kik1.6se Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 The Westfield is a 1997 SE (1995 kit) Body: Narrow Se body Swept Wings Highline bonnet Interior: All VDO guages Intatrim ranger seats Side panels and carpeted Engine: 1.6CVH Built by Ferriday engineering: A power graph and some info on the engine can be found on Ferridays web site: http://www.ferriday.co.uk/performance/solid_lifters.shtml I brought this engine from Mark a few years ago. It was brought as a brand new engine from Ford and fitted to Marks Westfield: 1.6 CVH solid tappets ported and polished head vernier cam pulley twin webber dcoe carb's I fitted all new silicon hoses when I fitted the engine. Transmission: Type 9 5 speed (sierra) 1.3 mk2 Escort axle with standard open diff Brakes: m16 calipers with ferrodo pads 1.3mk2 escort drums with RS2000 wheels cylinders (to give more braking force) Steering: Westfield supplied quickrack Suspension: front: gaz Rear: Protec Wheels: 13"x6" Minator minilight wheels yokoA539 tyres I the last few years I have changed: front wishbones front calipers all wheel bearings steering rack drums, shoes, fitting kit, wheel cylinders all shocks and springs side screens (brand new from Westfield) Custom made silencer (by JP exhausts) New electric speedo and rev counter Wheels and tyres MOT is july, I'll have to check the exact date. Bad bits: Wiring to rear lights needs repairing. I did a temporary job to keep the car on the road, but Ideally it needs redoing. There is a connection block where the loom plugs into the wiring for the rear lights and this had corroded, so I by-passed it. There are some small cracks in the body and the colour has faded slightly. One of the rear wheel bearings has a very slight leak. It needs the half shaft pulling out again and sealing. That said it is a fully working car and it only needs tax for it to be back on the road. It really is a great car though and still looks good. I have been to Le Mans 3 times in it, done 4 coast 2 coast drives, took part in the Long way north trip, and done loads of classic and kit car shows and wscc and pistonheads meets. I take it off the road in winter so it doesn't see any salt. THese were taken last year when I replaced wishbones, rear wheel bearings, brakes etc: I have pictures on my photobucket site: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v302/kik106rallye/?start=260 Photos of the new engine going in: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v302/kik106rallye/?start=500 £4750 It is currently sorn. Located in Stockport. Please note that as I'm in Cardiff viewings of the car will have to be organised in advance as I'll have to travel back.

johnq Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 i think youve undervalued it a little kirk, as i remember from TLWN, it is a nice little car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kik1.6se Posted March 8, 2009 Author Share Posted March 8, 2009 Thanks If I set the price to how much I love it, it would be a lot, lot higher . My ex girlfriend kept saying she thought I loved the Westfield more than her. I think she was on to some thing there . But as stated the car is in Stockport and I'm in Cardiff. I am tempted to leave it stored, as a back up toy, maybe use it for some kit car shows etc, but in reality if I keep it, it will become a garge orniment, which would be a shame.

pistonbroke2 Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 This car is a cracker . It is well known in the Northwest and has has been around in some great company. Any one looking for a bargain look no further as Kirk is selling a cracker of a car here. And having owned a simular Wessy with the same CVH power plant from Ferriday I can tell you that some-one is going to get a mighty little snip.

Buzz Billsberry Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Got to agree with the comments on here. Kirk looks after his cars, this is a bargin for a truely honest well looked after motor, and most importantly its extremely reliable . If you looking for your first westy this is the 1 to go for. Kirk has spent many happy hours in this car, ok most of it a sleep!!! kirk is the Euroblats tour cat and we call him Jess!! Buzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
