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. 1 Quote

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 ? 1 Quote

I actually quite like the MNR front end too. Bit of an acquired taste but it stands out from the crowd. 1 Quote

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

I believe most of them have a De Dion rear suspension, although recently I found out the the CSRs have fully independent suspension. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Dion_suspension https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caterham_7_CSR 1 Quote
Andrzej Posted May 1, 2024 Posted May 1, 2024 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 . Powerfull antidepressant 3 Quote
