dvd8n Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 This strange thing was there too. 1930 was a lie. As was BMW. It seemed recently made. It was in with the motorbikes and cyclecars. It only has one pedal. The brake is the lever on the side. It has what I think was a lawnmower engine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All these are just from the trusty mobile, the camera quality and standard editing software on a normal phone is amazing these days 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have taken photos of it for hours 😂 Saw that Shelley special at Loton Park a couple of weeks ago. It looks like a barn find !! It’s got a transverse engine and it’s supercharged. Goes quite well too !!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cutler (Adge) - Dorset AO Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Saw this FW at Mallory Park at the weekend. Interesting carbon spoiler on the lip of the rear tub: Looks similar to those available, for BMW's, anybody got any clues please? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s interesting to me is the new Westfield logo being used, which makes it fairly recent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting carbon spoiler on the lip of the rear tub: Looks similar to those available, for BMW's, anybody got any clues please? It's actually owned by a friend of mine. Allan has taken over 2 years (with huge help from local member Ben Hudson) to convert the car..... The car started life as a 1990's CVH engined (on carbs) SEIW car that had red bodywork and swept wings. It now has full FW bodywork, homemade 50mm wider rear arches, Prodev 2.3 forged and ported Duratec on huge ITB's, custom Lotus Exige instruments, new loom with Emerald K6 engine ECU, rear drums converted to discs, upgraded to alloy hubs, big brake kit on the front, lightweight flywheel, competition paddle clutch etc etc etc. A few other local members have also helped Ben and Allan in the background too. I've helped a little too, mainly as a "phone a friend" occasionally and been an extra pair of hands when getting the engine fitted. A real labour of love, it's a stunning motor that was only finished a few weeks ago. Hopefully Allan will be joining the club soon and we will get more photos of the car 👍 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
