Registered July 1995

Past History:

I purchased this Westfield from a friend who bought it from the guy who originally built it (retired engineer)

It was originally supplied as a total kit including a reconditioned 2lt Ford pinto engine, mkII escort 4 speed gear box and live rear axle.

The only modifications to the Westfield carried out by the builder (1st owner) were:

  • Replacement of the engines cam shaft for a Sig Erson 134.
  • Twin 40 Dellorto Carburettors
  • Set of ford fitment 14” 5 spoke alloy wheels to replace the standard 13” steel rims supplied by Westfield.

Other than routine maintenance and servicing (oil, filter, spark plug changes) the only modification by the 2nd owner was the addition of aluminium rear arch stone guards.

 

Recent History details/updates:

During my ownership I have spent in excess of 3k for which I have receipts to verify.

Apart from the general maintenance and servicing the main modifications and updates have been as follows:

  • The original build came with swept wheel arches, I have replaced these for genuine Westfield GRP cycle wings mounted on Tiger Racing stays to suit the cortina uprights. (I have kept the original swept wings for the option to refit in the future).
  • The rear spare wheel carrier and boot box have been removed (I have kept these also for future replacement)
  • Westfield vinyl 2 piece (not fixed) padded ply seats have been replaced with a pair of double skinned GRP mounted bucket seats. Drivers seat mounted on adjustable runners. The passenger is fixed. These were obtained from new from Kit Car Direct.
  • Pair of RaceLidz 3” 4 point lightweight harnesses from Playskool Motorsport. (I have kept the inertia shoulder seat belts for future replacement if required)
  • New 60Ah Bosch Silver battery (5yr warranty)
  • New facet 'Red Top' fuel pump and Filter King regulator.
  • Head gasket replaced Aug 2014 with a competition 'Cometic' gasket from Burton Power. Head bolts were also replaced with new genuine Ford, early non-stretch type.
  • New thermostat and water pump fitted, both supplied by Burton Power
  • Rear cylinders replaced and whole brake fluid system flushed.
  • New Misab gaskets and thackerey washes fitted to carburettor/inlet manifold.
  • New motorsport wing mirrors fitted, supplied by DemonTweeks
  • Alernator refurbishment by Clwyd Auto Electrical
  • New unmarked Compomotive 13” mini-lite wheels on Toyo R888, staggered set-up 6J front, 7J rear.

Nice looking car, Good luck with the sale, seems like this will sell well at a Goidelic chosen price, considering the amount of cars for sale at the moment, it's very well presented

Cheers James.

Yes its a tidy Westy.  Ideal for someone wanting a road going soft top for nice summer drives. Its all basic mechanics to, so someone with the basic engineering/mechanical skills, its an ideal motor to maintain and look after yourself.

 

I should point out, that the photos were taken the day I posted the advert and the reason that the roof looks slack in second to last photo, is that the support brace has been removed. (still have this and it is included in the sale).

I never drove with the roof on, so it seamed pointless transporting it and the brace around.

Hi Folks,

Other than the club, where is the next best place to advertise? Pistonheads, Auto Trader?

ebay is the cheapest option on the classified 28 day listing (it was £14.99) last time I used it and you can adjust the advert and see how many hits it gets with 12 photos  and as much text as you can write

Gumtree is free I think too

Good luck with your sale the car looks nice
