Definaltely not Spax... The sticker is, (assuming they have not come from an ebay seller we turn a blind eye to.) but dampers are not Spax. They look like AVO or GAZ to me. Theres a lot of detail differences such as the knob, and top loop design which stand out as being AVO or GAZ. My bet would be GAZ.

My dream spec for mine right there! 😍

I live about 4 miles from Roydon!

Maybe try and find a used belt drive compressor? I found a nice Abac 150 litre 3hp belt drive beast for under £150. Had it for 8 years now and it’s great. like this one smaller than mine, but great value. And remember, size matters!

Very true, fortunately that was just a Google example, we did actually go through the tunnel at suitably hi revs 🤣. Lorna screamed 🤣

Through my 15 or so years being in and around the WSCC Speed Series, I have never known much of what happened 'before my time'. Because of this thought, I decided to compile a list of all the WSCC Speed Series Champions from 1998 to today. I have included information and photos of the winning car in the season that it won. All info is from the Westfield World Magazines which are available to download and view, or from general paddock talk over the last decade. 1998 - Nick Lear Unfortunately, I was unable to find much information on Nick Lear's 1998 season, beyond him competing in the then Class A with a Crossflow powered car. 1999 - David Jones Similarly to Nick Lear, there is only limited information that I was able to find. David Jones competed in Class A with a Crossflow powered car. 2000 - Lindsay Pointon Competing in Class B in his Vauxhall C20XE (Redtop) powered car, Lindsay was the first of many C20XE powered champions. 2001 - Garry Bunn The well known now ex-Derby Notts AO, Garry piloted his Crossflow powered car to the championship in class A. Unfortunately I was unable to find a photo of this car, but he went on to compete in an amazing Cosworth powered car. 2002 - Adrian Clinton-Watkins Even when he was still young, Adrian Clinton-Watkins; the man behind GGR Communications and forum admin, was blisteringly quick in a Westfield. For his first championship, he competed in a Class B with a C20XE powered Car. 2003 - Tom Green The man responsible for the WSCC Speed Series, without which many friendships would not have been formed. Powering along in the famous Westfield 'Flymo' GT with a John Eales Rover V8, Tom was able to win the championship in Class H. 2004 - Tim Pennington Tim brought the championship back down to earth by winning overall in his Crossflow powered car that was still very modest (especially compared to the Flymo) in Class A. 2005 - Guy Hussey Probably one of the most interesting seasons in Speed Series history. Guy drove his Dad's Vauxhall X16XE powered Raw Striker to the overall championship in Class A, before the guest classes were introduced to the Speed Series. 2006 - Mark Smith The first SBD car to win the Speed Series. An extremely well tuned C20XE by SBD was the powerplant that helped Mark Smith win in Class H. 2007 - Andy Rushworth The first bike powered car to win the championship. A CBR1100xx Blackbird engine in a road-going Westfield. This chassis has gone on to win 4 Speed Series Championships (as of 2022), the most of any single chassis so far. 2008 - Andy Rushworth The first person to win the championship twice, and back to back non the less. 2009 - Richard Kerr This northern speedster drove his C20XE powered Westfield to the overall Championship in Class D. 2010 - Phil Newall 2010 saw the first of the Fireblade powered Westfields come to win. Phil Newall's example being one of the lightest cars ever built, with a modern 1-litre bike engine in the then Class G. 2011 - Stuart Hill The first Toyota powered Westfields to win the championship the 4AGE a great engine to get him the win in Class C. 2012 - Adrian Clinton-Watkins Now with a Duratec in his Westfield, Adrian came with a mission, and won the overall championship in Class F. 2013 - Barry Slingsby A return for the C20XE powered overall champions in Class D, and a second of the 'Team GGR' coloured cars to win overall. 2014 - Adrian Clinton-Watkins Adrian now sets the record for the most wins by a single person, with 3. This season, Adrian came to the championship with a very special engine, a de-stroked 1800cc Duratec which would place him in Class E. Interestingly, after the car had a large off at Loton Park, the engine and gearbox were transferred to Barry Slingsby's chassis to finish off the season at Ty Croes, Anglesey. 2015 - John Hoyle The first win for John Hoyle, an incredibly quick Yorkshireman with a C20XE powered car in Class D. 2016 - John Loudon The throaty roar of the 1700cc Ford Puma powered Westfield of John Loudon won the championship in Class E. 2017 - John Hoyle John Hoyle took back his title from John Loudon, this time, competing in Class F. 2018 - Howard Gaskin Another Championship for the trusty old C20XE, this time back in Class D. Going into the final day of the final event of the season, 3 people were still within a chance of winning. Howard Gaskin, Terry Everall and John Loudon. In the end, a points difference the equivalent of 0.07 seconds split Howard and John. 2019 - John Hoyle John Hoyle comes back swinging in Class F, as he equals Adrian Clinton-Watkins record of 3 championships won. 2020 - None Due to COVID-19, the 2020 season was cancelled. 2021 - Terry Everall After competing for approximately 20 years, Terry had finally won the Speed Series. A comeback for the Honda Fireblade CBR1000rr which had always been a very competitive engine since it's first appearance in a Westfield. Also a third championship for the chassis, as Andy Rushworth had won his championships in this chassis back in 2007/8 2022 - Terry Everall Just like busses, ey. With the 2022 championship won, the chassis has the unique distinction of being the only chassis to win 4 championships, with 2 back to back victories, over a decade apart. 2023 - Adam Phelps The 2023 season once again came down to the last event weekend to be decided, this time Adam Phelps just edged out Adrian Clinton-Watkins by less than 1 point. The Phelps family car powered by a 1440cc Suzuki Hayabusa, piloted by Adam, his sister Charlotte, and father John. Adam consistently put on great displays of his talent, often beating specialist single seat race cars. A worthy champion! And with that, the list is complete as of now. If there is any more information that people want to add or correct, let me know, and if there are any period images of the cars that don't have ones, please send me them via a message so that I can add them.

Have fun chaps 👍

If you fancy something a bit different... I have what i believe to be a genuine Hawker Hunter rear view mirror. It was NOS - a mate of mine bought a few containers of spares the RAF had left some years back and I blagged this off him. I wanted an ejection seat but they were too spendy. He still has the ex-Credenhill gate guardian, Hunter XG252 It is 18cm x 5cm overall with a 15mm ball mount on the back. It is a convex mirror. The mount bolts in so could be changed. I'm sure I could design and print a suitable bracket for it to fit a cage if needed. Surface is perfect, it was a bit grubby when I took this.

Additional under bonnet photos added per the suggestion.

I agree with the bigger tank suggestion. Also pay attention to hose length and diameter. Once hoses get "long" (20m or more) the maths changes for air delivery/pressure and you may find the tank is empty more than it's full with the motor possibly struggling to keep up. Another suggestion (sorry) is see if you can find an upright tank. I did and I am still delighted by it's small footprint in the shed. https://www.toolstation.com/sip-06243-oil-free-50l-2hp-compressor/p37988?utm_source=googleshopping&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=googleshoppingfeed&mkwid=_dc&pcrid=&pkw=&pmt=&gclid=CjwKCAiA85efBhBbEiwAD7oLQNHj18wINr5lbajRvprPXPWUKY0gDttbz8NbDgrMxf4i0seXSas-wBoCyOIQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Have you decided what you want to do with the compressor? If it’s just for simple stuff like inflating tyres, blowing air (for dust removal etc) and stuff like air-riveters, then a smaller tank will be fine. if you intend to do stuff like spraying, using air tools, etc, then you’ll need a bigger tank. I survived without a compressor in my garage for many years, but then spotted a ‘clearance’ Clarke 50/24 (the very quiet ones). It has been a revelation for general garage duties (especially riveting - who knew it could be so easy with an air riveter?). The fact that it’s so quiet is a huge bonus, it’s not much noisier than an old fridge - I can happily work at the bench it sits under while it’s running. A ‘normal’ compressor would have been unacceptably loud - they really are conversation-killers and will annoy close neighbours. The key is to spec the compressor for the tasks you intend to use it for. Over-speccing is just wasting money

GT Air. Look at them. Great customer service. Burisch are a good brand and i have a complete set up that have made from there product's. Defiantly go belt and if you want to use it a lot then go bigger tank. You wont regret it. Martin

Ordered trolley jack which was dispatched according to SGS and never arrived. Chased SGS and courier, no joy. Eventually SGS said they would dispatch a second one, which again failed to arrive! Money eventually refunded. Trolley jack purchased elsewhere with prompt delivery.

Excellent work Stu but it's a rubbish route for a Westfield 'cos it misses the Beaminster Tunnel

Yes. If it turns up and it's perfect you'll be fine. If there's a problem with it they won't even reply to emails or answer the phone

Depends on the finish vinyl. Chromes vinyla do show through. But there are 3m products that would cover some imperfections.

From what I've seen on the car wrapping show featuring Yianni, the surface must be perfect before wrapping or any imperfection will show.

Some of you may recognise this car, it used to belong to another WSCC member. I've had it for almost 2½ years now but it only feels like months thanks to covid Mine is the orange one - the Flying Carrot. In the 1st 2 pics I have no idea who the other two yellow Westies belong to, they were already parked up when I got to the AV8 cafe at Cotswold Airport and fate left a space for me right next to them! Anyone recognise them please say hello! The 3rd pic was on a blat with a mate in his SDR V-Storm on the way to Sweets Tea Rooms near Glastonbury for a Sunday morning meet up and the last one was at Tintern in the Wye Valley Wales last year at a kitnet evening meeting.

Pull over and let the sevens pass! 😁

Thats a good idea Chris. Some wraps are pretty good nowadays and would hide spider lines and cracks pretty well.

Presumably you’d still need to do some kind of repair to the cracks to stop them showing through the wrap? Highly recommend ‘Wunderseal’ from CBS to protect the underside/inside of the arch to prevent further damage. A good thick stippled coat works wonders.

Hi not sure if this helps, but my son is a professional autobody repair and painter and his partner wraps cars for a living. The general advice they would give is wrapping is certainly cheaper than painting. However, wrap will pickup stone chips, marks etc easier than paint to some extent. You can touch paint up, but not wrap, without re-wrapping that panel. Assuming your car hasnt been painted already, the colour you see is a gelcoat, but can be easily paint matched by a good quality paint shop.

Not me I’m afraid🙁 work beckons again, have fun though👍
