New member and very happy first time owner!


Rob Hunter - Club Secretary

Recommended Posts

Hi all! 

After about 40 years hankering after a sevenesque car, I finally took the plunge at the weekend and I'm the very proud owner of a gorgeous Westfield! I've always been a petrol head and have recently put together a track day R53 BMW Mini (that my eldest is now inheriting). 

Being 6ft 4 I wanted a wide bodied car and ideally a 2.0 zetec or redtop, and I also like the more modern cycle wing look. 

After much searching, I finally found one I fell in love with, a '96 SEIW in yellow and carbon fibre with a 2.0 blacktop, twin 45 Weber's, TD 1.2's, Gaz coilovers etc and loads of history. John, the previous owner (a really nice guy!) was a long term member of the WSCC and recommended I join. I'm sure people here will know the car. She's not perfect or a show car, but she's all mine! 😁

I'm looking forward to meeting some other owners (weather permitting!) and picking your brains when I inevitably start fettling, fixing and upgrading! 

 

Great to be part of the Club!

 

Rob

Looks cool. Hopefully meet you sometime on the Peak District trips. Keep a look out in the ‘local area meets’ on this site - no doubt it wouldn’t be long before a trip out is organised!

I do remember the car because of the logo (Jordan F1 livery) but can’t remember the member.  Hardly a surprise when I can barely remember what I had for breakfast.  Welcome on board and have a great time! :)

The car's been through several long term members, if it's the one I think it is. If my (poor) memory serves, wasn't it Carpet Stu's in the early/mid 2000's, who oversaw a lot of Carbon Mods additions and general upgrades?
