Hello - i'm said person with the roll hoop (Surrey, not Sussex, but that neck of the woods anyway). I've sent loads and loads of photos and details to...
... I'll keep in touch and watch the weather. I'm also thinking I will do the Factory arranged trackday at Bruntingthorpe on the 27th. Nice safe place to have...
Does anyone have any advice for fitting the SU carbs heatshield? I just got a hold of a complete stock intake and SU carb setup from a midget. I had tacked...
... Hi Stephen, Shame you can't make Mallory, but I'm sure we'll meet another time. How about posting a few choice piccies of the hoop in the photos section ?...
When installed with the standard Westfield LCB header, the shield fits just fine. No problems at all. The heat shield attached to the carb spigots just behind...
An interesting bit of information. I should clarify things- it may or may not change the scenario. My car is one of the original 80's models, circa '83-'84....
The year should not make any difference, nor should the header. My car is older than yours, and the original header, as well as the Maniflow that I now use...
I appreciate the help. I think I'll trim out the heatshield, then wrap the pipes. It seems to be the easiest way. Once complete I'll post some pictures. ...
You can do the same thing with a couple of 4X4s and a pair of 2X4s and 4 casters. That should cost a lot less than $104. Just build a shipping skid and drop...
Hi Tony - photos on their way to you. They should come as 4 separate emails to keep the size of each email down to something reasonable. Regards, stephen ... ...
It has been an interesting first 500 miles with the 1388 engine. After running well only on race gas, I went back and re timed the cam, then changed the...
Hello Folks - Well, it's been a fantastic ride, but I'm off to my next adventure. My Westfield XI has been traded for a "1967" Ginetta G20. The cars traded...
We want details, Aaron. More than one of us have thought about Ginettas as alternatives to Elevens. We want pictures! We want impressions! We want comparisons!...
Hey Mark - Well, I just posted a new Photo file with a bunch of pics. There is a detailed description of this car at the Wirewheel Website as well. I JUST...
Hmmm. Not to many "G20" Ginettas. I did the story in Robb on the silver one. Mazda Miata power. Nice car, really, No doors. As for being "1967"...Do you have...
I drove the Ginetta for an extended period, and found it to be a fine sports car. It is not much like the XI as it is far more modern. Ginettas were ahead of...
I believe that the car that you have is the same car that I tested in CA, built by Joe Plemons here in So Cal. It was not quite sorted when I had it. Silver,...
No, this one is Pearl White with a red stripe and a red interior. It DOES have the Miata power, and is titled as a '67. It was actually produced in 2002. ...
Hi, Aaron! Sorry to hear that you sold the Westy, but it sounds as if you are on to bigger and better things. As I mentioned to you some months back, I'm...
Hello Les - Well, I basically traded the XI for the Ginetta, but call it a traded value of $17K. That being said, Hagerty Insurance requested to insure my XI...
Aaron, If yours is the the G20 I think it is then I have driven it. One of our English car club members got a G20, same color, engine, seats, and most likely...
Thanks for that. I guess I would not doubt this is the same car... There are so few of them around. I got to take my first real drive in the car yesterday...
Have a customer who ordered up a set of 15" Dayton wire wheels for his XI, and had them custom made to fit on the Sprite hubs, painted in 'Mercedes Silver'. ...
Hi, I've just uploaded some photos I took at the Coronado Historic Race a couple of weeks ago. If anyone would like higher resolution copies please just...
Not affiliated, but Moss is having a sale on a number of Midget/Sprite items for the next week. Some pretty good stuff in there, including about $100 off a...
If you check out Rivergate Restorations, you can get the alloy head complete for about $1100 as a daily, standard price. If you purchase a complete,...
Greetings from a newly minted XI owner. I picked up the long awaited kit at the terminal this afternoon and it is finally safely in my shop. Now the...
