Skypeller Posted December 24, 2017 Posted December 24, 2017 might view a couple of site members cars yet but just seeing what’s about before I take the plunge! I’m looking for a Westfield kit car im an industrial engineer in my very early 30’s, I used to own some escorts and an Opel manta gte before having a spate of 2.8 & 3.0 bmw coupes, golf gtis, Focus st’s etc. Love cars and always have! I have experience a day with a caterham super seven with an XE on itbs in the Cotswolds in November. This has confirmed my love for seven style cars !! Im happy with my daily car (focus st) so I don’t want to sell that to fulfill my usual itch for a different car! Anyway, narrow or wide I’m not bothered which. Don’t want poorly built one but it doesn’t matter if it needs a little tinkering as long as I can drive it home. I’m based in Herefordshire, don’t mind travelling if it’s a good car with no rust on chassis or major gel coat disasters. Obviously expecting some light cracks etc for the money I’m wanting to spend. Ideally with the following car engine on twin carbs or itbs; Kent/crossflow engine Pinto Zetec Xe or Vauxhall’s redtop engine (although these are probably just out of my budget) will consider a well tuned CVH but isn’t my first choice. I’m looking to pay going rate for a nice one but not towards 5 figures sorry! Will pay Cash or bank transfer for the right car!
Terry Everall Posted December 24, 2017 Posted December 24, 2017 Good luck wth your search. A more approx price might help you find one
Skypeller Posted December 24, 2017 Author Posted December 24, 2017 Thank you depends on spec really sub 5k for basic crossflow early car with bench seats through 7k for a fair condition zetec powered one with the later seats or even high spec crossflow in really nice condition! I’ve watched the market a bit so have an idea what’s what (I hope lol)
Skypeller Posted December 24, 2017 Author Posted December 24, 2017 I would spend a bit more but upsizing house move near Worcester is imminent
GaryH Posted December 24, 2017 Posted December 24, 2017 Hi Jody Good luck with search. You're welcome to come and look at my car (sigma engine), or Mike's car (crossflow engine) so you can see two different approaches for a starting point. When you've got some time PM me and we'll sort out a visit. Gary
Skypeller Posted December 24, 2017 Author Posted December 24, 2017 Hi Gary sounds like an offer I can’t refuse especially with the Christmas holidays freeing up some time! Cheers jody

Skypeller Posted May 6, 2018 Author Posted May 6, 2018 BUMP keen and ready to get myself a Westy. Been dithering a lot lately with lots of work and preparing a house to potentially sell real soon. Feel free to pm me with what you have or what your friend/neighbour etc may have for sale perhaps I should have got one in the winter ..... they’re selling like hot cakes I notice lately
Andy_R Posted May 7, 2018 Posted May 7, 2018 I'll be selling 'Roary' at the end of this month if you are interested. I'm based in Wakefield and will be putting her through the MOT later this month (I don't expect any problems during this). It's had a lot of work to make it a lovely example so I'll probably be putting this up for £6500.00 ono. I haven't written the advert yet but here is the basic spec ... 1990 Westfield SEiW Full Service History with LOTS of Original Paperwork Known vehicle in the Peak District & Yorkshire WSCC groups (ask @Julie Hall - AO Representative, Peak District AO or @Robin (Red Spider) - Yorkshire AO) It's HPI clear and I have the HPI documents to prove this Will come with 12 months MOT (starting 1st June when it's booked in for the MOT) Only selling as I now have a V8 SEiGHT and can't justify keeping both despite @Julie Hall - AO Representative, Peak District AO and her other half trying to tempt me to do so yesterday at Stoneleigh. 1650cc Crossflow Engine (Rebuilt 2014) Twin Dellorto 40’s Ramair Filter Piper 285 Cam Big Valve Head Oil Catch Tank Thermostat Fan Switch Modified Distributor with Correct Curve Optima Red Top Battery New Wunoff Exhaust Gearbox: 4 Speed Type 3 Brakes (Front): M16 Calipers & Mintex 1144 Pads Brakes (Rear): Escort RS Drums Dampers: Original Westfield Spax English Rear Diff Momo Removeable Steering Wheel 14” Alloys (Only 1,000 miles on the tyres) 20mm Rear Wheel Spacers Wind Deflectors Soft Bits Half Hood Full Wet Weather Gear Brand New Carpet (From Westfield) ... which makes the interior look AMAZING Hi-Back Seats on Runners Lockable Boot Lid Map Pockets New Wing Mirrors, Wipers, Starter Solenoid Good Body Work Roll Bar has just been Powder Coated Work required is limited unless you want to upgrade it some more ... we all do have the case of upgradeitus :-) Currently needs the handbrake fixing (which will be done before the MOT) Exhaust is slightly larger than the original and could do with another bracket (it moves about a bit and could be taken slightly further away from the body) Has a couple of cracks in the gel coating around the wing bolts but the body work is lovely (I've taken this to a number of car shows and it doesn't embarrass) The steering column could do with adjustment (steering wheel isn't perfectly straight when wheels are in line) Pictures taken at Silverstone last year. I will have more but don't plan to do this before the MOT. You are welcome to take a look but please note it's currently in a storage locker and isn't MOT'd.
