Glynn Walters Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Afraid it’s only 2 years 13 days ago at the IVA test centre Hull ! Still got the stickers on the tyres😁 Then realised driving round on my own wasn’t as much fun, so joined the WSCC and met up in the Peaks! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigSkyBrad Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 2017 - 1st day of ownership, Belfast ferry terminal, complete with underslung exhaust and inset rear wheels. The year before I made the tough decision to sell my classic car I still had tucked away back in NZ, that I vowed never to sell, but it looked it I wasn't returning home any time soon - so, I needed something special to cherish over here, and a 7-esque had always been a wish-list car. After about a year searching for the right car at the right price, I found our one on Autotrader, just north of the border with Ireland. That was on the Thursday, we booked one-way Ryanair flights to Derry on the Friday, flew over on the Sat, and got a rental car with a non-return drop-off at Belfast airport - we were either flying back, or ferry. Previous owner was a police/forces driving instructor, and in 18 years/three owners, the car only had 13k on the clock. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_S Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 I bought mine on 29th September 2018 as a finished hill climb car. Trailered it home and 4 years later successfully tested & registered my flying carrot! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent! If you had been sat in it, it might have looked like a huge power slide 🤣🤣 I recall driving mine up the hills in Bath in the snow in the early nineties, great fun! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenko Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 This was my old westfield....Started life as a standard 1.6 CVH on carbs, and over the years moved to a 2ltr cvh with a ported head and solid lifers, etc, and went to fuel injection on Motorbike TB's. It was a great car...I only sold it to fund a new build of a Sylva J15. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
