16,900 miles.

This car is a genuine 1999 T reg having been built using all new parts.  I have owned this car since September 2009.  The car may still be well known in Westfield circles because the previous owner is a former Area Organiser of the Westfield Sports Car Club and highly experienced in modifying, rebuilding and “setting up” Westfield cars.  Throughout my 9 year ownership he has continued to service and maintain the car.  He will be willing to speak to any prospective new owner.

Having known this car a long time, the photos barely do it justice, great though they are.

I’ve never seen another Westfield like this one, it’s been almost legendary in the Cheshire area for the care and detail it’s had lavished on it for all those years.

You won’t find one as clean! Well known car, meticulously maintained and cared for. 

Good luck with your sale Matt

Oh noooooooooo!

(is it wrong of me Matt, to hope it wouldn’t sell! Though I know it’s for the best and makes sense.

End of an era. 

[MattCrofts]

Thanks Dave.  Not wrong of you at all ‘cos I agree that it’s probably a unique car in terms of spec, build quality, setup and cleanliness.  Indeed the end of an era, but the car is going to a passionate owner who will continue its story.
