What have you seen today?

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.

Fantastic pictures Rob and very well taken, but I'm a little concerned about your rubber fetish...

The rubber fetish is kept strictly to the weekends 😂

Actually think these pictures are beyond professional, should be in a magazine or even a book!

 

There goes my chances of a 2025 calendar entry 😭

I can assure you I'm no professional!

 

All these are just from the trusty mobile, the camera quality and standard editing software on a normal phone is amazing these days 👍

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 !!!

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?

What’s interesting to me is the new Westfield logo being used, which makes it fairly recent.

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 👍

I hope so, be good if he was prepared to give some tips on where he sourced that spoiler.
