New member in WA State, USA

While I can claim no credit for the build, I am now the proud owner of a 1995 Westfield SEiW with a long and storied history here in the US.  From an early appearance in Road & Track in 1996, through its current configuration at the hands of its previous owner (JohnCh), this little red beauty has seen a lot of changes, and I'm in awe of all of them.  The only thing I changed was adding the WA State Collector Car plates (due to its 30+ year age) to keep from having to re-license it every year.  While I might make subtle changes over time, I'm having waaaay too much fun to even consider it currently.

Good to see another Westfield in the Northwest...I'm in Bozeman, MT and have owned mine since 2014.

 

Have fun with it!

I had a lot of great adventures in that car, covering over 14k miles on tours. I'm glad to see it's gone to a good home and is only about an hour away. Here are a few shots from some of my favorite trips in the car.

Monterey car week 2012. This kid was a huge fan of the cars -- that's a big deal given the lack of se7en awareness in the US -- but he had never seen one in the flesh.  That smile is the result of taking him for a spirited drive.

 

 

This is on the way to Mount Rainier as part of a 3-day loop in 2017.

 

I'm looking forward to hearing about your own adventures!

 

Cheers,

John

Welcome! And it’s fantastic to see John’s car still being enjoyed. A stunning Westfield.

My first official recognition!  A respectable 3rd Place at the 2025 Boeing - Renton car show (out of about 40-50 cars).  I was bested by a 1982 Ferrari 308 GTB Quattrovalvole, and a well restored 1968 Dodge Coronet 440 6-pack.  Given that competition, I was more than pleased with the Westfield's first showing.  Lots of people stopped to look and ask questions, and everyone loved it.  Some knew about Caterhams, but Westies are pretty rare around here.  I lost track of how many times I had to unlatch the bonnet to give people a peek at the Duratec.
