I dont have a favorite Westy as such, I guess your 1st Westy is always special.....mine was a 1600CVH which i stretched myself to buy and glad I did, it was mint and for a 1st Westy ideal power.

Can I have a couple?

Derek Hodders car in it's earlier VX life ( QED 450/450V spec stage). Attention to detail was, as always, amazing....And it was the car that inspired me to build "The Boghouse" with a stripped out/ aero theme.

Infact its 450v cams ended up in the boghouse "Mason Motorsport" engine.

Lyndsay Pointons (then Dave Oldales) "Boghouse Blue" sprint car.......Stunning build/ attention to detail, went like hell unleashed....Oh, and the right colour

And if I can have a 3rd.....Dave Drews Westfield Sports (Early 90's factory evolution of the 11)

At the time, it was something completely different....And in days when power outputs weren't (on the whole) massive....It's Turbo'd CVH made it go something akin to Scoobys Aeon in todays terms

Nigel Dean building the blue V8 for kit car magazine was what inspired me to build one untill I saw that car I was going to build a Cobra.

And it's 460V cams are in mine...

My favourite is Matt Seabrook's buttercup

Buttercup's evolution is interesting, the Vx in it is very, very special and almost completely home grown...

[Mark Stanton]

Thanks to Paul for mentioning my Silver car (now in a new colour).

Call me biased if you like but as I have driven a lot of Westfields and Caterhams (and other race cars) over the years the final version of mine really was quite different.

It was and still is very easy to drive fast and that took the car to 2 outright championships and many track records. Many of those records still stand and some bettered only when a rule change allowed 1B tyres over the rock hard 1A's we used then.

A Caterham owning friend (and it was a good spec Caterham) drove the Westy at a hillclimb -on the first time out he bettered his best ever Caterham time.

I drove the car once this year and it still has the same sparkle; a compliant ride, well balanced front to rear, very flexible engine.

It was and still is the best in my eyes. There might have been a sequential gearbox I wanted or a set of brakes off another car however it was overall a good package.

Could I go so far as to suggest this Westy might qualify for the car with the highest number of wins or records ? I dont know but if I had the choice of any 7 style car to compete in I would have to be boring and pick this one.

As mentioned by me to Tommo.

This is the' fastest' Westfield in the country.(No of wins records etc)

Not sure I have got a true favourtite but a few stand out.

Mick's first carbon car, now Garry Bunn's is a superb car and seems to get better and better every year.

Flymo. Nothing else to say really.

Tim Duncan's twin bike engine special, as mad as a box of frogs.

The other one that really stands out in my mind, but I can't remember who owned it, it was red, running a XE, with 16" Caterham alloys and six speed box, and I think it had a stack dash. It was at Cadwell ~8/9 years ago and was owned by a Yorkshire man.
