Rory's Dad Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 HISTORY This Westfield was built from a brand new standard wide-bodied kit by Leon Boutell. I bought it in 2007 with 9,000 miles on the clock. It's now done about 30k all told, most of it in Yorkshire (where I became Yorkshire AO). We have now retired to Norfolk but the car has also been down to Cornwall and up to Northumberland for holidays too. So, it’s great for trips out and for touring but we’ve also been to trackdays at Croft, Cadwell, Blyton, RAF Marham and Snetterton where it’s performed brilliantly. It’s been modified and improved to my requirements and currently weighs just over 600kg. I’m selling it as I now have a Rocketeer MX-5 with a 3.0L V6!

I also have plenty of books and loose-leaf folders full of all the usual stuff, receipts, etc. ** SOLD ** This Westfield, with a fresh MOT at the beginning of August and next to no miles since, is offered at £8,000 or thereabouts. I also have a Brian James Minno Max trailer which has been fully serviced and has 4 newish tyres. It will be offered in the first instance to the buyer of the car for an additional £1,000. If you have any questions, please contact me via PM on this site, by text or phone on 07887 491212 or by email mavanzeller@sky.com. I’m happy to show you the car and to take you out for a short blast round the local roads all in accordance with Covid-19 instructions. The photos that follow are in date order.

jim_l Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 A tough time to sell a car that is ostensibly a toy, but this is just so much car for that money. If I didn't have one I'd snap this up. Just browse the spec, it is an assembly of parts you probably couldn't buy for 12k and some. If you don't desperately need the space or the money it is better in your garage until some post Covid spring, Jim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 That is cracking value! Having set the car up I can confirm it's a good un. Yes it has been used plenty, but that just proves good reliability! Best of luck with the sale, Martin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
