Croc Posted August 8, 2015 Author Share Posted August 8, 2015 (edited) 1999 Westfield at a dealer so the hyperbole is laid on super thick in this advertisement.... 1967 Lotus Super 7 Series 3. This is a Westfield 1 kit which was built in 1999 and has a clean Illinois title as a 1999 special construction. The beating heart of this track killer is a 1700cc Inline 4 cylinder Formula Ford engine built to Super Sprint specs by Andreson. The 1700 features dual side draft Weber carburetors and a free flowing exhaust which allows for 160 HP. The power to weight ratio is incredible when you consider this one is 900 pounds wet without a driver. track killer?! Can a Westfield ever be 900 pounds dry? And this one has clams on it! How streetable is a 160hp crossflow? :ack: This vehicle really is like a street legal go cart and is an absolute terror on a race track Never trust a Westfield driver! :iagree: I find red ones particularly bad but yellow ones must also be the same? Then again, let xcarguy loose in a mobility scooter on track and he would be a terror too! Backing the 1700 is a Quaif 5 speed manual close ratio gearbox which has short throws and is very precise. Other track oriented goodies include: dry sump oil system oil cooler and thermostat 8 gallon custom fuel tank with foam baffling 4 wheel disk brakes with adjustable brake bias aluminum radiator with electric fan and 5 point safety harness. If you wanted something you could hop in on a Saturday morning drive to your local track day or autocross event and then drive home this is the one. Also don't under estimate 100 mile detour to Home Depot excursion on a Saturday morning - works for me! You'll be putting 911s MX-5s and STIs to shame in this street legal race car. Even before I start the engine, I would be ashamed to drive any of those cars and would always want the Westfield! :rofl: Don't you have to see a doctor if you catch an STI? The car is finished in a classic coat of yellow which really fits the Lotus body. Of course it effing does...its effing gel coat! LOL The dash interior panels mirrors and other bits are carbon fiber. The seats are upholstered in green to complete the Lotus color scheme and are a comfortable yet snug place to sit. There are side curtains and a convertible top which can be used when you're caught in a drizzle but this car is best enjoyed topless. Did someone say topless? Its great on the track but will also catch plenty of looks darting in and out of traffic around town. Hello Officer.... The car has just over 4500 miles since being built and is ready for a new enthusiast to take ownership. Located in our St. Louis http://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/dealer/lotus/super-seven/1763637.html Asking $36995 :svengo:in St Louis. All jokes aside - it is an exceptionally well detailed build. There are places where I struggled to recognize it as a Westfield and had to look again to make sure. It looks like it has some Caterham parts mounted on it? Are they called "upgrades"? ;-p I can sort of see why the asking is so high as it is a very nice build with expensive bits on it but.....as we all know....you don't always get your money back from expensive car builds...

Kitcat Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Croc: You commentary on the Westfield ad, above, was pretty hilarious. Keep up the good work! And how about the photos of the R400 in the post above the Westfield comments. Best I have ever seen in any car for-sale ad. So many times the car is pulled out and photographed in front of the garbage cans, one of which has fallen over, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Croc Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 If truly titled and registered in RI I believe this to be almost as rare as one in NJ... Given its CO origins, its easy to register a Caterham in RI as a 1968 Lotus Seven..... :leaving: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnCh Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 That Westfield is a later, fiberglass-bodied pre-lit. The factory switched over to the post-lit body ~1988, so if the 1999 build date claim is correct, it sat around for some time before completion. And with only 4500 miles on odometer, it apparently did a lot of sitting afterwards. -John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panamericano Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Now Croc, let's be charitable. Overpriced crappy clone chassis back for what seems like the third year http://huntsville.craigslist.org/cto/5142851802.html They think the word "museum" is worth an extra zero. I recall, originally, the "museum" had it donated and did not want it. Take off the zero and just under $500 would look OK. One supposes the purple Storker must be sold by now!
