The Bolesworth Castle March 2024 Classic & Performance Car Auction
2009 Westfield
Registration - BX09 VAE
Chassis No. - SA9WS1W119X039071
M.O.T. - July 2024
Odometer - TBC
A well-respected builder of sports and kit cars, Westfield’s main model was the Sport, based on Lotus’s classic Seven. This example is presented in British Racing Green, with body-coloured interior highlights and black leather upholstery. Fitted with a powerful Ford Zetec S Sigma four-cylinder 1.6-litre engine with fuel injection and short-throw five-speed manual gearbox, ‘BX09 VAE’ comes with canvas roof, frame, and doors for full wet-weather driving capabilities, stored behind the two-seat cabin and ahead of the full spare wheel. Fitted with Team Dynamics Motorsport alloy wheels to keep weight down, this example of an ultra-lightweight sportscar comes with the original build invoice showing the exact specification. With one owner from new, this Westfield is rated by the vendor as being in impeccable order throughout.
Westfield Sportscars was founded in 1982, initially offering models inspired by the Lotus Seven. Since Caterham Cars bought the rights from Lotus owner Colin Chapman, there were various threats of legal action towards Westfield, before the design was changed enough that, though visually similar, the construction was different. Provided either as kits or factory-produced models, what became known as the Westfield Sport was a mainstay of the company’s offering throughout its history, though with various spin-offs, such as the ‘Mega’ series – Megabusa, Megablade, and MegaS2000 – which used powerful and high-revving engines from the motorbike industry (Suzuki Hayabusa and Honda Fireblade) or Honda’s 2.0-litre VTEC unit from the S2000 sports car. Other models such as the track-focused XTR2 and classic-inspired racers like the XI were also produced, before the company went into administration in June 2022.
In summary:
· Pristine example of a classically-styled, but thoroughly modern sportscar
· Fitted with a powerful Ford Sigma unit
· One owner from new
