Is this really a Westie?

[Kingster]

I know it says "custom widetrack wishbones" and "bodywork is from various models" - but this looks more like a Locost ringer to me:

Especially as it's been "converted to IRS all round" too!

 

Lot of money for something that just looks plain wrong!

[Mark (smokey mow)]

I'm not seeing many (if any) westfield parts used on it

[Lyonspride]

They've put westfield in the title to catch more searches.

[Captain Colonial]

Well, that's...ummmm...errrr... that's unique.

[Paulm3]

Looks more like a Locost or MNR type 7.

Its more than just that.

Could fire a question asking what the V5 has it down as!

I was wondering that myself!

 I already have a few hours ago ...  Great minds hey dhutch!

 

What could possible go wrong with a home-tuned 350bhp homegrown car?! And all you have to do is wind the turbo up to 500bhp, simple as that! £18k? Bargain!

Indeed, let us know the outcome.

- Assuming it as as we expect, bare minimum has got to be an email/report to eBay to it down.

It could be that the chassis underneath that is Westfield or has some in it. You can rebody a car so long as the chassis is basically the same. The conversion to IRS is probably a step too far perhaps. The pedal box looks like an early Westfield escort type if you look at the cover, so may have some or all of a genuine chassis.

I think the rest is a mixture of MNR, MK.

 

If it is a ringer then it needs reporting, but I would want more information.

[Kingster]

I don't think the chassis is an MK - as they have the Catering Van (and Pre-Lit) sloping tube near the cockpit / rear arch area.

 

Otherwise difficult to tell as the bodywork is so obviously non-Westfield and he states that the wishbones are non-standard.

 

The rack doesn't look like an Escort type neither - more like the shortened Sierra ones MK use.

 

Personally I think it's a dog's dinner and no way is it worth half the asking price (IMHO).

[SelfMadeTramp]

MK Indy surely.......

MK Indy surely.......

Bodywork maybe, chassis no, unless modified.

[Dibby]

Apparently it's a Westfield on the V5, must be chassis only.

Or a ringer
