simon besant Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I have decided to sell the Westfield As a few know my dad died very suddenly a few weeks ago and this has made me think about what I am going to do now in the future I had started thinking of selling her before this all happened and the car had been offered to a good friend and club member But now it is sold and once I have got her clean and made sure it is 100% she is going to a new home I have made many good friends over the years through the club and have enjoyed my Westfield ownership (highs and lows ) immensely The club is a fantastic family and a part of my life so I am not saying goodbye at all I know some might think thus is a reaction to a bad event but as I said the ball had been set rolling before this happened, this just strengthened the reasons for me selling it I intend to now do a lot more travelling in the future with my wife and family Starting with a second motorcycle trip in America (Ok with a mate wife's not included) next year So thank you to everybody for there support whilst I was rebuilding the car and at all the speed series events and I hope I entertained you all with the car as I was entertains myself with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Colonial Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Totally understand and respect your difficult decision, and my sincere condolences on the loss of your father as well. You've given a lot back to the club and its members during your ownership of the monster, and I join the others in hoping you'll stick around here in La WSCC Familia. All the best for your next adventure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
