Benrobson2999 - Kent AO Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Good morning, just joined the group as I have decided to get kit car. After a few years of consideration and always liking the idea owning/maybe building one I have narrowed my interest to a Westfield which seems to be the best one of the seven style. My Dad also has a nice pinto Westy which makes it more fun! Iam down on the South Coast near Deal, Kent and will be keeping an eye out for something as and when the right one pops up for sale (cash burning a hole). There are so many variations to choose from, any advice and opinion is most welcome! Thanks Ben 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingster Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Welcome Ben As you say, so many variations to choose from - so the questions are what do you want to use it for and how much do you want to spend, as that can help narrow down the choice and thus we can then offer some advice 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martyn Vann - Warwickshire AO Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Ben! We usually advise prospective owners to get along to your nearest area meeting to try to see as many cars as you can. In your case you have an advantage as there is a Westfield in your family so it would be even easier to make comparisons to help narrow down your choice.

Rob Hunter - Club Secretary Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Welcome from South Derbyshire! I'm on my second Westy in less than 12 months (I caught a bad dose of the common Westfield owner disease "upgradeitus"!). The help and advice from everyone on here has been invaluable to me. Good luck with your search, whatever spec you go for I'm sure you'll love Westfield ownership! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benrobson2999 - Kent AO Posted June 28, 2020 Author Share Posted June 28, 2020 thanks all for the warm welcome! Ok, further to your helpful comments. I think I want from a Westy is... A Sunday drive sort of car, something to maintain and tinker with in the garage. Maybe also do a bit of touring and have the odd weekend away in the sun and also one that would be fun to have a blast round on my local Lydden Hill circuit or Brands Hatch. I don't fancy an all out race car (bike engine with no reverse), as sometimes it is nice just to enjoy a bimble around the countryside - as I find with the motorbikes too! But it does need to be lively and exciting to drive. Part of me would like to build one too, so I need to weigh that up against buying one complete and just enjoying tinkering and driving. I am sure this site will help loads with technical stuff too! cheers 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezergs Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Welcome Ben I live in sunny Dartford but I also have a house in Planet Thanet so I'm sure we can organise a meet once you get some wheels... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
