Westfield Elevens

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.

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........
