pat... Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Hi guys, My name is Patrick and i live in the southern part of Germany; somewhere near Stuttgart. Since my wife bought a Westfield SEiW with a ZETEC w/ R1 carbs, i do have to take care of the car. I am working on cars for hobby purposes only, but i love cars Here´s a pic of her Westfield and my Opel Rekord Coupe from 1969: Unfortunately, the seal of the transmission input shaft is damaged, so i have to pull the whole engine and transmission out of the car. I will start with this project within the next weeks. P.S. Please excuse my bad english, i learned it in school, but this was maaaaaaaany years ago ;) Quote
Kevin (Mr T) Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Guten tag Patrick and you have no need to excuse your English, it's very good! Quote

XTR2Turbo Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Hello. Is that a Westfield? Looks a bit different in the photos. 1 Quote
pat... Posted January 18, 2016 Author Posted January 18, 2016 Hello. Is that a Westfield? Looks a bit different in the photos. Yes, it´s a SEiW (widebody) Quote
Kingster Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Hi Patrick Welcome - here's where you will find the engine number: Induction side near the clutch bell-housing. Chris Quote
corsechris Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Welcome. I too am a bit puzzled about the identity based on those photos. Good looking car...but doesn't look like a Westfield to my admittedly inexpert eye. Nose looks Caterham or LoCost (bulges to the sides) and those upper wishbone mounts look nothing like I have ever seen on a Westy, same goes for the upper damper mounting too. Some 'missing' chassis tubes, scuttle shape, dash.... Absolutely not having a pop, it just doesn't look like what I am familiar with. Other views? Quote
TAFKARM Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 I think its an MK Indy myself. (Looks nice though) Quote
B.RAD Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Welcome! That Opel is gorgeous! Absolutely stunning. Have to agree with the others on the identity of the kit car though, the chassis is defo not a Westfield and the body is different too. Makes no difference to your membership here though, we welcome one and all! 1 Quote
B.RAD Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Quick google and I'd agree that it's an MK Indy, and a lovely one too! Quote
corsechris Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Hah, said I didn't know what I was looking at. Nice looking car for sure, and your schoolboy English is way better than my schoolboy German! Quote
Rab (bombero) Reid Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Hallo Pat, and welcome! Your cars look great! Yes, the others are correct - your wife's Seven is an MK Indy, but don't let that stop you posting on this forum! We're a friendly bunch and always willing to help others If any of your questions are bodywork/chassis/suspension/etc related then I think there are MK specific forums too that might offer more accurate help on those Quote
jonjh1964 Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Mine Zetec was supplied as a crated engine and it didn't have a number stamped on it from Ford, Westfield stamped the number by the bell housing as indicated on Chris' earlier post. Quote
