  1. OK, so I've been doing some digging and research through old receipts, packaging etc and picking peoples brains where possible to try and pull together a snap shot of "what came from where" at the factory. Hopefully this was all still current at the end, but without speaking to each of them I can't confirm. Note the list is provided "as is". I haven't been in communication with any of these guys, their details come from Google. I would suggest, if you want to try and see if you could obtain anything directly from one, start a thread here on the forum first, and see if you can get a few of you together, before contacting them. Goodwill, given they may be placed in awkward situations by the factory closing, may evaporate quickly if a couple of dozen people ring for the same thing!

But there they are, worth a try.

  3. For Sale: Westfield 1.6 Sigma SEiW, £10995 ono HA57 MVZ, first registered March 2008. Currently, just under 12000 miles. MOT till 25/9/2022 Well the time has come, I really need this cracking Westfield gone! The Honda is the only one getting used now, it’s 95% done, so it’s time someone else got to enjoy this pearl of a car. Bought as a last minute stop gap in 2019, from a friend; the car after a couple of little “convenience” mods, went straight into a sixteen hundred mile tour of the Alps, where other than once loose hose clip, it behaved faultlessly! The car is so light, responsive and “pointy” it really came alive on the Alpine passes, just like it does in the Peaks and in the Welsh valleys and mountains. Do not underestimate Sigma power!! (note the photos above show it with it's original crimson front arches, and the wheels from my blue car temporarily fitted. You can have the arches foc, one is damaged on the front edge from before I got it.) A little background; the car is a long term WSCC car, originally owned by Martin Van Zeller, who had the misfortune to be involved in a motorcyclists accident, (completely the bikers fault.) The damaged car was purchased from Martin by my friend, who carried out a full re-build and the Vehicle ID check certificate was issued in April 2010. Receipts for the parts replaced are included, but essentially, Nige bought a new Sport 1.6 (Sigma kit), and returned the old, damaged chassis to Westfield, who replaced it with a brand new chassis on the original VIN number. (Standard practice for damaged exchange chassis.) NO ACCIDENT DAMAGED PARTS remain on the car! The current mileage is just under 12860. (Half of which was me in the last couple of years.) It had all new (2009/10) from Westfield: · Chassis (lowered floors) · Seats · RAC Roll Bar · Dampers · Interior panels · Kick strips · Seat back finisher · Contour dash · Carbon effect lamp set · Spare wheel carrier · Number plate light · Carpet set · Nose grill · CV joint kit · Water pipe set · Hand brake · Wiper set · New bodywork in Crimson · New fuel hose · Windscreen · Widetrack front wishbones The original Sigma engine, (new at time of original build), the Type 9 gearbox and Sierra diff (Open) were undamaged, and carried across from the original car. Spec: Driveline: · Ford Sigma 1.6 litre engine new on first build, with single throttle body fuel injection and Alpha Webcon injection. · Ford Type 9 gear box, standard ratios · Sierra Open diff, C/W CV joints · Westifield exhaust manifold, inc Cat · Wunnoff custom silencer and link pipe. Braking/Suspension: · Factory Widetrack front · Standard Westfield springs/dampers · Standard Westfield fit front callipers for the Sport 1.6 kit (Discovery rear, derived) · Golf rear callipers, (So you get to enjoy a working handbrake) · Micro switch conversion from pressure switch, to ensure more consistent brake light operation Bodywork/exterior: · ZK SEiW with detachable rear arches, in Westfield Crimson with Paint Protection Film to rear arches. · Rear spare wheel carrier, inc wheel (15 wheels) · Windscreen, black frame · Full weather gear, side screens and roof plus modified frame, to clear RAC roll bar · Bespoke, fitted tonneau cover. · RAC Style roll bar. Electrical: · H4 LED (bulb) headlamp conversion for dipped/main beam, to the 5 3/4” headlamps · High level rear brake light on roll bar · New Exide maintenance free gel battery, this Spring · Bluetooth remote battery state monitor – connects to phone app. · Ctek battery charger connection. · Sterling Excel immobiliser. Interior: · Black/red trim to coordinate with body · Contour dash · Centre console with storage and USB charging point · Sports seats · Carpeted · Matt Lewis Racing shortened quick shift gear lever, Westfield aluminium gear knob · Full harnesses, (Westfield 2” type) · Drivers/passengers tunnel side storage nets · Westfield indicator timer switch. (Prevents indicators being left on, from before the advent of the Blink Stop/FreeWheel!) General Condition & Comments: Overall, very good, it’s no garage queen and has enjoyed it’s fair share of Peak District, Welsh and Alpine roads, so there are some light surface marks to the grp in the most vulnerable areas, commensurate with it’s age and milage. No major marks or damage though. There are a couple of small chips on the windscreen, again, nothing major. Internal trim is all good, though the drivers seat shows the typical “Sports Seat” usage marks. Note, the included full hood has the usual cracking hood channel problem most cars have that use the weather gear. It has been repaired and reinforced, but replacement channels are available from Westfield. The core plugs on the top of the cylinder head, (a known Sigma weak spot) were changed in 2020, see article here. The battery was changed a month or so ago to the more reliable Exide gel type, this is the equivalent size to the standard Banner so perfect for touring etc. But is completely sealed, so no levels to worry about. MoT was done on 25/9/2021. Engine oil and filter change also just carried out. (Spark plugs replaced last year when the core plugs were done). Comes with the usual folder of receipts/history/dyno print out. I also have available for purchase, separately for this car, a Hamilton Classic out door cover, (2/3 years old, in good condition), and a Westfield supplied Half Hood for RAC roll bar. If these don’t sell with the car, I’ll put individual adverts up later. These in perfect show room condition, and without the accident damage history, have gone for as much as £15000 recently. However, to reflect the history, and to avoid me needing to do a couple of small "tidy up" powder coat jobs, I'm looking for offers around £10995. I can be contacted on 07769 908575. As the car is now, for sale.

  5. Good afternoon everyone, Thought I'd say hello as a new member. Back in April I put a deposit down on a Mega S2000 with Toybox, this will be my first Westfield having never owned or even sat in one before! I'm hoping to collect the car later on this week or next. I live up in Rossendale, I think my closest area meet would be Lancashire? Does anyone know the history of the car or whether it was built/owned by any other forum members? Thanks, Alex

  10. I'm embarrassed to say @Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman isn't a handicap when he's pedalled this round on both UK and our trips to the Alps! It certainly shifts and he's enjoyed it immensely! Part of the reason his epic S2000S has taken so long to finish is because he's been out too much playing in this Sigma car instead of being on the spanners. I'm sure it will be soon snapped up and will equally delight the next owner.

  13. And with the latest Westfield World hitting the mat, another thought occurs... How many of our members who receive magazines do not ever use the forums? They may be unaware of the situation. Is it worth a snail-mail shot to those folks, assuming we can get the stats?

  31. Very true Ian, it's been a difficult one to sell; it's just so much fun to drive, even next to the S2000. The car just feels so light, so delicate, so nimble, by comparison. And compared to the big Hondas, it just can carry so much speed into a bend...

  32. About 5 years ago I was on a solo tour and had stopped to photograph a famous mountain in the area. Two foreign women holding cameras approached me and asked in very broken English if they could take photos of the Westfield. I said yes, then took a few photos of them photographing the car. As I did this, their male traveling companion approached me and asked "Car...picture...please?" Given I had just told the women it was ok, I thought it was a bit odd, but said yes before turning around to take pictures of Mt. Ranier. Those pics taken, I pivoted to see one of the women doing an awkward butt flop into my driver's seat and getting herself well and truly stuck. She was sideways to the seat, back leaned over against the hand brake, and both legs dangling over the side of the car! I guess the man was asking if he could take photos of the women in the car. -John

  35. and never take your Westfield to Le Mans (LOL) then call into a local village for supplies and end up with a wedding party using your car for photos with the happy couple and then be invited back to the reception for drinkies 😁 and careful of the police ....... I lost count of the times when parked up or refueling to have a copper pull up alongside and start talking cars etc etc ...... then asking to overtake to see how fast it goes LOL Have fun

  42. The best bit of ‘public interaction’ I’ve ever had was some years back when driving the car to work one wet morning (roof was on). Stopped at the village post office to, well, post something, and as I was clambering out of the car, a small girl cries out to her mum “mummy, how did that big fat man fit in that tiny little car???” Classic.

  43. Hello everyone. I was about to order a pair of head lamp brackets for my ‘92 SE just before the sad news about Westfied and the closing of the web shop. So as i am not yet a vampire to see in the dark, i really need head lights on my car…. If someone here can take full measurements of a bracket and the spacer, i will cut, weld, grind it myself. or if you have at least one to sell i will buy it to make a copy. I can’t borrow one because i live in south of France. thanks for your help Stéphane

  48. Afternoon all, Nick here from TigerRacing, due to unfortunate events it’s with great sadness that Westfield has gone into administration, even though it’s a competitor it’s always sad to see company’s in this industry go under especially a company as big as Westfield. That being said we also understand the great stress owners / builders of westfields will now be under. So here at Tiger we’d like to extend a helping hand to anyone with a Westfield who’s struggling for bits or parts, MOT’s or anything else. We know the fall out from this is going to affect many enthusiasts and we don’t like to see the community struggle. King regards, The Tiger Racing team
