I clocked 30k today in my Westy 😎 Still not looking too shabby 😅

Meeting at a sunny McDonalds were 8 Westfield's, 2 of which were on their first run of the year and I am pleased to report that the day went without mishap, what wonderfully reliable sports cars we have. Refreshments in McD's to start the day off In McD's car park The Sorner's are coming out of hibernation, yeeeeaaaasss Andy and Becky, what a lovely surprise after I was told you couldn't come. Bottoms up Rob The Cover Girls, good things happen when we get together! We weren't in a rush to get anywhere today so we had lingered at McD's giving everyone time to have a good chat about their cars, it's a good job we did as we had a late comer. It was lovely to see Alex back out after a 6 month lie in, he turned up bang on 11am but denied that he thought the clocks had gone forward this weekend, yeah right. With dry roads, the sun shining and higher temperatures than we are used to, I decided we could get the 'Square Route of Buxton' done and if we push on a bit we could get down to Hulme End where there would be no Mother's Day busyness. As soon as we left Buxton we were getting ROAD CLOSED signs, saying it was at the railway bridge. I don't know the roads that well but I know that we don't go under a bridge, because when we do my ears tell me and the clutch has to go down for a little engine rev, so we soldiered on. The 'closed' road was amazingly quiet and the closed section was 10 miles away just after where we turn off, great stuff! After a great drive we arrived at Hulme End for lunch, here we are. We had the essential sugary stuff, blimey we needed it, my arms knew about all those bends, the cycling and swimming I do is all worth it, I don't have the muscles that you guys have. My cake had been nibbled at though hadn't it Glen? the jammy bit as well, it was fresh and homemade, yummy. I have missed coming to this cafe. We have an Andy with us and he didn't disappoint, tucking into cake without competition from @AndrewBClarke and @Andy Westwood Parked at Humle End Another joyous day out with the Westfield Sports Car Club, fantastic, what great people you all are. Thank you for coming everyone, I hope you have enjoyed it too x

Cracking afternoon for a cheeky blat around the Cotswolds. Back home in time to cook the Mother’s Day Sunday roast

Factory tour at Westfield-Chesil “Out of my comfort zone in front of the camera today with 7Spot.” says Simone General manager of the Westfield-Chesil. Hope you all enjoy the factory tour Part 1 of a 2 part tour drops today!

Worth a watch, looks like great progress 👍

Down to the beach at Llanddona on Anglesey for a sandwich, couldn’t find a pub with a table free for Mothers Day, in the dog house now🫢

Thank you to Becky for taking these cracking photo's on the move. Your generosity has been missed also.

Looks like a great day everyone. Hopefully back on the road in April. Fingers crossed for good weather on the 2nd April and that @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative has a run planned.

I'm selling my Westfield after fifteen years of ownership and having finished a major rebuild. Full details on Pistonheads: https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/14747890 Or AutoTrader: https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202304186410940?atmobcid=soc5

Hi all, potential new member here, looking to purchase my first Westy with a couple of friends as our first foray into a track car that’s also road legal for a weekend trip out. We’re all based around Preston, so looking to meet up with some like minded Westy fans to fine tune our requirements and pick up some useful advice. Research is suggesting a zetec power unit, the rest is up for discussion. Will be reading up on FAQs and soaking up all your useful info on here. Cheers.

Well after a spur of the moment decision 🙄 a last minute road tax and road test in the rain and dark on Saturday , Sunday morning saw us at McDonald’s for 10:20 , and wow we start the Westfield year again !!! Thanks to @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative and Glen for leading us through the Peaks on another mystery tour ( there all mystery tours for us 🤣) it was a successful first run out as nothing fell off or leaked out , Becky kept thinking there were strange noises coming from the back of the car!! but I told her it was @Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman supercharger whistling at us , here’s to another great year of being out with friends in our wonderful cars .Take care and see you soon Andy & Becky

A great day as always, even if the Cheshire side of the Cat and Fiddle Buxton road was a bit wet first thing! Some decent sun about later on, and nice and quiet on the side roads. Many thanks for organising, Julie!

An early start this morning, arriving at the services to fond I was (cue a Welsh accent!) "the only Westfield in the village"! I consulted our chat group and realised everyone had decided to have a lie in! I headed north for the secondary meeting spot at Duffield to find Steve and Tim waiting. After a chat with local guy in his series 1 Elise, we headed to Matlock up our normal B road route which was fairly traffic free so progress was brisk 😎 What a great turnout!

Good meet today and a lovely Sunny morning, 8 folks and one blatt bear attended , on his maiden voyage , only 3 westies though, our drunken leader was sorely missed 😅

Sorry about this, but after surviving a surprise 60th birthday party last night, I don't think I'm in a fit state to drive the Westfield this morning 🍺, so I won't be able to make the meeting. Carry on without me and I'll see you all later. Robin.

Received this update by email from Westfield-Chesil yesterday: Westfield Chesil Ltd is delighted to be able to update you on restarting production of the Westfield range of sports cars, as well as the opening of the parts shop!

The first sends you all the bits you will need to get your donor components into a Westfield. The second is everything else you will need to be ready for the road.

Westfield XI Kits Since buying the business we have had a lot of input from the XI chapter of the Westfield Sports Car Club.

We are happy to announce that Toybox Specialist Cars have joined the club as Traders! Almost all of us are familiar with Toybox, who have been selling Westfields for many years now, but that's not all that they're about. They have an announcement to make on that front, which you'll see in here soon. In the meantime, please join us in welcoming Toybox into the WSCC fold!

Great day again, cheers Julie/Glen! (Even if you did lie to us about the double digit temps!😂)

Absolutely, great to see things steadily coming together.

I was hoping to take a run out from Surrey, but I’ve been double-booked🙄, so next time hopefully.

Hi Ben I can so far confirm that; Barry O'Grady Dean Savill Rob Bannister Will be attending. I'm going to remind the rest of the Essex & North Kent group and see who else is attending. I'll let you know if the numbers change. See you next Sunday.

See you there!

Nothing like firing up the westy after it’s been hidden in the garage for a few years!! Just a damp vdo speedometer i think (digits all flashing and corrupted so it’s in the airing cupboard) and was firing on 3 until I unplugged and plugged in all the spark plug leads. Does any one else have a Zetec 1800 where sparks 3,4,5 are all flat with the head and properly seated but spark 1 just doesn’t seem to click and seat flat like the others? Same with 2 HT leads. Odd… Next step MOT…

Hi it was the top mount broken. I have now had it repaired. it was rebuilt & machined. hopefully the pictures will show the step
