The Westfield SE has long been regarded as one of Britain's finest interpretations of the classic lightweight sports car formula. Combining exceptional handling, low weight and exhilarating performance, the SE delivers an analogue driving experience that modern performance cars simply cannot replicate. Whether enjoyed on fast B-roads, touring or track days, the Westfield continues to be one of the most rewarding driver's cars available.
Offered here is a particularly attractive 1997 Westfield SE Wide, finished in a striking combination of dark metallic blue with contrasting yellow nose cone and cycle wings, a classic colour scheme that perfectly suits the car's purposeful character.
Power comes from the ever-popular 1700cc Ford Crossflow engine, renowned for its reliability, tuning potential and distinctive exhaust note. Mated to a five-speed manual gearbox, the lightweight Westfield offers lively performance whilst remaining delightfully simple and inexpensive to maintain.
Displaying just 12,155 miles, the car presents in extremely honest condition throughout. The paintwork retains an excellent shine, the alloy wheels present well and the cockpit has clearly been carefully maintained, with the black trimmed bucket seats, blue four-point harnesses, polished aluminium dashboard and instrumentation all showing minimal wear.
One of the real highlights accompanying this Westfield is its remarkable history file, documenting the car virtually from its inception. Included within the comprehensive portfolio are the original Westfield Sports Cars correspondence, factory collection letter, original pro-forma invoices for the purchase of the kit in 1996, factory price lists, brochures and build information. The history continues with numerous invoices from respected suppliers including Demon Tweeks, Burton Power and other specialist manufacturers, documenting components purchased during the build together with subsequent maintenance and upgrades over the years.
This impressive archive provides a fascinating insight into the original construction of the vehicle and is exactly the type of provenance enthusiasts hope to find with a quality kit-built sports car.
The car is equally well equipped, featuring a polished aluminium dashboard housing full instrumentation, chrome roll-over bar, quick-release style sports steering wheel, four-point harnesses, wind deflectors, full weather equipment and side screens neatly stowed behind the seats. The tidy rear luggage compartment and weather gear make this an ideal companion for touring as well as spirited weekend drives.
The vendor advises the Westfield performs exactly as intended, delivering the responsive steering, agile handling and engaging performance for which these lightweight sports cars have become famous.
With values of well-built Crossflow-powered Westfields continuing to strengthen, examples accompanied by such extensive build documentation and provenance are becoming increasingly sought after.
