(Both on runners) Built for the Ultimate Road and Track Experience The goal was simple: create a car that’s perfect for road trips—capable of being driven to the track, enjoyed all day, and then comfortably driven home. By focusing on weight reduction throughout the build, the car retains exceptional handling and delivers a superb driving experience. Countless hours of development and fine-tuning on the dyno have resulted in a car that’s incredibly fast yet remarkably smooth and easy to drive. It cruises effortlessly and responds with precision, a testament to the quality and attention to detail invested in the build—truly second to none. In 2019/20, the car underwent a full, chassis-up ‘nut and bolt’ rebuild. During this process, the chassis was heavily modified and reinforced, especially around the rear end and differential, to handle increased torque. Additional strengthening was applied to the front suspension area. Lowered steel floors were installed, and the entire chassis was shot-blasted and powder-coated in satin black—effectively making the car like new. The track width is approximately 160mm wider than a standard SEIW. The car has covered 14,500 miles since. chassis was registered in 2003. Registered on a Q plate, the car is exempt from emissions testing at MOT, meaning a cat is not required. This also provides greater flexibility for tuning the fuel and ignition system to achieve optimal performance. The car comes in 2 colours! The fibreglass is ford stealth grey (see pics) which is currently professionally wrapped in stunning Hexis ‘Wasabi green’ £25.5k Located in fife Scotland

Evening blast to Monsel head.

Cornwall, Devon & Somerset Area are just back from a pretty awesome trip over the weekend down to Land's End. We were fortunate to have superb weather throughout, which certainly contributed to towards making it such a successful event. Wanting to make a full day of the trip down there, I planned a meet at Ralegh's Cross on the edge of Exmoor. I met Matt at Ilminster Services for some fuel and then to head up together, Colin drove up the night before from Dawlish and Gareth and Linda drove across from Umberleigh, all meeting up at 8.30am to enjoy a hearty breakfast together. A super nice surprise was when new member Harry turned up in Marcus's old car, having only driven it for twenty minutes prior to Saturday! Quite a baptism of fire . Five cars then headed South, through Tiverton where we stopped for a quick top up of fuel for those that needed it, then stopping at Bickleigh Mill to meet Mark T in his lovely blade-engined orange 'weapon' so five became six. After a catchup and quick chat, we were on our way again, down to the outskirts of Exeter. The Devon County Show caused us some delay, but fortunately all the cars behaved in the hot weather and we were soon clear and on our way South West towards Moretonhampstead and Dartmoor. Some good roads on this route, which then became pretty narrow and windy as my route took us down to Widecombe in the Moor and a refreshment stop at The Rugglestone Inn, which has a beautiful beer garden. We were all still full from breakfast so just had drinks, nibbles and a chat. At this point I must make an apology to Pip Parsons, who was planning on meeting us in Princetown. I gave him an ETA, completely forgetting that we were stopping prior to meeting him so that by the time we got there he had other commitments; my apologies sir, I owe you a pint for next time. So, across Dartmoor and on to our bid for points in the Funny Place Name Challenge! Crapstone was our target, and we managed six cars, six owners (mostly in their cars apart from me taking the pic), so I have submitted a bold claim for 13 points! I do hope we will be suitably rewarded for our efforts by the esteemed judges. It was at this point that things went a little awry! Gareth indicated a need for a call of nature, and I said we would head into Crapstone to the Tea Room for a comfort break. I then proceeded straight out of town, leaving Gareth to attempt driving with his legs crossed! I soon made a bit of a navigational cock-up, leading us down some very dodgy, steep narrow roads ending in a down hill, very sharp hairpin bend named 'Death Corner' by Mark , followed by missing a turn over Denham Bridge resulting in a quick and embarassing three point turn for yours truly. Somewhere in this chaos, we lost Gareth and Linda, but super navigator Linda knew where we were heading so we continued on, crossing the Tamar via the small bridge and finally pulled up in the Asda services near Gunnislake to allow them to find us. United with six cars again briefly, we immediately said goodbye to Harry who had to head back to Salcombe at this point; great to meet you Harry and look forward to catching up again soon. Conscious of time, I thought it best we push on to Land's End without too much more phaffing around, so that's what we did. I lost my bottle regarding fuel at St Blazey, pulling into a Gulf station (Yay!) which only had E10 fuel (Boo!) which we reluctantly filled up with, Gareth almost choking at the thought. From there, it was a long slog down to Land's End, taking in St Austell, Truro, Helston and Penzance on the way. Alot of fairly slow or boring going, stuck behind slow traffic at times but we made it there by around 17.30, much better than I feared during planning stages! A short lunch break certainly helped. Expecting to be a little longer than the free 20 mins, we opted for a bargain £4.50 parking charge each to allow a bit more time for a comfort break, wander around and photo op at Land's End itself. We even chanced a line up infront of the main building which was great. We had had some thoughts about meeting up in St Ives for dinner, but with the time as it was, the B&B contingent (did I say older? ) headed off to their comfy beds, leaving the hardcore campers to head for the campsite alone. We opted for the coast road, rather than going via Penzance and boy am I glad we did. It was 20 miles, 45 minutes of heaven! Cracking roads, not much traffic and, er hmm, let's just say we had some fun! It was the best driving of the weekend for me. We (Matt, Mark and myself) stayed at the Trevalgan Farm Holidays site just West of St Ives, and it was a lovely, well kept and peaceful place (well it was until I started snoring that night, but that's for later!) We pitched tents, had a quick refresh and then Matt started negotiating with Taxi firms to get us into St Ives. A sterling job he did too, securing us one in around 10 minutes when it looked like over an hour at first due to the St Ives Food Festival which was on that weekend. We avoided the festival and just stuck around the harbour for a drink and very nice fish and chip supper before heading back to the tents. I must apologise to the guys for the aforementioned snoring. I blame the fact I have a cold and all the fresh air for making it worse than normal, but you can see from Mark's picture that his night was not a peaceful one! Up at 7am the following morning, we were greeted by a stunningly beautiful sunrise, very promising for the day ahead. We headed over to The Badger Inn, Lelant to meet the grown ups( ) and enjoyed a hearty breakfast, joined by Geoff Pym, a Cornish member I had managed to make contact with prior to the trip. He had agreed to lead us on a nice route for the first part of our return to avoid the A30 as much as possible. Despite some annoying traffic which slowed our progress, we had a fun run behind Geoff; I had fun chasing behind and hearing the lovely sounds from his 919cc Blade engine, but the group got a bit spread out, and we again lost tail end charlies Gareth & Linda who struggled at a junction with continuous traffic. We pulled into our agreed BP fuel stop, topped up, and soon after they again rejoined the group. Geoff left us at this point, and now fueled with some proper E5 we headed off up the A39 towards Bude, stopping at Widemouth Bay just before it. The views as we crested the hill overlooking the bay were spectacular, and we enjoyed them all the way down towards the sea. There was yet another 'Chuckle Brother's' moment when I missed the car park, led us a little way down the road to turn round, to be told the one I had been thinking of was actually further on, so I turned round again only to see poor Colin following me! We got sorted in the end and rolled into the dusty carpark in search of a well deserved ice cream and to enjoy a last chat together before heading off our separate ways. Colin, Gareth and Linda and Mark headed left, Matt and I right up to Blackmoor Gate and a nice pint of Thatchers Zero. The last leg was across Exmoor to Simonsbath, and back to our original meeting point at Ralegh's Cross, some good fun driving to be had here, although some of the time spent stuck behind very slow cars. Strangely I actually enjoyed following a camper van being driven with gusto at around 50mph, quite amusing to watch! From Ralegh's cross we were back to Taunton, then Illminster where I waved goodbye to Matt, and had a final blast home down the Chard road into Crewkerne which has some fun corners to it. For me, it was 404 miles in two days. The weather could not have been kinder, and really made it a memorable trip. It was great to meet old and new faces and to be able to drive with a good group who are excellent company. To them I say thank you for committing to the trip and to trusting my at times dodgy navigation, it was a blast, hopefully to be repeated in some guise or other in future. I will add pictures later this evening! EDIT A clarification has been requested by Mr and Mrs Homfray-Davies so their detachment from the group is not seen as them getting lost through any sort of incompetence on their part😊 In the first instance, after an acceptable and necessary emergency comfort break, they followed the correct route but sensibly chose not to follow us around Death Corner. Using their resourcefulness and calmness under pressure, they used Sat Nav to meet us in Gunnislake. The second instance is put down to obeying the Highway Code to allow a million grockles to pass, only to find that we had b*****red off by the time they got past the obstruction. Again, skilful navigating from Mrs Homfray-Davies allowed them to find us at our fuel stop. I trust that this clarification avoids any impact on their hitherto unblemished reputations 😉😊👍

Towel 😁

The 2025 trip to Dumfries was fab, blue skies, good roads and cold beer. The second YDG of the year will be in Wales in September, based in Llandrindod Wells and visiting Devil’s Bridge and the Elan Valley. Why not come along.

Hi @TJB22 and The car looks great! As another 2.1 Pinto owner, I would love to catch up with you and your car at the Malvern show.

Submit it and we’ll see, but I should warn you it may be used in evidence against you as well.

I thought that might tickle you @Craigieboy That is it's real name though! 😁 Question for @Captain Colonial, does a picture of the car at the Dick Mayo Sprint count towards your Westfield Funny Place Name Challenge? 😂

Welcome

Hopefully you can join us on the club stand at the National Kit Car Show in Malvern on 31st May-1st June to show off your new toy!

Will try but it is Spare Seat Pete’s birthday and also Father’s Day so I am not necessarily in control of arrangements for that day. I will drop you a note nearer the time. ABC.

Hi Folks, I'm due to drive from Shropshire up to Duns in Scotland to meet a friend up there and watch the Jim Clarke Rally go past his house this weekend. https://jimclarkrally.co.uk/ Ideally I'd like to take my Westfield but I'm a little nervous about my first big trip in it. You wouldn't believe I got back from a driving holiday in my campervan yesterday from Croatia and I'm now scared about popping to Scotland but here we are! I have a full hood and doors for my FW but I've yet to drive it in any rain. I did email soft bits for sevens asking about which type of half hood would suit my car and to better understand which type of roll bar I have but they've not replied to my email and the road trip to Croatia and other life got in the way so I didn't chase it up. The weather is now looking rainy on Saturday and Sunday when I'll be due to drive back so I'll need the full hood on and I'm slightly worried. Are full hoods as bad as everyone makes out? Does anyone have any tips about how to fit them or if I need to do anything to better weatherproof the switchgear or other parts of the car like the massive nostrils on the bonnet? The plan is to take the M6 from Shropshire/Midlands to Carlisle where I'll break off onto the wonderful (if memory serves) A7 to Duns for a hoot of a drive. I'm considering breaking up the journey with a hotel somewhere between Manchester and Carlisle so I'm fresh for the fun part of the drive on the A7. Does anyone have any recommendations for this? Possibly some local knowledge of a hotel with secure or covered parking in the the area? Bit embarrassed I'm nervous about this with the amount of road trips I've previously done but I just don't want to completely ruin my pride and joy in rain. Any tips or other advice greatly appreciated.

Just on the back tab with a spacer. Was fitted in a rush and planned to add a bracket but all seems well.

Hi everyone. Thankyou to all that are helping and have come forwards to volunteer so far. We really need the extra people to assist with one of the busiest stands at the show. If you are coming either Saturday or Sunday and can give us just a couple of hours we would appreciate it. You would recieve a free volunteer t shirt and breakfast if your staying over. We really need your help! Reply on here with the day your coming and we will be in touch. Cheers Martin.

just to give you an idea; this is the midilite kit from rallydesign with 15" wheels

The spec is amazing! What a fab Westie that is 👌

Having tried and miserably failed to keep up with David around the highland roads, I can confirm that it is one seriously quick car! But not only that, it is also of impeccable build quality. Has to be of the best out there.

@Trevor Little (Trevturtle) - Treasurer please find a roll for John and let him know what he'll be doing. @jmathews thanks for stepping forward.

Yellow things from curborough.... how about this 😜 ..... sorry Greg!

What gearbox is it? May be the angle but it looks further forward than mine. My gearstick isn't particularly long but works well enough despite that.

Lengthened my ridiculously short gear lever

Pricey, but I really recommend ram mounts ball mounted phone holders - rock solid once mounted

Thank you, Captain and Mr Carrot 👍 Apologies for the lateness, however, my log ins to the land of all that is WSCC are less frequent.

Scotchguard spray is another excellent water repellent, any supermarket or shoe repair shop.

Yeah, best lay off the Scrumpy until dinner time

Your gonna get a 2 week ban 🚫

It absolutely is legit! But.... I'm not sure the words Dick and Mayo should ever appear together in the same sentence 😂

I've no hood at all.... I've found rainX or equivalent to be very useful as depending on your height, the wipers may not actually clear the part of the screen you look through. Do the inside of the screen too as you can get some water running down there and that helps it move...

I thought you were at your usual, until I looked it up and it's legit

Yes there are a 121 entrants so far with 160 max

@Steve G. car was built and the owner sadly passed before he could enjoy it. His wife stored and decided to sell recently to the chap I bought from. He set back up so to speak and put through IVA and registered fully.

Hi TJB, congrat’s on your purchase, car looks superb 👌 drive & enjoy 🤛👍

They come with free wheels!

Is this the Dick Mayo Sprint?

Welcome, lovely car and I grew up with Pintos. Brings back memories, mostly of adjusting the valve clearance 😄

Nice looking car. What's the story behind getting the IVA done, was it built and not registered ?

The calipers look to be Midilites, which are what RallyDesign is offering with the 285mm disc. They market that as 15" only, but I agree with @mTT97 as clearance hugely depends on the wheels used. Split rims usually have much more space than one piece wheels.

Here you go!

Doing some modifications.

Enjoying the awesome Scottish Highland weather!

Reduced to £21250 to fund other projects.

I personally don't know you but it's always nice to be wished a happy birthday, so have a great day @Mark Stanton I'm hoping to get the 'Bagpuss seal of approval' this year @Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO 😂

Putting my Minno up for sale as I've got a covered trailer now so unlikely to ever use it again. Quite a reluctant sale as it's such a good trailer! Not really the right time of year to sell either, but I'm in no rush so that's cool. Anyway, like a few Minno trailers this wasn't used by its first owner, carried a formula ford for it's second owner and my Westfield for its third. I purchased it in 2017 and it's been stored in a garage or later in a barn ever since. Tows fantastically well empty or loaded. Front box will carry 2-3 jerry cans (it's boxed to allow the winch cable through so not convinced a 20l jerry can will fit in the middle). Adjustable wheel chocks help with positioning the car in just the right place. Total length 4.6m with a bed length of 3.35m. Total width 203cm so happily goes through standard sized garage doors. Bed width 165cm. 375kg empty, max load of 1,005kg giving a total gross weight of 1380kg. Located 10-15 minutes from J16 M4, just outside of Swindon. £1,800

What exactly did you do there? Did you actually get to drive that thing?
