M444TTB Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 For sale: 2000 Westfield SEiW 1.8 Zetec £7,000 ONO as a pre-Christmas reduction. Will go back to £7,500 Ono in the New Year to wait out spring. I've decided to move on from Westfield ownership to scratch a flat 6 shaped itch. Overview: Factory supplied 1999 1800Q SEIW kit built by the previous owner (an engineer for Triumph) and put on the road in 2000. It was originally yellow with SEiGHT kit-style bodywork with a windscreen and heater. I've owned it since March 2012 and have spent rather a lot over the last few years. The car has done less than 18,000 miles with the vast majority completed in the first few years post-SVA where the previous owner toured Europe. Service history during my ownership: - 5th August 2012 15,756.8 miles 4L 5w-30 fully synth Castrol Magnatec + Mahle OC606 filter - 31st August 2013 16,273.4 (+516.6) Cam belt Spark plugs Water pump 4L 5w-30 fully synth Castrol Magnatec + Mahle OC606 filter - 17th July 2014 16,923.7 (+650.3) 4.5L 5w-30 fully synth Castrol Magnatec + Mahle OC606 filter Chassis: - SEi Wide - Standard track width - Spax dampers - RAC roll bar Engine: - Ford Zetec-E 1800. Supplied by the Westfield factory as a refurbished unit. With the higher spec cams this is producing 145bhp - Dunnel water rail (no over-cooling issues) - Weber 40DCOE carbs rebuilt and tuned by BTec Racing in September 2013 - Pipercross dome filter (new in 2013) - Water pump, tensioners & cam belt replaced in 2013 - Weber Alpha PI150 electronic ignition ecu with throttle position sensor (TPS) - Ford Focus coil pack (new in 2013) - Magnecor leads (new in 2013) - Varley Red Top 25 battery (new in 2013) - Polo radiator (new in 2013) with ducting into the nose cone - Forge motorsport catch tank - Samco hosing (in blue) for coolant and oil breather Transmission: - Ford MT75 gearbox - Ford Sierra open diff Brakes & wheels: - 14" Team Dynamics wheels with Yokohama AO32R (front) and AO48 (rear) tyres - Standard M16 front callipers with Mintex 1144 pads (new in 2014) - Standard Sierra rear callipers Body: - New body (tub, nose, bonnet and detachable arches) in black fitted during winter 2013/14 by Steve at Middlewich Autos at a cost of c£2.5k.

It has done this since I acquired the car and got no worse. Clutch operation is otherwise perfect. - The car originally had a stereo and therefore has speaker holes in the rear panel. These have been covered but are still there. - The GRP boot cover isn't very good. Spares included: - Front number plate & yellow rear number plate - New steering rack - Shift lights - Spare oil filter - Aerodynamix rear arch protectors - Spare 14" wheel with Yoko AO32R tyre - Black rear panel (new) Other items for sale once car has sold: - 13" Image three piece split rims (no tyres) £550 - Aerodynamix wide front wings to suit the wheels £120 - Aerodynamix GRP seat.

M444TTB Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 A few more pictures of the suspension etc. The passenger seat is out while I await the new harness to arrive (only 1 was in stock). It's worth pointing out, if not obvious that the chassis and general underside reflects the age and mileage. However while the body was off the chassis was treated and tidied up in key (hidden!) areas to keep it sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTR2Turbo Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Good luck with the sale. It's good that you have posted pictures openly but personally I would invest some time sorting the worst of the rust especially on the rear wishbones as it could deter potential buyers. Please take as constructive feedback David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
