I live pretty close to their factory & drive past regularly (including today).

It is a very anonomous site that could be producing cardboard boxes or widgets rather than sports cars !

Now the road runs past the rear & car park of the place so no doubt there could be a s****y reception area full of cars on display but this is certainly not apparent !

Does anybody know if they are doing ok...this is just out of interest really as they are a local company.

I know we have a few track day fans & sporty car owners on here so does anyone have any thoughts about Westfield.....?

..................looks like i'm doing the factory tour on my own then..................

Having a tour around the Factory is no problem as long as you phone them 1st.    You can also take out a demo car for a reasonable fee but you have to stick to a prescribed route.   If you want to have a day at Silverstone, not on track though, there are the active days http://www.westfield-sportscars.co.uk/calendar.html . You get a lot of time in the car compared to other similar events.  

There are regional groups throughout the UK who have monthly meets if you are actually thinking of buying a weekend toy, they are quite used to taking people out on demo runs. In our Essex group there is always 3 or 4 of us who have been asked for a ride out, always willing us lot.

Westfield Sportscar Co. are doing are well and are 100% British owned.

Thanks for taking the trouble to reply much appreciated !

Sadly, I do not think my geriatric bones would squeeze into one of these fine looking machines.

It was more of a general query about them.

They are a local company up to me. I am mildly intrigued by what seems such a low key set up....although they are unlikely to have a big arrow outside and a sign saying...."latest top secret model here"...are they really..?

Cheers

I don't know, Bernie is no spring chicken and he could show the young uns

a thing or two in his yellow beastie.

The Widebody cars are a lot easier for us old big uns, they are not like the original Lotus 7 when a youthful 5' 5" SLIM KID WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO COULD GET IN THEM.  We have a 6' 5" bloke with a  Westfield in the club.

Top Secret model you mention,  Westfield are developing an Electric powered car, although the 1st. version was flawed they are carrying on with a newer version.

Hopefully soon there'll be another 6'5"-er with a Westie soon... Wish it would hurry up to spring when they'll all come out again.

Aha, Quinten is also looking for one, hows the search going. 

Here's ours :(

Well, not very well... there's just not many advertised at the moment, and I don't think it will improve until we hit March :( Much to SWMBO's despair as she is the one without a car during the week (as I'm using the only car we have to get to work). Even if I had more money to spend, the offerings are not that great...

Here's ours :(

Nice project for the winter you have there.  Zetec for your build I see.  You'll need help somewhere on the journey, hope you registered on WSSC forum.

There's never a glut of cars for sale, now and spring is the best time but don't expect dozens for sale and you'll have to travel some distance to see them.

Been a 7 year long project mate!!

It's a 4AGE engine

Better get on with it then, there is another build that's been going on since 2002.

It's my Dads although I think it will be me finishing it! I was 14 when he bought it!

It's a proper Westfield chassis, narrow body one which is a little worrying!

I have a 1990 SE - I'm 6' and about 13.5 stone. I fit with the seat back as far as it will go.

 

Wouldn't be without it - 50mpg from the vRS, 20mpg from the Westfield

The narrow cars are not made these days, only parts.    The race and sprints guys like the narrows so could be a good asset should you and your Dad not build it.

Another top bloke here, we should have a Sub Forum for Skoda/Westfield owners.
