My inheritance

[Jude - The Mad Widow]

Here I am, 3 years after being widowed following a horrific road accident in Scotland 05-09-2015, the proud owner of my late husband's hand built Westfield 7 SE.  

It gives me a lot of pleasure to drive and I shall be out and about meeting people and going to my local group.  Having been a biker most of my life it sure brings a smile to my face. 

Happy days.

PS Here are some photos, she has a 1600 ford crossflow engine, bored out to 1700. Brian planned to put a ztech engine in but that was never done.  She had a Ford Escort donor car and very little money was spent at the time (two small kids and a nagging wife!).  I might upgrade a few things...    As you can see I am possibly not the most conventional owner, if there even is such a thing. My two dogs love it.

Currently, following the wipe out of my Volvo by a drunk driver. The Wez is my only car - plus a motor home.  I am just back from a three month road trip of Europe to get over the death of Brian. So I have two vehicles, one extreme to the other!

Sorry to hear of the sad way you've become a Westfield driver.

But I bet it gives you great satisfaction driving something you know was built by your late husband

Hard to read without a lump in your throat, but what a great way to remember your husband and at the same type a really fantastic way to move on positively doing the things you both enjoyed. May you have many more fantastic miles in it!

Oh and we love to see pictures of the cars too!

What a lovely car.

Best colour too.  

[Captain Colonial]

Very sorry for your loss, how terrible, yet how marvellous that you have the car and use it as a tribute to him.  No doubt he’d want you to enjoy it as often as possible and think of your journeys together.

Swept wings too, he was obviously a man of great taste!

Thanks for joining the club, it’s a great bunch of people in here, all wise, generous, good looking, intelligent, thoughtful and most of all, modest.

Sorry to hear of this news, and as above say welcome and a lovely way to remember your husband.
