Westfield 1700 Crossflow - £8900

Recommended Posts

For sale is my lovely Westfield 1700 Crossflow with twin webber 45’s, finished in Audi Nardo Grey.

It underwent a full restoration in 2017 with a new carpeted interior, Williams harnesses, sports bucket seat, team dynamics wheels with Kumho v700 tyres amogst other things. All work is documented with receipts in the service history file. It was then repainted in Audi Nardo Grey in 2022 as part of a covid lockdown project. It’s a real head turner and I very often chat to passers by who fall in love with how it looks and sounds.

 

A bit about the spec:

  • Current mileage on the odometer is 2437 miles
  • 1700 Ford Crossflow with twin webber 45 carbs
  • Type 9 5-speed gearbox
  • Sports exhaust
  • SPAX coilovers
  • Team Dynamics 13” alloys
  • Kumho v700 tyres
  • Sports seats with Williams harnesses.
  • Weber throttle linkage
  • Reconditioned Lucas starter motors with new internals
  • To the best of my knowledge it has a Sierra/Westfield rear diff
  • MOT is valid until June 16th 2024.
  • Side doors included
  • Wet weather hood included (but needs poppers installing to be able to use it)
  • Seat runners included but not fitted (I am tall so have the seat bolted to the floor as far back as it goes.

 

I installed a new Weber throttle linkage last Autumn before she went away for the winter, and since this upgrade it would benefit from a carb tune up to get it running its best. I sadly don’t have the skills or time. I have adjusted the asking price accordingly. In my ownership I have also had the Lucas starter motor rebuilt.

 

If you are new to 7 cars don’t be put off by the xflow option. The car has a little over 100bhp so it goes well, but most of all it’s an authentic experience and the carbs sound wonderful. The car is the closest thing I’ve driven to a kart. It handles like it’s on rails.

 

I’ve owned it for 2 years and I’m selling the car as I have a young family and I now need something that I can throw the kids in the back at the weekends. If anyone had a Mini Cooper JCW R56 or F56 I’d be interested in a px.

 

Thanks all. Any other questions just ask.

That is just stunning, very clean indeed. If I had not purchased a car last year I would’ve had this one. Good luck with the sale

Thanks. Ive always been a fan of the nardo. I've got my eyes on a Mini JCW in grey now. I'm not aware of the French market reference, what's the score there?

Any 7 type car over 30 yrs is easy to import for the French, and 7 type cars are gaining in popularity over there, pushing the prices up.

A much more modern type westfield cannot be imported into France IIRC

The car is not 30years old yet 

Ive run the reg and it was registered 1998 so its 4 years short at the moment

Very good. And actually may well be true!

Great car. Reminds me of my first Westfield 20+ yrs ago. Wool pulled over my eyes with big end bearings goosed. Engine rebuilt with 150bhp at flywheel (Motorscope tuned carbs). Fantastic engine.

Any idea where the Westfield boot badge is from? Looks really well! 😃

Sorry I’m not 100% but I think it was EBay!

Update: it’s booked in for an MOT this coming Friday, after which obviously it’ll have a full year MOT.

Im open to offers on the price.

I don't know how I missed this post, anyway, a great car and a fair price for spec. I was going to ask the age, but that's posted above, shame you can't keep it a tad longer and it would sell very easily - Albeit getting exported... Someone will get a real classic sound when they buy this.

I just cannot understand why this has not sold, it's a stonking little thing. I can only imagine a lot of owners these days maybe want a more modern and powerful engine but no Westfield is ever slow and this one looks a peach to me!
