325bhp V8 Westfield for sale.

I have probably the best Westfield Seight in the country for sale.

http://www.dtperformancecars.co.uk/used-WESTFIELD-ROADSTER-Nuneaton-Warwickshire-865782








2008 originally Factory built Westfield Seight. on a '08 plate.

The engine is a 4.6litre blue printed V8 engine brand new from RPI engineering installed 2013 - totally new build and block with RPI engine number, New Coscast block - one of the very last made - not reworked old castings,
NEW Merlin F85 big valve heads - not reworked old castings
Merlin rocker covers.
ACT carbon injection plenum £3k plus alone,
ported inlet manifold
Tornado chip
Brand New Tremmec T5 world class gear box 2014 - so much nicer to use than Ford Type 9s I'm used to!
New built 2014 - 3.14 LSD diff - gives incredible traction - (rare ratio)
4-into-1 stainless manifolds.

Engine and box have done under 3000miles.

New 2015 Mulfab high capacity radiator - seems to cool very well.
Baffled sump
MOCAL oil cooler
MOCAL remote oil filter
Baffled fuel tank with gauge (that works well!!)
Swirl pot

Team Dynamics 15 inch wheels 2015
205/50/15 Toyo R888 fronts
225/50/15 Toyo R888 rears
new GAS adjustable shocks 2015
Westfield Aluminium front and rear uprights
Independant double wishbone rear suspension
Westfield (HiSpec) 4 pot front calipers (NEW July 2016)
Ferodo DS2500 pads (NEW July 2016)
Playskool Motorsport full cage with side bars,
Playskool Geo set up
Carbon dash
Carbon kick plates
Carbon rear boot lid
Carbon effect lights
Carbon lighweight race seats with Willans 4-point harnesses
Carbon-kevlar rear diffuser
MickMade front carbon splitter
2016 VARLEY red top race battery
2015 high torque starter motor
full set of RACETECH gauges
Momo removable steering wheel
Momo harness pads
Longacre wideview NASCAR mirror
Viper immobiliser with 3 fobs. 2 sets of keys.

The car is in striking orange and blue gelcoat bodywork which is in excellent condition. Orange sections are newer and mint.

I think the car is ~325bhp / 680kg, whatever the numbers are I can guarantee you it has an unruly amount of torque. I have had quick Sevens before culminating in a ~200bhp Vauxhall redtop with a sequential 'box, but this thing is on another planet, especially through 3rd gear! It also sounds like a thunderstorm being sucked into a volcano!!

Note mileage may increase and the spec of the car may grow over the coming weeks, looking for some suitable twin carbon silencers to fit.
I'll be at Donington on Aug 8th for a track evening in it if anyone would like to view/pax ride.

£25,000 ono. Not cheap, but it is Caterham R500/620R levels of performance with a less highly strung/more reliable powertrain. And it's rarer.

Located LE10, contact Patrick on 07904061484

Car was brutally fast. I'd need a few more trackdays to get used to it properly really



Also price reduced to £22,000 as I now have my eye on something else to replace this.

cheers,
Patrick

From last night. Despite the perfect track conditions, it was poor conditions for GoPro. Low Sun ruined my in-cockpit videos so this was the only half decent footage I got (and it wasn't one of the better laps), and typical poor Go-Pro sound quality I'm afraid.

Maybe I'll try an on-road video soon

bump. Thanks Paul.

I got this on the scales tonight.

It weighs 662 kg with a 1/4 tank of fuel on board.
52%/48% Front/Rear split
49.3%/50.7% Left/Right

That's almost exactly 500bhp / ton. I think if I can find some nice carbon silencers and get them fitted it will save a few more kg and push it past that magic figure

bump. I've been enjoying this but sadly it needs to go to make space in the garage for the new racecar. The clutch is now showing signs that it will need to be replaced in the near future (still drives fine but slipping under full torque now).

In light of that, and because I don't have time to fit a replacement myself, I'll consider (sensible) lower offers...

cheers,
Pat

Bump! Not had a jot of interest! Make me an offer, you might get lucky as it will go to a dealer at the end of the month otherwise...

Thanks for today Pat, good to meet you.
I can confirm that the Westy is a cracking build, Its going to get plenty of use down south with SKCC.
The only problem is I now have too many cars
