New WSCC member saying hello

[Robertf]

Hi everyone joined the club earlier this week thought I would introduce myself!

I used to own a westfield about 20 years ago, an SEi (I think) with a Vulcan 135bhp crossflow on twin dellortos, which was a pretty decent specification back then!  Had the car a couple of years but ownership co-incided with a house move and subsequent renovation project which meant the car was barely used.  I did quite a few bits to the car over the period I owned - upgraded the engine, added a brushed aluminium dashboard and new chrome toggle switches, chrome roll bar etc etc.  Then sold it on to a guy from Germany.

Have had quite a few nice cars over the years - a 911 Carrera 3.2 replaced the westfield, followed by a Ferrari 308, Alfa 3.0 GTV and 147GTA, then a Maserati 3200GT.  Pretty sure most of those are now worth a lot more than I sold them for thats for sure!  Other priorities meant I had to leave nice cars to one side for a while, and these days I have just an Abarth 500, which I think is a great little car.

Have always felt that Westfield ownership was rather unfinished business as it wasnt used much, so have just agreed a deal for another.  Though I like the look of the zetec and vauxhall specifications, I've decided to stick with what I know, and I owned a LOT of ford cars in the 80s and 90's, so the incoming car is an SE wide with 2.0 Pinto power, of course with twin carbs - webers this time.

Really looking forward to collecting the car in about a week's time.  In the meantime here are a couple of pictures of my previous Westfield - bit of a period piece with the swept wings and Ferrari style wheels!

Many thanks everyone for the warm welcome, pics and impressions of the new car to follow in about a week!

So have you gone for a more modern looking car this time, or something traditional again?

[Robertf]

Hi Dave

Its a bit more modern looking with cycle wings rather than swept, black dash and high-back seats should be able to share some pics early next week!
