Finished in timeless British Racing
Green, this 1990 Westfield SE Narrowbody perfectly captures the spirit of
lightweight British motoring, blending classic aesthetics with engaging,
analogue performance.
First registered in the UK on 11 April 1990 and
built to Westfield’s well-regarded factory specification, this example presents
as an honest and increasingly desirable iteration of the marque’s early
cars.
At its heart lies a lively 1,588cc Ford GT
Kent engine, upgraded with a ported cylinder head and Kent fast road camshaft,
complemented by an aluminium sump and high-pressure oil pump. The result is a
responsive and characterful power unit that suits the car’s lightweight
philosophy perfectly. Supporting upgrades include an aluminium radiator and Spax
adjustable coil-over suspension, ensuring both reliability and sharp road
manners, while an aluminium fuel tank adds further practicality and
durability.
The driving environment remains true
to the car’s purposeful nature, featuring Corbeau seats and a straightforward
manual transmission that delivers an unfiltered connection between driver and
machine. Sitting on Mini Lite-style wheels, the car’s stance is both
period-correct and visually striking. Accompanying the vehicle is a full set of
beige wet weather gear, including side screens and a tonneau cover, allowing for
more versatile use when conditions demand.
This
Westfield has had just four former keepers and has been in its current ownership
since March 1997, a testament to the enjoyment and satisfaction it offers. The
history file is extensive, containing a collection of receipts documenting work
carried out over the years, alongside nine previous MOT certificates and
original kit build correspondence, providing valuable insight into its life and
upkeep.
Recently recommissioned at a cost
exceeding £2,000, the car is presented in running and driving condition, having
been driven to site and performing as expected during photography and video
capture. The speedometer currently reads just over 9,741 miles. It is offered
with an MOT valid until March 2027, notably with no advisories recorded, and no
scrap marker.
A quintessential example of a
classic British kit car, this Westfield SE Narrowbody offers an engaging driving
experience combined with documented history and long-term ownership. For further
