Popular Post Kingster Posted July 16, 2020 Popular Post Posted July 16, 2020 Just talking to Jonathan who has a Westfield Pre Lit. It used to have a trusty crossflow but many years ago he put iwhat he believes was the very first blackbird engine in a Westy. Possibly the first bike engine? Not sure. Amazingly this car has over 100,000 miles on it! His first blackbird engine did 70,000 miles including tours of the alps many times over. So for those who think our cars don’t do long miles or that bike engines can’t tour - or that blackbird engines don’t last - here’s proof! 10 Quote
Kingster Posted July 16, 2020 Author Posted July 16, 2020 Oh and the owner is a pretty good driver! 2 Quote
Steve (sdh2903) Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 Must be an overall mileage record for a westy? Good effort Quote
Kingster Posted July 16, 2020 Author Posted July 16, 2020 I know - I had to ask Jonathan maybe 4-5 rimes “so you’ve done over 100k miles in your Westy? (yes) And over 70k of that was with a Blackbird engine!!!’’ (Insert the reply - Holy ****) (yes) he did admit that his second blackbird engine only lasted 10 miles though 😁 Quote
