1999 Westfield SEI Kit Car

This Westfield underwent its SVA test on 4 August 1999, and its low mileage is supported by a comprehensive history file and several historic MOT certificates. Wet-weather gear is included in the sale, comprising of a removable hood as well as removable doors with integrated windows. EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES The car is finished in black over a purposeful cabin housing two grey bucket seats with blue Willans harnesses, VDO dials, and a row of rocker switches for the car’s ancillary functions.

It rides on a set of 15-inch six-spoke alloy wheels, shod with Goodyear tyres. The Ford Pinto engine has been fitted with a ‘fast road’ camshaft and twin Weber 40 carburettors, and now makes a dyno-proven 109hp. Accompanying the car is a significant history folder including the build manual, photographs of the car’s build, numerous receipts and invoices, and historic MOT certificates, as well as wet-weather gear, a wheel locking tool, and a wheel centre cap removal tool.

CONDITION The paintwork is reported to be in very good overall condition, with minor stone chips around the bodywork, light scuffs on the wing mirrors, and a very faint scratch under one of the bonnet securing clips. Its spartan cabin is also in good shape, save for a small hole in the driver’s seat backrest, faint signs of use on the steering wheel and handbrake handle, scratches on the switchgear, wear on the driver’s entry sill, and light oxidation on the harness clips. The odometer display only works intermittently, but the seller is not aware of any further electrical or mechanical faults.

The most recent MOT test was conducted on 4 November 2022 and resulted in a first-time pass with advisories for a cracked offside CV boot and a noisy offside front wheel bearing. The seller states that the front wheel bearing has since been rectified. SERVICE HISTORY Project Heaven in Peterborough carried out a major service and set the car up on a rolling road in July 2020.

This included stripping and setting up the carburettors, replacing the control arm bushes, and adjusting the valve clearances. The two previous services were carried out by JDT in May 2019 at 12,840 miles and April 2018 at 11,951 miles. The cam belt and water pump were replaced in December 2013 by Arden Automotive.

SUMMARY This Westfield SEi is an honest example of the breed, presented in good overall condition and upgraded with a ‘fast road’ camshaft and twin Weber 40 carburettors. Offered for sale at No Reserve, it would make a superbly involving weekend toy for any keen driver, best enjoyed on a winding B-road throughout the spring and summer months.
