Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Yes the Sport Turbo is available in this country, (well unless any things changed recently it was, anyway!) in fact there's actually U.K. Only version too, that looses some of the Euro sales compliance, but gets a power upgrade. Clicky The FW, I forget exactly when it appeared, mid 2000's from memory, around 2005 give or take a year or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy (Sycho) Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I think the fw was released in 2004, I remember seeing it a Stoneleigh while I was building my first car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Smith - Joint Hampshire & IOW AO Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Dave. The sport turbo on the Westfield site is L/H drive and I can't find any details anywhere of a UK version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also have a UK only version that is supplied without the need for European requirements, the Sport Turbo UK200 delivers 205BHP and is available for UK and non EU customers only.

Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 get the magnifying glass out, as Andy said, it's there on that page! You could buy either the Euro version, in right hand drive, or a U.K. Only version. My understanding, but it's ages since I saw the details, was that the U.K. Version did with out some of the twiddly bits required for Type Approval for sale in Continental Europe, and had a (Courtney?) tuning chip factory fitted/flashed or whatever in the ecu, taking it up to just over 200 bhp.

Thrustyjust Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I think that that is the joy of the Westfield cars. it makes them individual , rather than clicky like Caterhams. We can have FW rears or not, V8 bonnets or not ( engine dependant that is) , half a colour and half another, wide track or not ( flappy large wing dependant ). It means you can buy as you wish. I prefer this idea , as it follows on with other things in the car to personalise, whether its orange seats or different dashes !! For one person to not like something , like the FW rear end, there are others that prefer it. Having had both now, other than the wally FW hood, I prefer the FW, as I think it refreshes the '7' shape for the future, although some want the older look.
