Looks to me as a Westy with alloy body.....
Dribble, dribble, dribble.......

I think it is a bargain, an alloy body is nearly as expensive as the whole asking price....
throw in the lotus twincam.........it's a bargain!

Really nice car.
Could not quite work out how the rear clam hinges over the roll bar.

[Westfield 129]

The bodywork is slotted to close over the roll hoop.

really?
very similar to the clearances we have on our bodywork.

The rear and front sections of the bodywork on a Lotus are exactly the same as on a Westfield, except for the material used.
Westfield actually used the bodywork of a real Lotus XI to make the moulds for their fiberglas body.
The only real difference between an lotus XI bodywork and a Westfields is that the doors on a Westfield are longer. (The westy has a longer wheelbase to accomodate a larger cockpit)

There is another Westfield XI forsale, in Italy this time.

A pretty bog standard XI, I think.
Priced at 35000 euros........
