Westfield Newbie - Manchester / Leeds

[Brad Stone]

Good afternoon ladies and gents, 

I have been floating around the forums for the past couple of months and have more recently joined up as a fully fledged member of WSCC on the back of my first Westfield purchase (I have been too busy enjoying the car until now!). 

 A little bit about the car then, I believe this was built over the space of about 10 years, it's a 1992 SEiW kit that was first road registered in 2002 by the original builder. Unfortunately, he passed away 6 months later (Very unfortunate because it's a true credit to his engineering career through his attention to detail) and has since changed hands 3 times prior to the sale to me. I bought it of what I can only describe as a true petrol head, Ian who was replacing his current vehicle with an all singing megabusa built for the track along with numerous motorbikes in his piston-filled haven of a garage.

It's a 1660cc Crossflow (711m block) on Weber's, has been fully dry sumped and has had the rear disk conversion. The bodywork is in absolutely fantastic condition for it's age and really does want for nothing with a few miniscule gel coat cracks near the rear wheel arch. I have had the car for approx 1 month and have already covered circa 500 miles of sun drenched driving pleasure. The only change I am going to make in the near future is to change the steering wheel out for a smaller quick release unit, as I do think it is on the large side. The car also came with a full set of minilites which I am thinking of changing over too, but will shod them with new tyres and look to do that over winter. 

I am based in Bury, Manchester but am often in Leeds if anybody fancies a blat for a beer and some stunning scenery then hit me up. I shall also be attending some of the meetups so look forward to seeing some of you at those.

All the best,

Looks lovely. Welcome, there’s plenty of activity around the Manchester through to Yorkshire, via the Peaks, so lots of opportunities for runs out in good company.
