Pickud up my Westfield today

[PhilD]

Just thought I would share a picture of my new 2003 Westfield 2000 Zetec.

First advertised Friday morning, saw it Friday evening and paid my deposit, picked it up this afternoon. I have only driven the 45 miles home but absolutely loved it and can't wait to get stuck in to upgrading it!

CONGRATULATIONS

Happy

[Fer]

Have fun, and ignore all the comments about winter. Real men (and us mad wusses) drive 'em all year round!

[LotusNova]

Nice one - have fun.

Whats the spec?

[phild]

Hi,

Thanks for the good words and congratulations!

The spec of the car is:

• 2.0 Ford Zetec 16v engine (Silver Top)
• Twin Webber DCOE 40’s
• Ford MT75 5 speed gearbox & Westfield MT75 quick shift
• Rial 15” rims fitted with Goodyear Eagle NCT S 195/50/15 tyres
• Full set of VDO gauges (Tacho, Speedo, Fuel level, Oil Pressure, Water Temperature)
• Westfield Zetec exhaust manifold & silencer
• 3 point inertia reel seatbelts.

Plans for upgrading are:
New Carpets (old green ones have faded really badly)
RAC spec roll bar
4 point harnesses
Reconnect the heater (cos I will be driving it all year round!)
Some carbon bits and pieces including custom boot box cover, and stone guards

That should take me through to the spring!

My thoughts exactly. Theres nothing like going out for a run on a cold, frosty morning.

Get yourself along to one of the monthly area meetings. You'll meet plenty of other like minded fools

Congrats. Im thinking of buying one around feb next year. Whats peoples opinions on "Q" plate ones? Im being tempted by a factory built one just for peace of mind that its been put together without cutting any corners, also whats insurance like on one of these?

That roof doesnt look the worlds best fit. Is the weather gear good enough to use the car in the rain (not deliberatly, but say if you got caught in the rain while out somewhere?)

Again congrats on the purchase

Same in my Tiger. A shame when people SORN them from OCt to March. at least you got a windscreen and roog. I have neither

Should make no difference, but I built mine Tiger so no problems getting a age reg plate. its easy when building one. otherwise just get a good one and have fun

TBH, they wouldnt get through the SVA if any corners had been cut

Insurance is normally quite cheap. Usually around £200. Unfortunalty, because im 22 its about £800!

Looks like Dan's old car?
Look after it and enjoy it all the best.
Where are you based?

[phild]

Your right - well spotted! It is Dan's old car.

I'm based near Malmesbury, so will be joining the Bath and Bristol branch of the WSCC.

Maybe see you around Barry as we aren't that far apart?

Cheers

Phil

PS. Beautiful Westfield you have there! Looks fantastic and I bet it goes rather well!
