French Stylus

[KevPad46]

Hi, Im an old Westfield builder /owner and WSCC member in the 90s.

I changed to an SSC Stylus at the end of the 90s after a year of very wet motoring and competing in the BARC Speed series.

 

After building the stylus I used the car on the road and again BARC Speed events with the wife for a few years. Then we moved to France in 2016.  Driving here is unbelievable. I did a track day here during our first month of arrival, but the 4hour voyage over the mountains and back was as good/better than the day itself. Therefore a road compliant car is best.

 

So I decided to "tidy" up my noisy, hard, bashed, bent car up.  This was aided by the covid years.

During this time I found the WSCC build forum to be my best aid. The car is almost finished (you know 99% only a couple of weekends to do!).  

 

In short my changes are -

Right to left hand drive.

Zetec to 1.6 ecoboost.

New body.

French registration ; - )

 

I will hopefully start a Build Diary from an afterwards - with info.

 

Salut

Kevin

Looking forward to more details on this as I sold a stylus last year.  They are a really good car... typical Jeremy P. Mine was the RT model too, probably the best road car toy I've had. 

I know of a couple of guys in France playing with kits, on is Ian Gray, the other is Matt Downes who is rebodying his Stylus to add a hardtop!

Hi Paul

Yes I see Matt regularly. He is 2 - 3 hours north of me.
