Nick Algar - Competition Secretary Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 Bit of a heavy heart as I post this, but having bought the car part built and then finished it off I've now had it on the road for a while and been driving it around but it's not for me. I'm too much of a speed freak and unlikely to change. But that was the main reason for buying it to scratch that itch. Westfield XI for sale. New car, only registered in Feb 2018. Car 48 of a commemorative edition of 50. Negligible miles. All donor vehicle parts fully reconditioned, the engine capacity was increased to 1330cc to give a better performance and converted to unleaded fuel. Twin SU carburettors, set-up by a period specialist to give excellent starting and running. Minilite wheels, Mountney period Red leather steering wheel, front anti roll bar, Tonneau cover. Lots of other details, call to discuss. £ 19,995 07770 nine three 4 673 or PM me here.
Nick Algar - Competition Secretary Posted May 23, 2018 Author Posted May 23, 2018 Lots of views on here but no interest??? Anyone like an XI for summer now we actually have some sun, then give me a call
Thrustyjust Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 Its a stunning example of an 11, Nick. Good luck with it finding a new home. 1
MK11 Posted June 6, 2018 Posted June 6, 2018 Hi Nick, Have you tried it on a track yet? I swapped mine for an Ultima which would certainly scratch you need for speed, but I am currently trying to sell the Ultima as I had much more fun in the XI. The car is beautifully balanced on track, the low grip perfectly matched the low power and I could slide the car round to my heart's content. Yes, I was never going to be the fastest on track, but it cost beans for a set of tyres that lasted forever. I sold mine to a guy in Finland. 1

Not tried it on track, but don't need to as I've had so many track cars over the years I can feel what it's going to be like from the road driving and you are right. They are a beautifully balanced car that could provide a lot of slower speed fun. But still not for me. My current race-car DJ Firehawk is also beautifully balanced but just a bit quicker As for other road cars, very happy with my weekend one, not much goes past 1
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted June 6, 2018 Posted June 6, 2018 And the prize for massive understatement of the year at every turn, goes to Nick! That post had everything bar the virtual mic. drop at the end of it. 1
