Gerry R Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 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. Pictures here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/100059860@N03/ 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
