Yeah, very true. I’ve driven the car both before and after the box was swapped; it was always a beautifully balanced Westfield, but while the MTC75 it had before was OK, the Tracsport box really transformed the driving experience for the better. Brilliant car for someone, and like @Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO said, many happy moments have been spent exploring the twisty roads with @Greenstreak-Andy D at the helm, both in this country and in Europe, where it performed superbly. Really hope it stays in the Club, but whoever gets it will get a bargain and an absolute cracker of a car.

Hi Folks! Hope all are well. I posted on the Facebook group earlier, but it got removed as sales are not allowed (naughty ex-Chairman😁) however, I was not selling, I was looking to give away in exchange for a donation to the WSCC charity - hey ho... My intent to post here is now the only place you'll see this, so please do spread the word. I have had a shed clear-out and as a result have a box of Westfield bits including: MT75 clutch cables MT75 clutch bearing Walker St. Clair cover WSCC Roll bar flag OPM Steering wheel HT leads Rubber trim/edging Aero Dynamix beanie Oil filter Brake pads SAE 90 oils Crank sensor Brake lines Keyrings ETC... Most are mine, but I suspect a few bits are long-forgotten items from Autojumbles of years past. If anyone wants anything specific, I'd be happy to separate from the job lot, however, I'm more interested in shifting the whole lot to someone or to an area, or to put it up for sale at the next Autojumble. I'd want to see evidence of a generous donation to the WSCC charity in exchange, and they'll need collecting (or I can deliver locally to EN5 3EA). Thanks very much!

That’s a great price for a Duratec on itb’s that has 210bhp and a Tracsport (proper) gearbox. Won’t hang around for long.

…and steering wheel please

My75 thrust bearing and at clair cover please. Pm me costs to Doncaster. Cheers

Hi Jason, actually yes it is! Interested?

I am gutted to have to sell - took me ages to get enough credits together and then find the right one. Thanks for the positive comments, thank you to Andy for tips about the car last year and to Toybox for help with the Cat exhaust.

It may have a lot of power but you’d loose it at every corner 🏎️

Steve, Your not far away so come to Gurston hill climb next weekend, there will be a variety of Westfields there and also the MSA scrutineers who are very helpful. Dave

Yes definitely. I'm in Dorset and have already had a look through on here and seen there is a Dorset monthly meet so will definitely go along as soon as I can!

Haha plenty of expletives prepared and ready to deploy. And I don't have to worry about the missus, seeing as I'm the one with the car and the husband is the one that's got to put up with it / me 😉 😄 Thankfully he's happy to do so (and is building me a car port currently to store it haha)

Yes you can still enter as road going if you have a full cage, it's just extra safety and as to your harnesses it would be to big a job to get the extra bosses welded into the chassis box section.

Say hey, good lookin' - what ya got cookin'? Well it might be a Westfield and not a hot rod FORD but it sounds good. (Younger generation please google Hank Williams).Vicki @Steve Bosworth. We met at Quacker's cafe, it was freeeeezing and a bit cloudy but we were all glad to be out on a dry forecast. Car park. Jake, our photographer for the day, was taking some snazzy shots too. Inside Quacker's Cafe, nice and warm despite me suggesting we sit outside and Glen suggesting we didn't 😆 It's not the first time today we were all thanking Glen. Next we went on the run out, a route devised by Glen and what a cracker it was, thank you for the second time today, Glen 😍. A slight delay to the set off as Glynn had to change his shoes (not the stilleto's, that's this evening's club😮). Paul and Margaret were coming on the run and then disappearing early to get ready for a few months in Europe in the van, see you in June! We were booked in for lunch at The Bike and Boot, Hope Valley. A new build hotel for activity breaks and very welcoming to car clubs. Bike and Boot car park The menu is amazing, Glen had paella, not our usual kind of food Inside Bike and Boot We needed dessert after that so off we went to The Pavillion at Baslow and were greeted by the usual selection of sicklyness We sat outside and enjoyed our cakes in the warm sunshine We sit overlooking our beautiful cars. A man with a massive camera came over and asked if we raced them, we replied, 'No officer' 😁 The Pavillion Cafe overlooking the sports field and car park A brilliant day out, a good laugh, surprisingly quiet roads and establishments. Thanks for keeping the convoy together with all your excellent driving, it makes my life easier. Thank you to Glynn for guarding the rear of the convoy, also giving me peace of mind that everyone is looked after. See you all next time.

A lunch stop at The Long Itch Diner. The trike came along and parked next to us. It's powered by a 4.2 litre Audi V8!!!!!!

F in idiot in a battery car

Cooling down after a great morning run to The Danery, Quatford with Mrs G first thing, then another run out locally with Mini G afterwards. Great day for it, but didn't see much else of interest on the roads.

One tyre related note; if you’re not used to cars as comparatively light weight as Westfields, it’s easy to get caught out on the tyre pressures. Typically, most owners end up running somewhere around 18psi, sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less - they’re quite sensitive to it, especially on track. 18 is a good starting point while getting used to the car though. Using the quick fit tyre fitters default of around 32 psi will feel horrible, like you’re on ice, and may even have you sliding around

Tyres that old are almost 100% definitely not safe, so good move getting decent tyres first. Find solid jacking points even if you don't need them just yet, it pays to know how to get it up in the air without damaging anything underneath. I have a rear diffuser for example, makes it a bit of a pain when it comes to jacking it up tbh. Put it in for its next MOT as far ahead of the renewal date as you are allowed, gives you time to sort anything unexpected that may be a fail or just iffy advisories and make any improvements (being as it's a new car to you) When driving always assume other road users can't see you. It's amazing how many times that becomes truth! You would think a bright orange car coming at you like an exocet with its lights on would be visible, but apparently not to everyone 😂 Stay safe and welcome to the WSCC 👍

Love the vid - just makes me hate having to move the car on even more 🙁
