most people say ditch the swept wings and go for the cycle wings.

I say keep the sweeps.

Do the sweeps have an aerodynamic advantage over the boring arches?

Not to my knowledge,they say that the cycle wings give less lift at speed but to be honest after 85mph i struggle to see unless i have the doors on due to the buffeting around my face.

Makes sense. Have the doors hinge at the bottom and you'll get a smooth take off.

Would it still take off if it was on a conveyor belt?

On Thursday the 24th June I went to North Wales near Prestatyn to partake in one of the runs that the CSC had organised as part of their annual summer gathering. The event was week long but as I only lived 50 miles from Prestatyn and had work commitments we decided to go for just the one day. A short run of 50 miles took us through some of the most beautiful parts of Wales and the weather was an absolute dream. On the run was some truly stunning looking motors and in total counted around 40 at the stop off point at a reservoir (the name escapes me). Naturally there were a few poorly ones on the way around but I am glad to report the mine made it through and didn’t skip a beat all day.

In total we did 180miles over about 5 hours and have never had a more enjoyable day spent in a car! Neither of us has stiff legs or back ache (probably due to the comfort of the MGB seats) although a little sun burnt.

My first foray into this sector, having done yanks for the last 10 years. It's a 1998 Westfield with a 225 HP Swindon Racing Vauxhall engine.

As far as i know it's a stock Westfield colour "baby blue". Looks more like aqua/turquoise to me.
