If you do a search on autotrader for Westfields, the model options come up as:

Any

1600

1800

7

Mega

Megabird

Megablade

SEi

spot the odd one out.

possibly more worrying is that searching for the Westfield 7 does actually come up with one!  

Where is the Seight?  and Megabusa?

A Westfield 7 is a pre-lit (pre-litigation) car which was a copy of a Series 3 Lotus Seven and got Westfield in hot water with c******m who sued them, hence litigation. Westfield can no long use the design or the number 7 for any of their cars.

Now how could I get number 7 in my race series  

[Mark Stanton]

No-one can use the number 7 or word seven in conjunction with open top sevenesque cars cos c******m have the rights to it - so there aren't any RH 7 or Dutt 7 or Dax 7 either -and a lot of clubs aren't allowed to call themselves "7" either              Just ask the friendly Belgium and (7 no longer) Roadster Club          

[Martin Young]

I believe the kit car mags were even stopped from using the word 'sevenesque' as well. Instead they use Lotus or c******m seven inspired !!
