MV8 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 $18,500? Looks like someone is being coerced to "sell", but making sure it doesn't. Not a Lotus, CAT, kit, locost, or even a track car; just bits that may need to be redone just to function or at least knock the rust off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good call. Hello from the winning bidder. I’m originally from the UK and had a couple of Caterhams previously but sold my last one in 2015 when moving to Germany. I’ve been a longtime lurker here since moving to the US in 2017 keeping an eye out for a 7 to buy, but buying a house 3 years ago and having a 3rd kid delayed things a little. While this one isn’t my ideal spec or colour, I do like the Zetec engine and am happy to DIY the things that need doing so the fact it was only an hour down the road from me made this a good opportunity for me. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats and well bought. Even if you had to drop $5-6k getting it sorted out you'd still be ahead vs others that have sold recently, and especially not having to pay for cross country shipping, and being able to going to go and see it in person. Judging by the pics it does seem to have had a bit of a hard life for a car with only 9000 miles. Hence the final price I guess! Look forward to following your adventures!

David Hansen Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 (edited) *** UPDATE - With the help of member JohnCh providing some guidance I managed to secure this car. Occasionally you get an immediate win, and in this case the car had an oil leak that needed addressed and was a negotiating point in the sale. When getting the car home I discovered that the oil filter that had wiggled a bit loose creating a mess but that mess saved me $2k on the sale price. Since an oil change and cleanup nary a drip to be seen (yeah!). Looking forward to the adventure and many many thanks to Croc for making these exhaustive "cars for sale" lists because otherwise I would not have found this car that was literally in my back yard (7.4 miles to be exact). So can someone clue me into how a car built in 1990 is titled as a 1965? thank Dave Hi folks, I just went and viewed this car https://www.facebook.com/share/LLhSsxrQopt9B2ht/ It runs and drives nice but the gelcoat is crazing a bit in spots and the hood had an off where the owner forgot to fully latch it down. The good - It is about 14 miles from where I live - no shipping. 21 year second owner since 3,500 miles (now 14,xxx) - mature fellow Not tracked or raced runs and drives well - has had some attention from Ivey engines here in Portland. megasquirt with individual throttle bodies seem to function correctly and has good power - was dyno tuned car seems overall sorted mechanically Bad - Cosmetically about a 7 if I am honest. I am sure that the gelcoat could do with some serious polishing and the color and scratches would mostly disappear. Interior is not even detailed and showing age / wear commensurate with the years. Ugly green inserts in the seats. Hood will need refinished / painted as the scratches are too deep to polish out with any success. Tires need replacing because of age He is wanting $20k and I think it is a bit high for its current cosmetic condition. What do you all think?

JohnCh Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 When properly sorted, Westfields are very nice cars. If it's mechanically sound, the price sounds reasonable given the fuel injection and Jay Ivey connection. I can't comment on the body condition other than to say Westfields are unpainted and put the color in the gelcoat. Painting the bonnet will never be a great match with the rest of the body unless you paint or wrap everything. Freshening the interior, however, should be viewed as an opportunity to make it yours. Cars from that era used very low quality carpet and handbrake/gearshift gators that unnecessarily cheapen the interior. It's not hard to change. Here are a couple of photos that show my Westfied when I bought it in 2001 and what it looks like today. That's not to say my aesthetic is the way to go, but simply that making changes is not that difficult and make a huge difference. There are also a lot of parts available in the UK to upgrade the suspension and brakes. Feel free to send me a PM if you want to talk more about this car and things to consider. -John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
