Petrol Ped - Westfield


Recommended Posts

Posted

There’s a number of really good points raised above, but the common thread has to be the engagement & collaboration of WSCL & WSCC for the greater good of each entity - I for one couldn’t justify or desire buying a new one, but I’m really impressed that someone (well the WSCL team) have invested their money, time & commitment to continue the Westfield story. I genuinely believe it can only support WSCC & everyone on here, let alone help to keep/grow the value in our cars on the 2nd hand market - not that I’m selling mine EVER as I hope my grandson can inherit it! 

In today’s marketplace for a ultra-low volume car-maker, WSCL need both a “cost effective component supply base” and “volume sales”, & those sales cannot just come from the UK alone, WSCL’s existence will surely require numbers to be sold overseas & I’m praying they come along very soon (although the thought of a future home build kit form - maybe a “hybrid“ instead of purely component form, to have option like when SEights were only sold as a “rolling chassis”) would interest a whole new level of buyers rather than £49K outlay. 
To me, WSCL have brought Se-NA to the market & as far as I’m concerned if it looks like a Westfield, sounds like a Westfield & drives like a new Westfield, then it’s a Westfield - cus there aren’t many/any Standard Westy’s out there! 
I’ve got everything crossed that Se-NA will be a massive success, WSCL deserve that & look forward to seeing the car in the flesh in the near future. 
👏 Well done to Nigel & all the team in Bicester, and here’s to a much brighter new future 🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝

I think the new Se.Na is fantastic and throughly enjoyed the video. 
As much as the thought of building my own appeals to me, at the moment I don’t have the time or the space, so a turnkey car would be perfect. 
 

The price (as someone who has recently purchased a used Westfield) seems high to my limited budget, but does seem to be good value compared to its peers, and in the age of  £50k + VW Golfs I guess isn’t far off the mark. 
 

What the £50k Golf has in its favour is compelling finance offers and I think this will be key for Westfield at this price point.  
The majority of cars sold these days aren’t £50k - they’re £5k deposit and £300 per month or whatever. 
I enquired about a Caterham before buying my car, and they’re now offering PCP deals. With the ridiculous residual values on them, it made an interesting proposition. 
 

I’m not the target market for a new Westfield so won’t comment further, other than to say thank you to the new owners at WSCL and wish them every success. 
 

P.S - if WSCL read this and would like someone to long term test some of those new carbon Tillett seats I’d be happy to volunteer 🥰
