It is a pretty little thing. It was at the lotus show last month, it had me fooled for a second, but it has really low sills/pods when you see it in the flesh, and some of the internal panelling seemed to be made of wood. Colour wise i agree its an unusual shade, im red green colour blind, i could swear that it is brown! Hard to put a value on something like that i would have thought, be interested to see where the auction ends, they obviously didnt get any offer close last month when it was offered for sale at donney.

Reducing the sill height reduces the rigidity of the chassis. The nice tight chassis of the Westfield is why I have the car in the first place.

I'd pass. Too much compromise.

Probably about right i would have said for a period 'special' if it sold at that. There was some pretty nasty engineering going on in some of those pics, the fuel tank in particular looked decidedly dodgy in origin and location....

Well, it's not a Westfield. Not an accurate Lotus 11 chassis architecture. Worth a little less than asking.
