Cant help with the photos I’m afraid, but the red one has been on eBay a couple of times in the last year, think it was a prototype or a one off, Vauxhall engine in it if I remember correctly. Anyway it looks loads better from the front than that yellow one!

Are you planning a purchase?

Yip was definately on ebay last year. I don't recall it ever getting above £5k either.

Was an SBD 208 XE engine too from memory.

Nice looking motor.

pretty sure that belongs to a member on here now, or it did, "7 in a fancy suit" i think.

But nothing much in his photo archive and doesn't look like he's been on in a while.

Think the Red one now lives in Ireland and was going to be used for a Hillclimb Championship.
It used to belong to a member on the WSCC Boardroom but i think He found it a bit of a handful for road use

Hi this car now belongs to 7 in a fancy suit indeed a member on here the car was origanally a prototype built by westfield and raced for a short time in the 750mc by jack dalmas and then sold to tom laffey who used it for a short time the moulds where brought by us procomp . The car was then sold by tom to some one in scotland and after a lack of time to do anything with the moulds were also sold by us to the same person i belive. After that it seemd to disapear for the next 10-15 years but then turned upagain with the vx fitted as it origially had a xflow. It changed hands a few times and then ended up with it's present owner in ireland and the moulds now back with us procomp . The plan is to use the moulds to produce a new body for our new car in 2007 altho will be quite different to what it is now. the existing moulds were only ever prototype and are now in need of repair . The existig body would not fit over a 7 type chassis as it is more of a front engine rearwheel drive mid seated driver whith the engine sat ontop of the front axle line .

cheers matt
