Unique 1987 Westfield 7SE for sale

[Gerry R]

Here's your chance to buy a unique 7SE!  I reckon this must be the first fully independently suspended Westfield around - built that way in 1987.

Full spec below:

• Pre-lit car, purchased by me as kit in 1987, built by me (qualified engineer) and owned by me ever since.
• Chassis number 87SE517
• Q plate
• Originally built around Lotus twin-cam engine – re-engineered approximately 9 years ago.
• 2 Litre Zetec engine – standard but for full Weber Alpha throttle body/ignition system and custom stainless exhaust (4>2>1 – JP Exhausts, Macclesfield).
• Dunnell baffled aluminium shallow sump and aluminium oil catch tank
• MT75 5 speed box, with Westfield gear shift system.
• Dunnell lightweight flywheel and heavy duty clutch - with hydraulic pull-cylinder actuation.
• Aluminium radiator (Polo, I think) with thermostatically controlled fan
• Dual system brakes, with floor-mounted pedal box.  Wilwood 4 pot callipers at front, drilled/grooved and vented discs. Aluminium front hubs.  Drilled/grooved discs at rear, with alloy callipers (and cable-operated handbrake)
• Fully independent rear suspension system, designed and built by me – based on Sierra diff (3.62, I think), shortened Sierra driveshafts, Sierra hubs etc. Custom-cast aluminium uprights/hub carriers. Custom-made top and bottom wishbones.
• Narrow Escort quick-rack (centre part of rack shortened to put ball joints in correct plane with inboard suspension pick-up points)
• Top inner suspension pivots repositioned.  All suspension mods designed and modelled using Allan Staniforth’s excellent ‘Race and Rally Car Source Book’
• Original springs and shocks replaced with AVO units in the last 6 years or so, with very few miles since.
• Team Dynamics ProRace 1.2 wheels – 7x15” – brand new in 2008 and hardly any miles since
• Toyo Proxes tyres - 205/50 x 15 rear and 195/50 x 15 front – as above.
• Richfield RX777 seats and black 3 point harnesses
• Small side-screens/wind deflectors
• No full weather equipment (drive fast enough and you don’t get wet!) but there is a slightly tatty tonneau cover included
• ESP front cycle wings (plastic) and late style Westfield wing brackets
• Lockable aluminium luggage box behind seats
• MOT’d in July 2013

Having put a huge amount of work and a great deal of money into this car, I wont be letting it go unless I get what its worth.  I'd like offers over £8,000 please.

Email me on mountain.mule@live.co.uk for more information. The car is in Cumbria.

Cheers, Gerry
