(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

Hi All, I've finally dug my car out from under the sheet it's been under for far too long and put it in the garage. Cleaned it up as best I can for now and start the long slog to get it running again. Hopefully be able to get it to the point of meeting up at some point soon. Tim

Nice looking Westy this one ............. slightly biased opinion though 🤣

My nephew has a caterham and he does talk to me. Sometimes...

Lumbar support fitted today. I've used these on my campervan and they made such a difference to my back so I thought I'd give it a try: There are 2 backrest straps to hold the bag in the perfect position. I found however that when it was pumped up it pushed backwards more than forwards. So I added a piece of lightweight 3mm plywood. Refitted the seat back and sat on it in the kitchen it feels good !

Some snapshots from the Insta 360 footage. Will try to post some video up on YT later. These are me passing Mark just to sort ourselves out after a somewhat confused stop in a lay by. Trying to decide whether to wait for Gareth and Linda or not 🤪 Harry following me, then waiting patiently for me to reverse and take the turning I had missed 🤪 Approaching Death Corner! Filling up in the Gulf Services with rubbish E10!

I have found that the WSCC has been fantastic. I’ve made life long friends. Changed my life for the better.

Speaking for our area we have a Tiger and Locost, even a Mk2 Jaguar that come out with us. Also the occasional visit to GBS cars for there tea and cake days.

Hi, wanted to say hello. Picked up my Westfield last week. Car was in storage and recently recommissioned and through the IVA. Pinto 2.1 from Vulcan Engineering and I’m running in gently and checking the car for every thing I can tighten! Loving it and wanting to maintain it as much as I can myself.

I bet he kicked himself afterwards once he realised what he'd done

not all Caterham owners are snobs, we get out with a couple regularly

A Caterham driver actually waved at me the other day, whatever next? 😱🤣

It's the std bend on the ford lever, the new length is probably not dis-similar to what the original ford might have had ? I won't know until my next track day really how it feels in-anger so to speak, but feels great in the workshop lol !

Let's call a spade a spade, the Caterham lads are famous for being 'snobby' about their cars. Not all of them of course but I have found a large percentage are like that. Turn up at one of their meets in another Seven and it's unlikely you will be made welcome. I keep on threatening to go to their famous fish and chip run and see what happens! Fancy doing that @Craigieboy? 😂😂😂 We are not like that here in the WSCC, not at all, in fact I'd say were are the polar opposite. Even our local WSCC WhatsApp group has quite a few varieties of kits and non-kits. Also you could look into joining KitNet.uk, there are quite a few us here who are members of both. KitNet has a huge variety of kits and also some non-kits, classics etc. Basically if you love cars you are welcome.

A great day at Curborough, and many thanks to @Martyn Vann - Warwickshire AO and Sue for a well organised event! 👍 A yellow car day to match the sunshine we had ☀️

Been plenty of times, stayed in Beaujesoir two or three times. It's huge... Disclaimer. Haven't been for quite a while so some of this may have changed. For the drive down and back, try and avoid the peage if you're not in a hurry. The N138 (as was) which I think is now the E402 is a terrrific drive down with plenty of towns and villages to drive through (respectfully) and to stop for coffe, snacks and a slash... There used to be a free shuttle bus to the main entrance from the gate at Beaujesoir but never used it. On arrival the fiirst thing to do is tune in to Radio Le Mans. It's all British and an absolute MUST for entertainment, interviews, information and all sorts, and the race commentary is second to none. Paul Trusswell is amazing and an absolute legend. You'll see why. But all the Radio Le Mans team are fantastic. I have them on here in the UK for the whole week thanks to the Internet, but they broadcast locally in Le Mans on FM to, so take a "normal" radio if you have one. They used to sell small "walkman style" radios in the village. Mine still works and it's about 22 years old... Then, with the tent pitched, head in to Le Mans supermarché to stock up on water, disposable BBQ's, beer and meat! Expect long queues for the showers in the morning. We used to forego that and shower at night, OR use wet wipes for a "squaddie bath". Plenty to see in "the villlage" in the centre of the circuit, and plenty to eat and drink but do also go to Arnage town (or further afield if you fancy a run out) as there are good restraunts, bars, boulangerie and butchers for a morning meat filled baguette and an espresso. Wednesday night and Thursday night is quali so you can rehearse your race day viewing spots. There's not much on during the day so maybe a walk/drive to the Le Mans Museum if it's open. Can't remember if it's Thursday or Friday but there is (or was) "The British Welcome" in Le Mans town and the drivers parade, but the parade is heaving and I never made it there. Friday is "Mad friday". Do the pit lane walkabout (very crowded) and then drive about enjoying the atmosphere. You WILL get stopped and asked to do wheelspins/burnouts. A refusal is often met with a supersoaker... Be careful. If the gendarmes see you wheelspinning etc they can be quick to issue tickets. The public road section of the track is open, but it's two way traffic and there WILL be radar traps on the Mulsanne at various points. That was taken at Indianapolis about 10 seconds after I dumped the clutch. And that's Friday day time... Friday night is fireworks, bbq's and drinking. Plenty of times that has been with whoever was camped nearby and there have been some great nights with French, German, Dutch, Danes and all sorts around the camp fire sharing beers and telling tall tales. From Friday night, sleep can be at a premium. Ear plugs can be a god send. Get a spot for the race start (if you haven't got grandstand tickets) early, a MINIMUM of 2 hours in advance of the start. During the race once the first hour or so is over with you'll be able to drive around reasonably freely to most areas of the track to spectate. Late evening/night viewing for me was at Dunlop and the approach to Terte Rouge. Glowing exhausts visible though thin carbon bodywork and of course brake discs glowing are great to see and can make for brilliant pictures. Terte Rouge can be a bit of a walk, and it's crowded for long periods. But 11pm to 1am was when we found ourselves there and it wasn't too bad. For the rest, well you have 24 hours so you can easily get round just about everywhere and have time to go back if you find a spot you really like. Do go to Arnage/Indianapolis, Porsche Curves, Terte Rouge/Dunlop Chicane, the main straight and Mulsanne Corner. Also if there are seats in grandstands, after the first hour or so it used to be ok to use them. Reserved seats are always taken up at the start and end of the race but for the most part they are not used, so if you can, help yourselvees. If the weather is even half decent you WILL need hats, sunglasses, sunscreen, a brolly for both wet and dry, and ear plugs, not for the race (well, maybe) but for sleep. And if it's hot, then it's HOT so keep up the fluids and keep the brolly up even if you have hats on. If you're staying over until Monday, the two times I did that the camp sites had groups of pikeys wandering around trying to steal anything unattended. If that still happens keep a close look out. Both times for me they would send their kids in to lift stuff that was unattended. Then you'll have the bug and you'll want to go every year. I still want to go every year but haven't made it for a while. But every year I hope...

New to the Westfield club! Just picked this up from Toybox last week. First drive was collecting her from Burton and driving back to North London on the A roads in the glorious sunshine! And a lot of driving this 1st weekend including a meet up with a friend and his GBS Loving every second so far!

I am casting around looking for my first 7 style car, rapdily learning things that are important. As it is my first of this kind of car I am looking at the budget end of the range to test the water, and down there I am also seeing interesting (perhaps better value) looking Tigers, MK Indy's etc. Last night I went and visited a caterham club meet, lovely guys, very welcoming, were friendly and let us test car sizing (an s3 is a real squeeze for me, my brother couldnt get into anything less than an SV chassis even that would need to be adjusted to fit a little) but it was very clear they were exclusively caterham club not a generic 'seven style' club. I had, perhaps naively, assumed a 'more the merrier' approach to runs, and club groups. The social aspect of going on group meets and runs is a large part of the appeal. Does this exclusivity equally apply to westfield club meets? Do you have to pick your tribe or forgo the social side if you pick a niche car? Of course no one can speak for every club, but just generally are the westfield clubs more open to more marques ?

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 😉😊👍

As I mentioned to @Jimbo93 Harry .. its been a lot further, hairpin at Monaco for one 😎

It's a long way from home.

There you go

That's still Andy in one of his old Westfields, Honda K20 turbo engine. Pretty quick isn't it 😄 edit: my bad, that's the LS powered one I remember a very similar video of his old K20 Westfield.

Not yet I'm afraid. Hoping to get a good crack at it this week before Malvern!

You were hallucinating Stuart obviously.

Already joined.. Just back from another run looking at 2 very different westfields (both from the classifieds here).. Ones in my strong possibles list.

Didn't you mean Douglas Bader I thought you had an old tiger moth er or was that kit car🤣

Why is it amazing cars always seem to come up for sale when you already have one and are not in a position to buy! If I sell mine and wait, one won't come up for 5 years you wait and see! 😤😤😤

Bit of a trek from Scotland so I doubt @DMc will make it, but I can tell you that photos could never do it justice. In the flesh it really is stunning looking, exceptionally well built and with an amazing attention to detail. That must be at least 2 pints you owe me David 🤣

Today's work was un-seizing the Mountney steering boss ..

Wow, what a spec! Will it be at Malvern? I'd love to see it!

Sorted. So you're Maverick and I'm Ice Man? 😂

I'll be your wing man

This is one of the few cars I've taken as example while rebuilding mine, astounding build and fantastic attention to detail. It surely deserves the price asked, I don't think there is a better sorted Seven-style car around (yes, I'm including ALL Seven-style cars, even Cats). @DMc maybe you can add the year of registration to the ad, might be useful for interested people from abroad.

This is perfect and I've just booked. great value too. Night in Kendal tomorrow thanks for all the help folks.

I got that. But if the engine/box is “midish 4” then that’s not a lot left for the rest of the car 😁

If you've got a budget then I'd stay away from caterham. They're fine cars but the caterham tax is a real thing and other marques offer better value for money. On the other hand, caterhams do hold their value well.

Absolutely beautiful , what an amazing attention to detail westy with all the right bits , stunning .

We’re a very inclusive club. In our area there’s owners of Westfield, Tiger, Caterham (who found that their own clique were far too cliquey!), Dax and Lotus (like me). Our very own Speed Series sprint competition is open to all “sevens” as well. If you have Caterham money available then look at the classifieds and just buy the green ecoboost, or I’d you want to spend less, I know of a nice Tiger for sale if that floats your boat 😁

Welcome @SeftonH you're very welcome here in any 7 type kit, we've got lots of non Westfield members with Tigers, Macs, MK's GBS etc.

@sebdangerfield the Lakes and Dales tour group are staying in the Kendal town centre Travelodge in June. It has an underground car park

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.

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