Richard M Green Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Having competed in the Westfield Speed Series for seven seasons, the Green/Dean Racing Westfield is finally up for sale: Engine: Fuel Injected Rover K Series 1600 Scholar Evo II block (fixed thicker liners) Omega forged pistons Arrow Precision Steel Rods ARP Rod bolts Piper 740 cams with vernier pulleys Cylinder head modified to Dave Andrews' spec with REC big valves Colisbro valve guides Emerald M3DK Engine Management EU3 head (coil on plug i.e. distributorless type) Jenvey Direct To Head Throttle Bodies Pace Dry Sump system (2 scavenge, 1 pressure stage) inc Pace cast sump, remote filter housing and Pace tank Powerspeed 4-2-1 Stainless Steel bespoke exhaust Magnetron geared starter motor Lightened Alternator Silicon coolant pipes and Polo radiator All rotating/reciprocating parts balanced by Steve Smith at Vibration Free The engine was built under the watchful eye of Dave Andrews and subsequently mapped by Dave Walker, and is producing >;185bhp and cheerfully revs beyond 8500.

The car was built by me in 2000, using a 1999 factory race chassis, originally with a Crossflow, then received the K Series for 2003. It is SVA'd and fully road legal, on a 1975 'N' suffix plate. As you can see from the spec, there is little that could be done to take the car further in terms of technical spec; it really does have all the toys... and weighs around 500kg. In 2006 I had class wins at Llys Y Fran and at Longleat, with a 2nd at Abingdon – it is a very capable car. The car is wired for, but not with, a Race Technology Data Logger. The car has probably cost me c £25,000 from the start: the engine alone cost somewhere in the region of £8000 to build, and that spec from Minister would be £12,000+. Obviously I'm realistic and not expecting to recover anywhere near that amount, hence the price of £7,250. Why am I selling it? I only did two speed events in 2007/8, and I've just bought a new project, so need some space….. The car is located in North West Hampshire. Please PM me for any further information.
