Was a really ‘WOW’ kinda day. Brilliant roads, scenery and most importantly, company. Oh, and Ali says hi to Glen 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Thank you to you @Big Andy and the others that have posted all their great photo's, I love looking at everyone else's pics, it's all part of the day out for me THANK YOU

Yep, we’re ready for @Mark19691

Looks like a brilliant run, I'm well jealous. Hopefully if the forecast is to be believed, there is some good weather up here next week to get out a run 🤞

Had a quick trip down to Classic Collective's usual monthly meet in Bicester this morning (just round the corner from Westfield), and a fellow XI owner @Jeremy Higson was also there. It's the first time outside of the National Show that I've ever seen two XIs in the same place.

Hi All. We are booked to go to the NEC Classic Car Show on saturday 9th and would be great to see many more of you westie/sevens owners there. We currently have around 10 going from East Anglia Area so far by car and even coach for us oldies. Its a great show with plenty to see and dream about. Be great to see you. Bellyboy

Hello from Colorado, USA. I'm a petrolhead of the worst kind and have long been on the hunt for a kit car of sorts to build and drive. The demands of work and family make a Cobra or Exocet build unrealistic at this time, so this nearly finished Westfield for sale locally has piqued my interest: 2001 Westfield SEIW (wide) factory assembled LHD car. Rebuilt Ford Zetec 1800 fi engine and new Ford MT75 5 speed manual transmission. 0 miles on the car with clean TN title (as a 1964 Lotus Super). The car needs final assembly of all intake and exhaust components and replacing clutch slave cylinder due to leaking cylinder seal. I purchased this from the original owner who couldn’t complete it due to health reasons. I planed on completing my dream car but due to my move to AZ. I’m out of state now and no place to work on it. It is time to let someone else complete this. Everything is there to complete this project including all fuel injection and exhaust parts. Top with side curtains included (good condition). The Westfield has the locking boot (luggage compartment). The seats are still soft and supple and in good condition, even the tires are new, but out of date. VDO gauges with odo reading zero. Weather is quickly changing in Colorado so time is getting short to buy this for a winter project. This Westfield was over $30k new from factory. Includes modules one, two and three from Westfield Sports Cars UK. The asking price is $18K. A few things I'd like your thoughts on: 1) General thoughts on this vehicle? It's 23 years old but has never been driven. The asking price is $18K, or about £14K. The Lotus 7 variant market in the USA is a tiny fraction of what it is in the UK, so there are very few comps for such a car. 2) I'm a tall guy: 6'4" and relatively svelte at ~210lbs. I do not fit in a standard-width Caterham, but I do fit in the wide SV. I'd appreciate thoughts on fit from those of you who share my need to do yoga getting in and out of these kind of vehicles. 3) "The car needs final assembly of all intake and exhaust components and replacing clutch slave cylinder due to leaking cylinder seal." I'd love your guess at the level of effort required based on this description and images. It looks like the clamshell wings aren't fixed. I'd want to switch to cycle-style wings/fenders anyway, as I much prefer that look. 4) What are the standard wheel dimensions? These wheels are very 2001; I'd prefer something different. 5) What color is this? Is this a standard Westfield color option or something custom? I appreciate your input and look forward to it!

Hopefully you should have a new person and potential new member coming along. Mark is a friend of a Derby member and lives in Sandbach, I've been chatting to him as he's on the hunt for a Westfield so will be after some advice 👍

The forecast is for 2 weeks of good weather so hopefully you get out and we get to see some really proper good viewson your photo's. @ianali Glen says Hi! I see Ali DID manage to get that train on her photo, she thought she had missed it. I have tried to turn it the right way up but that is beyond my capabilities too🙄 Ali's photo of the train

I think you will feel tall sitting in it, ideally you need to go and try it. I'm assuming it doesn't have lowered floors. I'm 6'3" and have the taller MSA roll bar and tall windscreen for mine to provide more visibility and headroom. Wheels are typically 13" or 15" diameter, 7" width. 15" has more tyre options available. If you swap to cycle wings, there will be holes in the sides of the bodywork from the swept wing mounting bolts, which on a ZK body like this, is a single large body shell. Some get around this by fitting flared side panels instead. @Davemk1 might be able to comment on the specifics of Westfield ownership in the USA Edit: @Captain Colonial beat me to it. I agree with his comments on price, given that it's not in running order

IMO, rather strong money for an incomplete 23 year-old car, especially as there’s no guarantee it will run and drive correctly. Not going to say a price, but you could get a very nice fully built car of that age and spec for £8k upwards depending on condition over here. You may well need to retrofit lower floor panels to reduce buffeting and keep your eyeline behind the windscreen. Not an awful job but labour intensive and a car hoist / pit required in practical terms. If you have big feet, driving shoes would be helpful. Fitting intake and exhaust components relatively straight forward if you know how to use a socket set. As @Stuart has indicated, the slave cylinder could easily be an engine & gearbox out job. If you’re comfortable doing that (and luckily there’s lots of room to get it out), fine. 13” or 15” are the most common sizes depending on your preferences and how you like to drive the car. I would also urge you not to take the seller’s word for it and check with Colorado DMV regarding the registration process. There may be some difficult hoops to jump through.

@Mark19691 the next Cheshire meet has been published here- hope to see you there and I will likely be in my Westfield weather permitting.

A good day indeed- Peaks were slightly misty in places at the start NWKCOG Friends Tony and Caroline in their great Red Mev Rocket, trying out the WSCC Thanks for arranging @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative and for great company from everyone else too.

It was another brill day with brilliant people I will upload my pics tomorrow hopefully if they have turned out

7 Westfield's and a MEV met at a very sunny cafe in the Peak District After refreshments and a bit of a catch up we all set off up the Winnat's Pass onto the high ground to soak in those stunning views of the Autumn colours of the Peak District, WOW. The convoy ran really well with Dave behind me in communication with Ian at the back. We flowed nicely and arrived at The Rambler Inn, Edale in a timely fashion. We filled the empty car park. The MEV belonging to Anthony and Caroline was very eye-catching The view from the pub was stunning too You know what happens after lunch, we go cake hunting, it was successful!! Missing @Andy Westwood at this point The guilty party all had cake, even Ian and Ali. The Cow Shed, Tideswell. We finished off by wriggling over to the A515 and all splitting up from there, a fantastic day to be driving our cars. Thank you to Becky for being Chief Motion Photographer and thank you to everyone for your wonderful company x

If I was a dog that found a talking duck, I might have attacked it as well.

Been tinkering with car today. Had a little dash for a picture

I’m there all bl**** weekend!
