Westfield SEiW Sport 220 Ecoboost - Q900VAB - **SOLD**

[Beechy89]

Hello all, 

 

With a heavy heart - I am putting my Westfield SEiW Sport 220 Ecoboost up for sale - Q900VAB. This is solely due to the funding of a personal business of mine, alongside this I haven’t had too much opportunity to get it out of the garage. I purchased the vehicle through a former member and believe the car is well known and has been featured in a couple of magazines prior and was owned by Tim Reid. 

 

Since ownership, I have kept the vehicle the same - with regular maintanence. Recently back in February over to Northampton Motorsport for a full head to toe service alongside an MOT. It has been garaged since this period and covered in the garage. 

 

This is an absolute beast of a car with an amazing whistle of the turbo and wastegate make this car entertaining to drive and the sheer power can propel the lightweight car to high speed in seconds. At low RPM it can quietly pootle through villages with plenty of low down torque when you need to open it up. 

 

Originally a factory built limited edition (14 of 15) SEiW Sport featuring; independent suspension, wide body, detachable rear arches and floor mounted pedals. A registration, so easy to MOT with no emissions testing and no harder to insure than any other vehicle. 

 

The last owner owned the vehicle for 14 years prior to myself. Giving it great care and continually improving it. I took it on myself as something to simply enjoy with a hunger for something a little bit crazy! However unfortunately, no track days were had and time spent driving the car has been limited. There was a major rebuild to bring it up to date with a 16 Ecoboost engine (dual variable valve timing system, drive by wire throttle, Direct injection and turbocharged engine from a Fiesta ST180, as standard 220bhp on SCS Delta ECU but it can easily be increased and go up to 400bhp). Mazda N7 (MX5 Mk3) gearbox, AIM digital dash, full Siltech suspension set up including ARBs, micro adjusters, wide track. Big brake kit with bias adjustment, 3 piece image wheels. Lightweight alternatator, battery, bodywork and steering column. Quick release steering wheel, limited slip differential LSD, quick rack, lots of real carbon fibre including a number of customer parts which are extremely rare. The vehicle was weighed in at 584kg down from 740kg but should be a little less - I haven’t had it weighed recently. The previous owner of this really took care and attention to the build and you can feel it in the drive and see from the pictures. 

 

And mentioned prior the vehicle was featured in National Kit Car magazine and always gets positive attention wherever you go! 

 

Servicing has been done annually regardless of how few miles were driven. Please note the comments on the MOT records: 

- 1996-2005 = Pre DVLA online records but you can see what’s in the huge folder which will come with the car. 

- June 2006 = 9343 miles

- June 2007 = 10,674 miles

- June 2008 = unknown (not read by the MOT tester but 12,000 miles) 

- July 2009 = new Zetec engine installed at 14,151 miles with new odometer showing 0 miles. MOT shows 16 miles. DVLA informed. 

- July 2010 = 12,140 (MOT tester misread the odometer! Was actually 1,214 miles as confirmed by subsequent and previous years).

- June 2011 = 24,842 miles (MOT tester misread the odometer! Was actually 2,482 miles as confirmed by previous and subsequent years).

- July 2012 = 3236 miles

- July 2013 = 3982 miles

- July 2014 = 4904 miles

- July 2015 = 5396 miles

- August 2016 = 6214 miles

 

- 2017 off road due to rebuild

- 2018 off road due to rebuild

 

- September 2019 - 3 miles due to new Ecoboost engine and Mazda gearbox. DVLA informed. 

 

- August 2020 = 382 miles

- August 2021 = 1045 miles

- 2022 = off road SORN (I believe) 

- March 2023 = 1508 miles 

- Vehicle purchased by myself in May 2023

It has now peaked over 2000 miles will need to confirm this and update the advert! However, there is a HUGE arch leaver of every receipt, drawing of wiring loom, pluming diagrams, and the rebuild is published for all to see on WSCC. The car was originally stored in a garage its entire life and had a dehumidifier running for the past 10 years. I have continued on with this since my ownership. 

 

Please let me know if you have any questions regarding the car itself and I’ll be sure that I answer them for you. I am looking for £16,850.00 o.n.o. Please don’t hesitate to get in contact. Viewings can be arranged if serious buyer.

Lovely car, good luck with the sale 👍 

[Beechy89]

Thank you! It’s a shame that I can’t keep it 🥲 But needs must and the business must go on… I’d really love it to go to a member on here to be honest. 

[LoneWolf]

Really an astonishing car. Just beautiful 👌

[Grumus]

Hi, I have sent you a DM. 👍

[Beechy89]

£16,250.00 - still for sale 🥲

[Beechy89]

Final reduction - the car MUST GO! £14,500!!! 🥺

 

I took the car for a run out on the weekend and runs like an absolute dream since it’s service! I’ll miss the smiles and nods of appreciation that this thing gets, however I’m sure the next owner would be incredibly pleased with it. Please message me on here.

Absolute steal for that money, can't believe it's still for sale. It's even got a full build thread:

Thank you for your kind words! It’s painful putting it on for that but needs must - it almost feels criminal due to the amount of work that’s gone into this. 😔

Forgot to mention, albeit the 1.6 Ecoboost doesn't look that common in Westfields, people like SBD Motorsport and Gemzoe Motorsport are using it successfully on their cars, pushing it well over 300bhp. So they have a wide range of special parts if you need them

I suspect, that with the new driving season  just ahead of us, it may well bring either new folks or lapsed members back into the fold. I really would not be reducing the car any more than you already have, it's worth far more as we all know. Without prying, have you tried other avenues to inject more into the business and then get to keep the car, or is all been done - I don't want details that's your affair. 

 

ETA I quoted the incorrect reduced post, oh well.

[Beechy89]

This is true - at £14,500 I know I am selling for under what I should be completely. It most likely made it worse that I took it out weekend just gone for a run up the road to ensure everything was in order - turned out to be a perfect day and the car ran like a dream! 🥹

 

Although a struggle, I have built up my business with all available savings etc. It’s actually a vehicle transport business for anyone that’s interested at all! 😅 Unfortunately I am at the perils of DVSA waiting on an O Licence (due to the vehicle that I run weighs just over the cusp of the 2040kg kerb weight). But this can take up to 9 weeks and I’m mid-way through with the hope of gaining my ‘interim O Licence’ shortly - hence the SALE. 

 

I’ll likely post this in the group at some point if anyone ever needs their Westfields/ any other vehicles moved around the country for that matter… 🛣️

[Richard (OldStager)]

Thanks, yes you should publicise yourself on here if it will help bring in more work, we all need cars moving about and companies like yours are invaluable to many of us. I will make a note of you now, as I am planning on a classic car purchase this year (If all goes to plan) , so it would be far easier for me to contact someone like yourself and collect the vehicle, rather than working out how to shift it myself.

Good luck with everything.

Good luck with the sale, it's a corker of a car! (Seen it in the flesh a few times)
