no idea) so have lowered the drivers floor by 50mm, already feels like i'm looking through the windscreen than over it. Big test drive this weekend hopefully.

A wee run out early this morning and a pit stop for some breakfast 😁

You’ve lost more than inches from the waist Rich 😉😉

For Sale – Westfield SuperTec – Enclosed Trailer – Spares Package After owning and developing my very loved car over the last 12 years, I’ve made the very reluctant decision to move on. To say this has been an extremely difficult decision is an understatement but due to other commitments personal circumstances it’s sadly time to move on. I’ve had an absolute blast with the car, it’s brought me an amazing amount of pleasure and has introduced me into the Westfield Speed Series family, where I’m happy to say I’ve met some of the best people I now call my best friends. History The car was originally built to a very high standard by Paul Aspden, the founder of Playskool Motorsport in circa 1999/2000. It was also owned by WSCC legends, Steve Davies and latterly Mike Allard (The Duck). Mike ran the car successfully in the Speed Series for a time before I purchased her in around 2005/6. It ran a high performance Vauxhall XE with around 235hp and was mated to a Quaife Syncro box. I bought the car as a successor to my mighty 98bhp crossflow narrow body, which I competed with for a year or so before being made an expert in the Speed Series after 2 wins, those were the rules back then! 235hp was a bit of a step up, but after a few pant painting outings with Mike’s words of “be careful or it’ll bite” still ringing in my ears a reasonable amount of success followed eventually winning the Speed Series outright in ’09 after further development and more power, a Quaife Dog Box and 262hp Following the success of the ’09 season, I took a little time off and just did favourite events for a couple of years, chasing championships, moving house, getting life in general all come at a cost. So where are we going with the ad’ I hear you say. WELL, the biggest developments came in 2012 when a very good friend said, my dad says you can have that engine in the workshop if you’re interested….and here the journey to 357hp begun. Two years spare time lost in the workshop, developing parts, engineering them, trial fitting, many late nights, a whole load of goodwill and a substantial amount of money later, the SuperTec was born! Not for the faint hearted, this car will do 0 – 60 in 2.5 seconds and will get you to 100mph in under 5.7 seconds, it really is that quick!

Due to Boris's announcement today about no more than 6 people at any meeting from Monday, we'll move the breakfast meeting forward a week and have it this Sunday,13th. Usual place, usual time, Swan and Cygnet, 10AM.

Knockhill actually do refer to them as guests .. I'd still expect my wheels swapping though. 🙂

That car is an absolute steal at the price. An utterly fantastic bargain for someone, though sad it will be leaving you Rich!

For that sort of money, it’d be a no-brainer!

Sad times @Scottish Bloke really thought you would be back out. Someone will get an absolute monster

Oh wow.......Possibly the best spec'ed car I've ever seen. Best of luck with the sale....

We're each allowed two guests if you want to pop over? Edit. Maybe @John Dolan - Chairman wants to pop up and swap my wheels again? 😉

I haven't watched the whole vid, but spotted a slight mistake at the start..

I'd settle for this one: https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/forecast/gcvx23k6x#?date=2020-09-14

I just love those wheels........they really shouldn't look that good, but they do....Fantastic.

Morning all! Seeing as I'm finally getting near to being able to buy the car I've wanted for the last 15 years or so, I figured I might as well sign up and stop lurking! My name is Simon, which won't be a great surprise from the user name, and I've been slowly getting closer to sorting myself out an XI for a while now. So far my journey has been mostly one of looking and longing, spurred on by a run out in Simon Marks' XI last year. I've been acquiring parts recently with the aim of having some of the main mechanical bits sorted before I buy the kit from Westfield. But being an awkward b*****r, I shall be using some non-standard bit! The plan, which is slowly being fulfilled by a well known auction site, is to have a flat backed XI powered by a lightly tuned Climax FWB and my version of Lotus's de-Dion rear suspension. So far I've got an ex-water pump engine, in bits and needing some machining prior to assembly, two 5 speed Lotus Elite/Eclat gearboxes (to make one good one), and a rear diff being built up for me by a local machinist. Not a lot, but its a start! I know this may cause me some bother coming registration time, but I have a cunning Morris Minor based plan for that..... I figure that's all for now, so hello all! I'll no doubt be making more posts once we've moved house and I've re-built the asbestos roofed garage so I can start to play!

My feedback - SELL MORE!

I have finally sorted this.

I am selling the car that was my original road car and became my sprint car, which is the car below in my signature. BUT... I have sold some of the bits from it so it is not complete but it does have a lot of nice bits in there... well I would say that! Here's the details... First there is NO ENGINE and NO GEARBOX. The engine (atmo Cossie on injection) is for sale separately but is not ready yet as I am rebuilding it. The gearbox was sold already. So... Westfield narrow SEi chassis. I have added an extra brace at the top of the engine bay and a cross in the nose to add a little rigidity. There's also a Caged cage that I will come on to later... The chassis is in good order and the car has never hit anything more substantial than a grassy run-off area. The bodywork is very tatty. There is a large hole on the drivers side for exhaust exit and when I changed to a bonnet exit exhaust I cut a large hole in the bonnet as well. The long and short is unless you're very handy with fibreglass and/or filler, you'll likely need a new bonnet. The body is sound though. No cracks or dings, just generally tatty. The Gelcoat is thick though so I strongly believe that a good mopping could bring back the lustre. The car is road registered in 1998 on a Q plate prior to the SVA (just!) so at MOT time it's a 1973 car with visible smoke only emissions tested. The chassis still contains the following: 1 x Caged cage. If it was me I'd remove it and re-powder coat it... Front wide track rose jointed suspension by Mickmade including rebuildable AVO ally shocks, 320lb springs, all spacers and Cortina uprights - NO HUBS. Front ARB available/negotiable. Ally Westfield 4 pot calipers available/negotiable. These are the same as Bremsport and Outlaw M16 calipers. Pedal box with a Caterham (shorter) clutch pedal 'cos the standard pedal (which I have somewhere) needs a push cable... I'd ditch this pedal box for a floor mounted pedal set to be honest. AP Racing Master Cylinder - I'd put a seal set in it... Most brake pipes are still in situ but no front flexibles. Rear brake system is complete. Steering column but NO RACK or MOUNTS - standard OEM Escort rack available/negotiable including track rod ends and wide track extensions but NO RACK MOUNTS. Screen and wipers - spare screen available/negotiable. Escort handbrake and compensator including handbrake cables - fully functional! Complete loom. Untidy but it's all there. A day or two would see that tidied up nicely I reckon. Carbon dash (Mickmade) with VDO gauges - the dash is in good nick but the gauges are tatty but functional. The gauges could easily be removed and the bezels repainted. Switches are IP67 rated stainless steel items from RS in great nick. I have two race seats, once grey cloth and tatty, one black vinyl and OK except for slight wear/witness marks where it has been against the rear bulkhead Prop shaft, type 9 to Ford escort with the small flange. Ford English 4:4 diff with Quaife ATB, rebuilt a while ago by Road and Race transmissions and with no running since. Rover V8/"Race" driveshafts Rear uprights, hubs, lightened discs, calipers Fully rose jointed rear wishbones from Mickmade. AVO ally rebuildable shocks and springs. Rear ARB and all fittings. Not pretty but functional. Standard Westfield fuel tank converted to injection with a central swirl bowl and all appropriate returns and dash 6 fittings. NO FUEL PUMP. The tank will need a clean out... This would be a great basis for a project. It is NOT for someone looking for an easy way in to Westfields as there is some work to do, clearly. I no longer have the time or an appropriate area where I can undertake the work. But the basics are there and they are solid. Photos can be added on request. I don't have any at all at the moment. I'll try and get some up over the weekend. Offers considered in the 4K to 5k area. Anyone using any phrases used by Mike Brewer, Ed Chyna or Ant Ansted will be ignored...

That's a shame Martyn I was going to pop over a say hello. Have a great day the weather looks good.

Further information for Friday We need to pre-book all drivers and crew (passengers) before the event so can all attendees PM me an email address please? Also, COVID regulations mean that we must keep the gates locked during the event with only pre-booked drivers and crew allowed on site, so no spectators I'm afraid.
