daveclow Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 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.

Ansoeb Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 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 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

Mighty Mart Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossins Posted Sunday at 11:43 Share Posted Sunday at 11:43 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
