..probably a big Pinto.. 2.3 with a fast road cam! 😉

Nope. Et7 if you add 16mm spacers (it’s the other way around!) The spacers would take et40 down to et24 or et23 down to et7. Here endeth today’s lesson.

here’s the n/a test

!! Found it!

Yes! Mine is great to tow, easy to manoeuvre and fits in the single garage. Ask @maurici about single axle myth busting 😁

I will add a bit more stuff here. I see the car is wanted for touring and maybe not a track toy. Is fair enoug. However, (Im making the assumption the prospective new owner is new to kit cars) Things like "full weather gear, leather seats, cosy interior"... That does not happens to define a kit car as a tourer. Is down to the setup, and how well will handle a b-road over the amenities that the op expects to give him a more liveable daily usage. I would really encourage you to go and see/try some cars before commiting to a shopping list... This cars are different to say the least. Some examples: "full weather gear" You will find out that the full roof of a westfield is not particularly great, and when it rains enough to actually be of any use, you should not be with the car on the road. A bikini top, however, is far more manageable, will protect you from the average british weather just as good, and goes up and down easily. Many owners find themselves using exclusively the bikini top over the full weather gear. Leather seats: I really encourage you to try before you deciede again. I find the Average kit car "leather (actually normally vinyl) seat" in any of their variants, to be several shades of rubbish. It pretty much deppends of your size, butt and back sensitivity and preferred driving position... but 9 out of 10 times, a DECENT fiberglass shell with some padding is far better than the kit car posh seats. And when I say decent, I mean JK-composites or Tillet or so... not precisely kitcardirect. 4 point or inertia belts: For your own safety, you want propper harnesses, no matter how tourer the intention is. Confortable classy interior: That is up to taste... again... no matter how carpeted and classi she is, it would be just a different shade of unconfortable, and indeed... is not a bentley (what do I know about it... 🤣) but interior is one of the easily sortable things in this cars... so dont discard one with a dated or more sporty interior (some carbon or aluminium instead of vinyl or carpet)... as again, overall setup and (As you well have said) overall package will be far more important. All of this... basically to encourage you to try a few and go and rethink the wish list. (or not!!). Good luck anyway!

Red baby! Of course!

Still a work in progress but here’s a couple of pictures

What a great record of your car and it’s outings , really enjoyed the videos 👍 Really glad you are enjoying it and taking the time to share with us Thank you

@Jackv4 - look for the tilting platform trailers, no need for the loading ramps makes life much easier !

Just put my westie up for sale, see my add in for sale As much as I love my current Westfield I really want to Seriously look at building a sport 250. But to make it happen, I would need to sell my current Westfield. I’m just going to see if my current car is of interest to any serious buyers first. So here are all the details on my current Westfield. **Electric blue,** **2016 WESTFIELD SEiW, 2.0L Zetec C/W Omex Throttle Bodies & Omex 600ECU,** **Registered: Oct 2016 (66 Plate)** **Current Mileage: 2,250 only** **BODY WORK** Electric blue gel coat, FW nose / classic rear c/w detachable rear arches Playskool MSA roll bar Full heated windscreen Full Westfield doors Westfield half hood Westfield rear arch stone chip carbon effect guards Rain / dust cover, its only a cheap version but does the job. **INTERIOR** Westfield sports seats (black with blue trim) Westfield heater kit Lowered Floor 4-Point Titon harnesses (blue) Quick release steering wheel Westfield black vinyl dash / branded dials / switch set Black carpet set USB socket on Dash **ENGINE AND DRIVE TRAIN** 2lt Zetec Black top with Omex throttle bodies & Tiger Racing ERA sump Omex 600 ECU Type 9 gearbox & Quaife Sierra 5-speed short throw gear lever. Ford 7.5” Diff – 3.64 ratio (Not LSD) Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2 black wheels c/w Toyo 205/50/15 R1R’s Westfield 4-1 Exhaust / CAT Westfield wide track adjustable front wishbones Protec Alloy Bodied Adjustable Shocks 2.4 Quick Rack Steering (rally design) Westfield branded “Hi-Spec” black brake callipers **OTHER DETAILS** I purchased the car aprox 2 years ago, It was built using new components with the exception of the Type 9 gearbox which was bought 2nd hand. It was built by a Westfield club member & IVA in 2016. The car starts / runs well and I’ve had no issues in the mileage completed so far. It has never been set up on a rolling road, but would benefit from a dyno tune. It is set up for road use. It has never been used on a track. There are some small hair/line cracks in the gel coat around the cycle wing mounting bolts, general wear and tear for the year. The car has never been driven in the wet and has been kept in a garage at all times. I’m a fully qualified mechanical engineer and have been in the industry for over 40 years. Recent service, oil & filter & plugs. MOT is next due 05/11/19 I have every single document from day one of the build, with photos. Every receipt in a folder which now comes to almost £17,000 in total. As I said at the start, I’m in no rush to sell my car, I’m just seeing if there are any genuine buyers out there looking, for a None Q plate, Genuine Westfield. £15,999 OVNO

Not exactly a Westfield now though as the chassis has been widened by a few inches. Let's not open a can of worms for the factory again though Great build and I'm sure it will do well in time attack.

Hi Jack it was a private sale and came with a winch and wheel chocks

See there I go, talking utter sh.... yet again 🤣

Same here. Paid £1200 for mines. Was only 600 miles and 1 year old. I was lucky there.

Those bike v8s sound rather sweet though!

It seems that the general consensus on here, the messenger and WhatsApp groups is not to go ahead with the meetings at the moment. I'm sure we'll be able to get back together sooner or later. So for the time being, the Yorkshire meetings are suspended.

Have I seen that this is 1000hp

There you go, recommendations and myth busting all sorted 👍

Yep. Trailer one wheeler... just fine. I did explain my experiences somewhere... but cant find the post now

There’s some information in this post 👍🏼
