Nice little country road blast in the sunshine.

Some of us got to monyash early enough to park and get breakfast! 😜 although I did feel a little lonely with the bikers when you drove past😂

In good company at Goodwood 100 Breakfast Club this morning. Great turnout and varied selection of cars and bikes.

I bet you had a great time -

Perfect weather for a Peaks run today! 9am just south of Derby with Ben, Dan, Lee, James, Paul and myself. Tim joined us as we were setting off. A quick stop north of Derby to collect new member Mark and we headed for the wide open spaces of Derbyshire! A good hours worth of fun B road blatting before landing at Monyash to find it rammed full of bikes! Having spent so many days out with @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative , the internal satnav kicked in and I diverted the long way round to the Bull 'i Thorn where Glynn joined us maming whooshing noises.... hopefully it's just his new turbo 😂 The Bull 'I Thorn used to be a regular haunt of ours but we hadn't been back since its reopening. Glad we did as the breakfasts were lovely and could sit out in the sunshine to stuff our faces! When everyone was suitably refreshed, the gang started to head their seperate ways so I took the opportunity to give Mark a sample of 9,000rpm with a quick passemger ride. Having come from bikes and owned some fast Porsches, Mark is already thinking about upgrades to his ITB'd Zetec 😂 Mark also fancied stretching the legs of his car a little now he was getting used to it, so the two of us had a more spirited little convoy on the way home until he peeled off near Derby. Cracking day out, hope you all had a laugh and got home safely 👍

Stuart, yes I bought it off Mark. It does have some nice fancy bits on the car and I've added to it too. One of the 'things' I've done is, I put a light weight flywheel, on it over the winter break, new 4 paddle clutch plate and that's made a fantastic difference. It wasn't cheap either, so the placebo effect is definitely telling me it's made a fantastic difference. 😁

Dry run is now complete, route is awesome, minor tweaks required for fuel stops, a couple more pictures below to wet your appetite’s 😎 fingers crossed road book available for distribution by Malvern show to any tourers attending Malvern, otherwise the road book can be posted out or handed out at the start point on tour day 1 👍

I’ve just completed 40k in mine!!

There is a V8 Westie group on FB-https://www.facebook.com/groups/429934755136505 Though as @AndrewBClarke and @Quinten will admit, the club is inclusve to all members including those was larger numbers of cylinders than others. Brakes/bodywork/suspension/steering etc is common across the Seiw range. I do like hearing @AndrewBClarke car start as well as following him round the peaks, you can't beat a V8 sound track.

A fantastic day at sunny hunny with me, bigfoot aka tony and his wife. We spent the day there and are very sun burnt. Met loads of people who took pictures of our cars plus a traffic warden. Sadly not a big turnout but we put westfields in peoples minds.

Sorted. Just need to change the oil filter and fill him up and we are good. It was an almost perfect fit, just had to adjust a couple of the brackets. EDIT Just found the invoice for the original and it was 23 years old, so hadn’t done badly at all!

Hello just re joined as I near the end of my seight project restoration, 1999 car with just 21k kms on it (I guess no one liked the fuel bills:)) So big Q? Is there a Seight register? and /or how and where could I find out how many were made? I only know of 2 here in Australia but am happy to be put right.....

If they're anything like your 20's, I'll pass. Bank of Ingland? Really?... 😄

Rob, I would do, but I've got my son here this weekend and I've promised that he can go swimming tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up though. 👍🏻

Matlock Bath was also very busy with motorbikes @Rob Hunter - Club Secretary We had a much needed lazy day at New Bath Hotel and took the back route home to miss the massive queue of traffic Glad you had a good morning out, what a great attendance! have a good day tomorrow x

Yes, agreed. There are some aspects which need tweaking. Given your comments I'll spend a bit more time working on what the results were within our current rules as there is some possibility to score in a different way when Competitors are split. Then circulate to SSOT, and Competitors if required. Given that we are running a different system this year, towards the end of the year, I'll be sending round a Questionnaire to ask if Competitors views and what to do for 2025.

For my 10 pence worth I think the scoring system still needs to be fine tuned, on my entry for Gurston I entered Class 11 - Modified Cars - Specialist Production Cars any capacity and both Mark Claxton & Mark Bishop entered Class 4d - Road Cars - Specialist Production any capacity, it seems a bit unfair that I took points away from both Mark's who were on road tyres while I am running on slicks.

Your bikers round stoke way must be a different breed!😉 (Can’t beat a bit of police academy though!)

Ah man, I kind wish I lived a bit further north! The Peaks is just a bit too far for a sensible morning out for me.

I’ll look into it. Apologies for not responding sooner, but I only just noticed that I was tagged!

Hi Guys, I have until the end of May to confirm number of cars attending before the show organisers assign areas to each club. I am hopeful 🙏 to get more before we commit but very happy to have the 6 confirmed and poss 2 others. I have requested space for 6 plus gazebo, so hopefully we get a good spot again. if any of the new guys in our "East of England" group can make it? or maybe from Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire area's??? It is a great day out with a massive variety of cars, clubs, entertainment, stalls etc. and cheap. If you would like to come along, please copy and paste the list to a new post below and add your name. 1/ Jason 2/ Martin Bell 3/ Barry 4/ Tony (Bigfoot 5/ Tim Lessore 6/ si_salisbury (doesn't want to make his own sandwiches) 7/ Andrew Clarke (possible) 8/ Gary D.

3,000 miles 🤯 it ain’t even run in yet so keep to 3,000 revs - 🤩🙏👍

Nice to hear of one with such high mileage. Mine was one of the first built (1993) and I’m still only on about 3000 miles!

Have fun all!

Good morning from a fellow Seight owner. With regards to a formal register, I don’t think so. The only one that I know of is unofficial and incomplete and can be found on this site which includes all Westfields. In an article in the club magazine a few years ago, there were details of the models made and quantities sold. From memory there were about 540 Seights and production stopped in 2009. There may well be other cars that have had engine transplants. Sorry doesn’t really answer your question or give accurate details but best I can do. Looks like a lovely car. They are fantastic and real head turners. Mine is one of the last to be made - 2009 - pre registered with a Rover 3.5 V8.

Results after Gurston

May the 4th be with you.

Hi Julie, I would like to attend, won't be in westy, if that's OK.tony

Dry run this weekend in the tintop to make any updates necessary to the road book, I had forgotten just how good this route is! you guys participating are going to really enjoy it, the scenery is stunning but I did struggle today with pictures 😅 a few better ones 😎

I actually quite like the MNR front end too. Bit of an acquired taste but it stands out from the crowd.

Sorry Julie me and my father are going to Lincolnshire aviation centre for the beginning of year open day. If the weathers good hoping to take the tiger.

Fuel pump/carb set up problems now.

Between my second and third westfield I went for a week without one, the garage was empty….. it was a horrible week 🥲
