I'll take the one second from the left, something about blue makes me short of breath...

Come on Kiwi, thats just rubbing it in. I will think of you, open top cruising while I am freezing my #$@*&!!! off. Enjoy my friend, Enjoy...

I know of what you speak.. Here in Alberta Canada, our winter is just picking up steam, minus temps are on us, will take posession of my se7en for next spring, roll on winter I have got something to look foward to next year.

What a great looking machine, why couldnt it be a 1994, enjoy your new ride.. someone is going to have a blast in your old one. Wish it was me...

Hi Chrenan I know what you mean as far as finding a se7en, caterham or westfield in Canada. I am looking at a westie in Japan right now, ZEI with 1.8 EFI. Still in the early stages of the process. Good luck with your search. Steve

Hey Skip Thanks for the reply, there are only 37 sevens as far as I am aware in Canada, and bringing one in has its pitfalls, mainly that they have to be 15 years old. So that will mean some re-fettling, dirt under the fingernails and words our mothers would not approve of..I mean to have me one, caterham or westfield. Yours is a Beaut, Steve

Thanks John Really enjoyed reading the 2005 trip events, cant wait to experience road trips in the same fashion, minus one or two of the quick fix sessions..awesome looking ride you have. I"ll be sure to post pics of mine when I find it. Steve

Hi Russ I,m in that real northern part of North America, Canada, Alberta to be exact, Seven,s of any description are in short supply here. Steve

Great looking ride, I am thinking of getting a Westie, what are your impressions so far? Thanks.

If thats what a Westie does for you, I might have to buy one...

Any of you seven nuts out there drive Westfields? Need info on how they handle, power choices, all the good stuff. Thanks guys.

Hi Mike, never to late to have fun.. still working on jumping thru import hoops. Will get my Seven one way or the other. Winter now so I have to cool my heels, come spring, I WILL be in my seven. Steve

Hi don Must be losing it, yours is a 92, DUH ! How about some pics. Thanks . Steve

Hi Don Unfortunately the Canadain import rules say that I can only bring in a seven that is 15 years old or older. They just hate us boys having fun..... Thanks anyway. Steve

Would prefer the Caterham chassis, is your machine a Locost build. Steve

Okay people, I am 60 years of age, note I did not say OLD..and I have to get my Seven while I can still get in, and more to the point, out of one. I live in Canada so it needs to be 15 years or older to be able to import it with the least hassle. Please let me know if there are any good ones out there. Thanks. Steve.

Canadian Government are trying to make it so that a seven would have to be 25 years old before it qualifies as a classic. They just hate us having fun....I will keep looking for my 15 year car before they pass the law..Steve

Hi Guys,hope this helps with vehicle age issue. A kit car is not permitted entry unless it was assembled more than 15 years ago. You will be required to submit proof of the age. Registration documents will have to show that the kit car was registered more than 15 years ago. The date the reproduction was assembled is the age of the kit car rather than the model year of the reproduction. This is relevant also: Importation of vehicles into Canada from countries other than the United States From Transport Canada: PROHIBITED VEHICLES Vehicles Manufactured for a Foreign Market 31. Vehicles less than 15 years old and buses manufactured on or after January 1, 1971, that are manufactured for a foreign market (a market other than the United States), do not comply with the Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. These vehicles are permitted entry only if they qualify for one of the provisions stated in paragraph 29. Grey Market Vehicles 32. Grey market vehicles are foreign-specification vehicles that are re-certified by a United States company. They were originally manufactured for the domestic market of a foreign country and were subsequently imported into the United States where they have been modified to comply with the United States safety and emissions standards. Grey market vehicles may be identified by a label affixed by the United States company that altered the vehicle, indicating that they have been "imported," "altered," or "modified" to comply with the United States standards. These vehicles may not have a certification label affixed to them. Grey market vehicles are ineligible for entry to Canada and are to be processed in accordance with paragraphs 40 and 41. Kit Cars 33. Kit cars are treated as vehicles whether they are presented for importation as a fully assembled vehicle, or as an unassembled vehicle in a kit. 34. A kit car does not meet the import requirements for the SOC label, the 17-character VIN, or admissibility status. Therefore, it is not permitted entry unless it was assembled more than 15 years ago and the importer can submit proof of age, e.g., a registration document. The age of a kit car is determined by the date the reproduction was assembled rather than the model year of the reproduction or the date of manufacture of a donor car. If in doubt, contact Transport Canada for a determination on the kit car's eligibility. __________________Steve

Hi Dave, thanks for the info. Just been checking up on the Canadian rules. Being told that the proof needed is that the car was actually built 15 years ago. Then it is classified as a classic.. Steve

Hi dave,great looking car,pity its a 1999, need one that is 15 yrs old to get it into Canada. Steve

Is the Westfield still for sale and if so, how much are you asking? Thanks. Steve
