I've had two brief rides in "sevens" and they are just unbeatable for silly amounts of fun! That looks super nice. I can see why you changed the lights as ther seems to be a bit of an alignment problem with the chrome ones.  Definitely retro in my book! |

The design is retro, so it counts in my book.
It's just a modernised version of the original, the same applies to half the cars on here.

Top ride! I like Westfields, more so than Caterhams because they've been able to make modern revisions, things like the bonnet catches instead of those chrome pull springs etc.
Had a blast in one that looked strangely exactly like yours about eight years ago. 208bhp SBD kitted XE, was amazing. More recently I back to back drove the Seight? And the Zetec Speedsport, I'd take a four pot lump anyday. Good work.

Although I'm building one I've never ever been in a bike engined seven! Although my uncles 1.4 k-series caterham is fast enough and that has 120bhp and weighs nearly 700kgs!

Rather nice that. I built one in 1989 using a 1760 Crossflow with twin 40's. Way better than a Caterham any day.
