pre lit type rear end work ,all seems odd but hay ho

[Matt Seabrook]

Engine is a long way back

[stephenh]

How can it be MOT'd until July 2011?

All very dodgey.

[dombanks]

nice colour tho..

[Mark Stanton]

don't forget that Pre-lit bodywork is not available unless by special order and returning old bodywork and that standard narrow body SE bodywork does fit onto a pre lit chassis              so quite easy to have a pre-lit rear end and an SE narrow front          

Modified chassis presumably some cutting and fettling involved to get engine so far back - if done right would be o.k ...... just needs a check over and look see

Looks like it's a Caterham wannabe

Yeah, it may well be a cracking car at a cracking price.

- But what it isnt is a new, 2008 plate, westfeild.

why not Email or ring him as his advert suggests rather than speculate on here

Read the rest of it guys

2.0 Zetec Custom Westfield, genuine westfield body work on a modified westfield chassis. features include

1994 2.0 zetec (rebuilt 2500 miles ago)

griffin power injection system

omex ecu

raceline water rail

AEM wideband lambda sensor

DIGIDASH

I assume its 94 car re built 2008 , but clever wording

[peterg]

No, it says first registered July 2008 (hence needing an MOT in July 2011 as well)  

and my 1990 Westfield had a 1994 zetec engine in it to so does that make it a 1994 car or a 2008 car or a 1990 car

Don't be so quick to write it off. It does say custom westfield. Speak to the owner he'll probably tell you all the reasons. Engine further back could be to improve handling I guess.

possibly built 94 and unregisterd until 2008 ?

plenty track cars etc are un registered , could have been one perhaps  

otherwise I give up , maybe he has  a tardis for sale as well

Surely it's simply a Locost built using part of an original Westfield chassis....

That's my best guess...

I had the same fleeting thought...
