Spotted these while out today, don’t know wether they worked or not just grabbed a quick photo for nostalgia 

Bet they took you back? Must have been a lovely reminder of when you were in your prime

It looked like the garage in the photo you showed me of you in your Austin seven on the day you passed your driving test

Ready for summer after a few jobs over winter, new wide track kit, new engine and gearbox mounts, new timing and aux belts, oil and filter change, new windscreen, new tyres, various new fasteners and a new plate is the cherry on top I have also just ordered a new soft bits half hood today, can’t wait for the better weather, hopefully……

@Robin Parker (Red Spider) - Yorkshire AO aside from fine new perspective for Westfield Picture ! I can See You propably resolved problem with Westfield doors ( /side screens) which with regular Westfield mirros cant be open really wide (mirrors act like door stop) . It is not in Caterham as there mirrors are attached to doors as I remember (dont thik it proper as those must be vibrating a lot) . But Your solution seems super ! what  car / bike are Yours mirros from ? and are those adjustable (for different drivers height etc) ?

 

btw - what are those two black bars on rear panel in Your Westfield  ?

The mirrors are from "Car Builder Solutions", part no #M30, but they may have been discontinued now. They do have a selection of similar mirrors. They screw into a m8 rivnut on my screen supports.

The black bars on my bootlid make a boot rack to secure camp chairs, flags etc.

A quick wash after it's shakedown last weekend.  Can't believe how muddy the rural roads are

Yep, I that too, very greasy and slick still. In same places actually still quite damp. The A roads around me are ok but not the B roads, especially if you have R888Rs!

Hard to seen in the picture but is your car purple? 

 

I love purple cars but think I've only seen one Westfield in that colour before, it had a Honda engine and was also on a Q reg. Had I not just bought another kit (now sold),  I'd have bought that one, it was absolutely spotless.

If just muddy its ok, see how looks my streets now  (this white 'sth' is... salt!!!     ) we have nice weather now but I am not so brave to put Westfield's rust-prone steel on such roads ) .

Luckily there is proper rain in forecast in next days

I was in Krakow last month, it was bitter cold, but clear and sunny.

A beautiful city and lovely people.
