I know I'm biased but I actually think Westfields are better looking than Caterhams.

Likewise, perhaps bias, but I think the falling out with Caterham was the best thing that could have happened to Westfield SC. Although to the average guy in the street it is a Caterham because that's all he has seen on TopGear and the likes.

Me too! I think it is the narrower nose which makes it look better.

And longer, the Caterham to me looks a little bit 'stubby-nosed'

I would add that better than any other  7-type car. MK, GBS, GKD/DMO, MNR.. maybe Donkevoort wins there, but that is supercar category rather than simple lightweight straight 7-type. 

But saing that, all 7 type looks and are great!

 

I have heard that this falling out with caterham ended with independent suspension rear in Westfields too  (to differentiate Westfield from Caterham) . Not sure if this is true ?

I actually quite like the MNR front end too. Bit of an acquired taste but it stands out from the crowd.

I think I may have read that also. Independent rear had to be a better idea right? What do modern day Caterhams have?

I believe most of them have a De Dion rear suspension, although recently I found out the the CSRs have fully independent suspension.

Modern have Independent too.  But I have read in that time Westfield need to do sth different to be different . And did that in good direction.

 

MNR well I have to like it as I am building one but its not so smile realase desingn as Westfield's. 

Not metion so helpfull and friendly community as for Westfields! I am proud to have WSCC stickers on Westfields. And -  You look at Westfield and just smile  ! I love that topic just too look at all that cars .
