Could this be the long awaited debut ? Bicester Heritage tomorrow

Fits like a glove that does

I'll put money on it being a tuned 2L Duratec (maybe by Cosworth from a rumour I've heard, so far from concrete), and brand new engines too, as I believe the factory need to be able to produce 100% new vehicles. Otherwise, I can only agree with others expressing their disappointment at how little the club have been told about this ahead of the preview. I understand that existing owners maybe make a poor target audience for selling a new car, but there's a lot of value in word of mouth and opinion. I'm still waiting on the new XI that was supposed to be here last year as well!

If you could all just make sure for next time you coordinate your wardrobes so you all wear black and orange so everyone knows your the official crew🙂

I can't see that being a good choice BMW engines don't exactly have a reputation for simplicity.

Unfortunately you couldn’t see the cover/obstacle when dark! Leaving the Stoneleigh tent late that year was fun. Too many beers. We also meet the WSCC horse that year too!

You’d be wrong. I also have a video too Mr @Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO

I'll have a good look tomorrow 👍

The original brief the factory gave was for the top engine option to be ~2 litre, 16 valve, high reving 8k plus, or thereabouts and NA. Be interesting to see how much, if any of that’s been carried through.

Great Spot for the club stand! Next to all the Historic and Formula 1 if my memory is correct? Zone 4.

Just seen the post from Westfield re the launch of new model. Did we not get a sneak peak as promised at Malvern after all? 👀 excited to see what is coming… Tickets

This year's Annual Service will be at Bicester Heritage on the 9th August, from 9.00 - 16.00. There's usually a good turn out of various cars, and this year at least one Westfield will be on display. For reasons that I can't quite explain, my XI has been selected to be on display in the Exotics and Rarities section. Should you be passing, I'll be the tall, scruffy looking fellow stood near it.

The Millington Diamond range, 2.0 - 2.8L, NA, used in the MSRT escorts. Will sit straight into a westfield.

There were some great cars at GBS this evening!

I'll be parked up around the corner 10am 😅

In our usual inimitable fashion, just as the car is ready to collect, we’re off on holiday for a week 🙄 However, I should have the four post lift fully installed and working by the end of Sunday 🤞

A Westfield R500 then!

For me distance isn’t a problem just consider it a road trip and enjoy your car!

From Manchester it's all of 17 miles further to Malvern than Stoneleigh.....

Well… it seems to have an engine… Would have been nice to have had a representative of the club invited - but after Nigel’s reception at the tent in Malvern, I imagine that invite might have got flushed down the lav.

It's got an air intake in the bonnet. Please be supercharged 🤣

They didn't likely move through choice. Have you been to either of the Malvern shows @tex ? I doubt they did it to 'exclude most of the country'. If they'd moved to the Isle of Wight or the Shetlands, I'd support your view!

A good turnout on a not so sunny evening!

It was just like the old days!

We will be going up to GBS this evening.

Working for a living I’m afraid 🫣 see you soon @AndrewBClarke

Thank you Dave and Ian for your usual fine service and Mark too as new member of my push start squad.... most appreciated. Amusingly i parked it in the garage, restarted instantly. I think it's just a needy personality 🙂 Thanks again all three of my fine friends

I’m going to be there with work! Not 100% certain on the full list of cars we’re taking but so far: 3x 1952/3 Cooper Bristols a 1955 Lister Bristol a 1965 Lotus Elan 26R an Ex-Jack Brabham Cooper T43 an Ex-Bruce McLaren Cooper T53 an Ex-Graham Hill Lotus 15 If any more come about, I’ll update the list!

PM’d (and text messaged) with intent to buy…..

Braving the 'Chelsea Tractors' in Radlett (South Herts) to do the fish n' chips run. Lovely evening for a drive though 🙂.

New addition. Need to get some MoFast stickers 😂

Need to play with the height stops a little…

Ready for the Gold Cup at Oulton Park tomorrow.... just to show that the Westie is occasionally cleaned properly ('cos it'll be filthy by the time we arrive in the morning).

Just renewed again with Arnold at@Howden Insurance - Specialist Vehiclefor the 11th year in a row. Gone up a little bit, but can't complain.
