[Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative]

Thank you Rob and Robin, very grateful for any help I can get on this one.

 

The weather is forecasting dry for Saturday so I am glad to say we are going in the Westfield....with its new exhaust on.....might be sounding a bit nice.....

 

Come and have a listen, come to this event for free tea and biscuits if not for the unique opportunity to see how a kit car factory actually operates, in depth, are you not interested in that?

 

There's even a goody bag so please come if you can 😍

 

[AndrewBClarke]

See you at 2.30!! In a Westfield of course 🤪

[Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative]

Yes brill, just took mine to test drive the exhaust 👍☀️

[Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative]

Wow, so much still to learn, you get to see a kit car stripped down to its very innards like nowhere else I have ever seen. We bought our car, rather than built it, so this tour was especially useful.

 

Most components are designed and manufactured on site, from brake calipers and suspension to the cosmetic stuff like doors, just everything is included.

 

Every last bit of your car is covered on this tour, really worth doing, it's very personalised as Richard himself is the guide. As kit car owners our tour lasted a bit longer because we went more in depth. He built the factory, he runs the factory and he is a success.

 

Homemade cake and coffee was available before and after, always a winner with us lot.

 

Thank you to the club for covering our entrance fees, thank you to the guys that turned up, it was such a shame that more people couldn't experience it. I will send Ruth and Richard a thank you from us all.

 

Next up is a run out with them to Belvoir, near Grantham so we will look forward to that.
