The other Westfield Eleven

[bobwhittaker]

Does anyone remember Westfield producing a variant on the Eleven , in very limited numbers (6 or 8 in total ) , which was more roadster biased .
It was slightly bigger and had a " fuller figure " than the original and was intended to use a turboed cvh similar to the XR3I Turbo . I have memory
of seeing one on the Westfield stand at Stoneleigh a good number of years ago.
I attended a cars and coffee meet in my Eleven yesterday , 18.07.24 , when a chap came to talk and show meet photographs of the car he had
owned . He was surprised when I recognised the car and was able to talk about it .
If anyone is interested the location and timing of the gathering is the 3rd Thursday in the month upto september at The Bridge Cafe in the village
of Wray near to Carnforth in Lancashire ( Bikes on the 1st Thusday ). It from 14.30 onwards , well organised , an excellent varied turnout ,come
and go as you please and it is free , one drawback is 75% of the parking is on grass .
Cheers , Bob Whittaker

hello Bob,

Good to see you take the XI out occassionally.

I do remember the Eleven variant called the Westfield Sports. A friend of mine used to race one of these. I'll see if I can dig out a few photos.

Attached is the Westfield sales brochure.

Hi there Jack , that is the car I remember , definitely " A fuller figure " than the usual Eleven . On another topic ,
have you done the " UK Tour " on your Honda " Step Through " yet ? If not don't forget to come and view the
delights of The Ribble Valley and the rest of Rural Lancashire and The Yorkshire Dales ( Our equivalent of " The Canyons ". )
Cheers BOB

photo's taken from race seasons 2000 to 2005, Zandvoort and Assen.

The yellow car is driving a 2L Zetec, the blue Sports with proud Union Jack livery on 2nd photo had an Opel 2L. Apparantly a longer wheelbase car, details fail atm.

Digging around my archives, I have a few more scans for the Sport to add (pages may end up in the wrong order). They are small scans but it should be able to zoom in just enough to read the text.

From the brochure?

From a magazine article?

Thanks for posting that article. Interesting read. I had no idea at all that Westfield produced hard tops for our cars. Never seen one mentioned before.

I believe this car was a sport as well. It appeared on eBay a couple of times a few years ago. The description said " a 1700sprint ohv x flow which produces about 140bhp" and "the car was originally built as a sprint/ hillclimb car so has a high spec engine to include high compression pistons, lightened flywheel and fully baffled steel sump." It was also fitted with a 5 speed gearbox.

Looks very TVR from the back!

And here's another one that resides in the Netherlands.

Its xflow has been replaced with a 175 hp Zetec.
