Westfield Winter Project FOR SALE
For Sale is my Westfield SEiW (Wide Independent rear suspension) first registered in 1991 on Q plate.
This is an ideal winter project for someone. It has genuinely got 99% of the parts needed to build it. I haven’t had an open cheque book to buy things
for the car but wherever possible I have gone to SBD for engine / transmission parts, Westfield for nuts and bolts etc etc etc. The beauty of this
project is that there in NO IVA REQUIRED!!!
I purchased the car through the WSCC boardroom off Bananaman who inturn had purchased the car from the Westfield factory a couple of years ago.
The car was originally fitted with a 1600 X-Flow engine and yellow body work which was quite faded. Since then a lot of work has gone into stripping
it down but due to my circumstances I am unable to complete the rebuild. I would prefer to sell as an uncompleted project rather than split, however I
have not ruled this out!
CHASSIS :
I stripped the chassis back and gave it to SteveD who professionally blasted it, welded all of the rivet holes, dressed them back, added a lowered
floor plan (ideal for the taller driver!) and some additional supports. It was then treated and painted with POR15. The chassis has now been
re-panelled and sealed using blind rivets supplied by Westfield. There is an aluminium sheet to go under the engine and cover the diff at the back
should the new owner wish to have a flat floor throughout.
SUSPENSION:
The car comes with £500 worth of Alloy Bodied / Rose Jointed Avo coilovers all round.
BRAKES :
At the rear of the car the rear uprights have been converted from drum breaks to disks (not a cheap mod!).
DRIVE TRAIN :
The car is an early SEiW so comes with an escort type diff in Westfield’s own housing.
Engine…
The engine is a Vauxhall 1600VX 16v. The engine was purchased by Bananaman through the boardroom and I have since sent it to Perksy who has done a
fantastic job servicing and improving it. Fitted to a SBD high flow manifold are twin Webber 40’s that have been fully cleaned, serviced and painted,
high performance SBD 4-2-1 low-line exhaust manifold (this is the top of the range manifold capable of well over 200bhp applications!), SBD alloy
bellhousing VX to Type 9, standard clutch pressure plate & flywheel. It comes with a DTA engine management system, brand new engine mounts,
alternator and starter motor. It is fitted with a RWD sump.
I will post up a full report about what work has been done to it (when I find where I have saved it!!) but it included things like replaced timing
kit, ARP rod bolts etc etc. Performance silencer in excellent condition!
Gearbox…
Refurbished type 9 gearbox complete with mounts
There is basically basically everything you need to fit it to a Westfield however I would recommend a new clutch plate and clutch release arm.
The car comes rolling on very nice lightweight 13” minilites with Yokohama A539 185/60R13 tyres.
ELECTRICS :
I have purchased a 12 month old loom off a car that had been written off which was working before it was removed so should make the electrics a
doddle! Brand new lights, front and rear, horn etc.
EXTERIOR :
Bodywork…
I have a full set of brand new bodywork from Westfield (Fixed arch tub, Scuttle, Botbox, Cycle wings (these are not new but in good un faded
condition) and an FW front end which includes all the light mountings with mouldings, grills for nostrils and nose cone. Also included is a GRP Aero
screen. A set of 5&3/4” headlights (Black).
It comes with a Black powder coated roll hoop off Terry Everrals old car, which features side impact bars and is taller than most, again ideal for the
taller driver!
INTERIOR :
260mm suede Momo steering wheel on a removable boss (good for security and access), 12 month old full set of Westfield gauges, lights, switches etc
with a brand new MickMade carbon dash which is exceptionally good quality and weighs less that air I think!! There are a pair of Westfield padded race
seats with all of the mountings, Westfield black harnesses.
I bought this project with all of the best intentions but a baby, 80 hour weeks at work plus loads of personal issues means that I am not
realistically going to be able to scratch this itch for a few years now. I will try and help the new owner as much as possible with identifying what I
think needs to be done. Comes with a build manual, all receipts + a garage full of bits for it!
This is an ideal project for the winter and will be an excellent car for road or track with a really good engine choice that’s a bit different. Get in
touch if you are interested, some detail is available in the started build thread in my sig below.
£6000 (no offers, part exing the wife, dog cat, I cant send it to Nigeria or accept any other currency)

I have to admit I'm not often tempted by cars offered for sale on here but that - at that price..............  Sadly I currently have
neither the money nor the space  Good luck with the sale though - someone is going to get a VERY good car by the sounds of it!

The build has got as far as brake lines in, so there is still some work to do. The only major part that I can think of is a new clutch, other than
that it should be pretty much a mans mechano set!

a mate of mine bought a widebody westfield which was professionally rebuilt with a new chassis, new body parts..more or less everything new....the car
was COMPLETE and ready to drive, fresh mot and everything so clean and tidy you could eat from the engine or any chassis rail. every bolt was shiny
like fresh from the factory. higly tuned crossflow, 5 speed box, new minilight wheels with new semi slick tyres
its was already the "newer" version with the sierra or freelander diff.
after built up the car was driven around 500miles and than sold to him.
the car cost 6000pound around 1 year ago.....and it was advertized for months!!!
so i dont think that car here is a bargain...would say 3.5k would be realisitc.

Alfas...
Thanks for the 'constructive' feedback, however it frustrates me when people feel it is appropriate to provide their 'expert'
pricing opinion on a public forum. The car is worth whatever someone is prepared to pay for it and as 90% of the offers so far have been within £400
of the asking price it cant be to far away. If you are not planning on buying it then please could I ask you to keep your opinions to yourself,
it's not big and it's not clever. Keep to advising the novices on dragons den or whatever / whoever you like to pester in your spare
time.
Why why why are people so bloody daft
Rant over...
