Another excellent example of fine engineering and premier kit car quality, the Westfield has been in production for more than thirteen years, during which time it has thoroughly proved itself on both road and track. Only the wide-bodied version of this well known roadster is made today - perhaps just as well, as the earlier standard-bodied cars were decidedly selective over the size of their drivers! There are thousands of Westfields out there, so they aren't difficult to find. With so many cars available, however, standards of assembly and finish vary greatly, especially with early examples, so it pays to be very careful when buying. But, as with the Dax Rush, a fine Westfield is a delight to own and will bring a huge smile to any face. Neatly styled, Westfields enjoy their own individual lines and their huge sales success means they're clearly much loved. Unusually, all bodywork is moulded in GRP, including the side panels and bonnet. Options are offered for the nosecone and bonnet while the rear wings can be either fixed or bolt-on, so not all cars look the same. The Westfield's chassis is another superbly engineered spaceframe assembly whose terrific strength makes the suspension work fully and so creates top levels of handling and roadholding. The front suspension is purpose designed and, while the SE uses a live rear axle, the SEi features an independent rear end. All models come with a variety of engines, most recently completed cars being powered by Ford Pinto or Zetec 2-litre units or thunderous Rover 3.5-litre V8s. Early Westfields were often fitted with Ford Crossflow engines while other examples can be found with 2-litre Vauxhall 16V and Cosworth Turbo power. Wide-bodied Westfields enjoy roomy cockpits in which anybody can get themselves comfortable and fully in control for some pure driving pleasure. The adjustable factory seats are the most desirable of all, while other excellent quality original equipment includes a very nice sculptured dashboard, hinged and lockable GRP boot lid and easily fitted weather equipment. Price-wise, you're looking at anywhere between £6000 and £12,000 for a nice car with all the right goodies. The V8 powered Westfield SEiGHT (yes, that's its name) normally sits between £9000 and £15,000. The Kitcar Classics collection usually includes several recently built examples of these fine machines - and occasionally a particularly nice or well looked-after early car. One thing we haven't yet come round to having is one of the Westfield's new wave of Honda Fireblade and Suzuki Hayabusa bike-engined blasters. They're something else again. We'll do it when we can cope!
