New Member from Italy

[LoneWolf]

Hello all,

I've finally realised a dream I had since quite a few years, owning a 7 type car! Unfortunately to register it in Italy it must be 20 years old at least, so I didn't have many options on the table, and a Westfield was surely the most attractive 😁

I ended buying a red SEiW with Ford RS Turbo engine. It looks pretty good, not the best but the above limitation and limited budget didn't allow me to buy something nicer 😊 However that's not entirely bad, I love modifying and generally poking around with cars, my dad and brothers are mechanics and own a garage so not really an issue upgrading it 😁

The car is currently in a lorry on its way to Italy, I'll post a few pics when I have it with me 😁

 

ps: do I need to be a paid member to buy something from the "Parts for Sale" room?

 

Thanks 😎

 

edit: some photos of the old owner:

Welcome, welcome, welcome!

 

Great to realise that dream - mine took 30 years and a divorce!

 

Of course it isn't real until we see the photos!

 

Regards

 

Chris

Cheers.

Unfortunately it seems I can't even post replies to threads on the For Sale forum. Not sure if that's normal or it's a problem with my account

Benvenuto !

 

I'm usually comically reluctant to part with money, but trust me, registering was the single best thing I ever did regarding owning a westfield.

Some pics from the old owner added to the OP.

I was wondering if the bodywork is Z̊K or kit? Not very clear since the modified bonnet...

Ok we dropped into the north of Italy as we toured around the Switzerland/ Italian border this year, 

some time I would love to head direct through France to Italy and drive the mille miglia route

 I dropped into Italy last year and it was beautiful.

 

What a great place to live for having a Westfield.

 from sunny Somerset, not so sunny or warm as southern Italy though. Enjoy your new toy.

Cheers everyone. I've actually lived a couple of years in the UK (Cheshire) and I learnt to love those places. Surely the weather is not comparable to south Italy but there are so many other good things
