Westfield Sport
WESTFIELD SPORTS CARS is easily one of the best known kit car marques having gained recognition beyond the traditional boundaries of this industry. It’s a highly professional company which operates from a large factory in the West Midlands. Its best known model is the SE, which is available in a number of different specifications. They share a high level of development that results in an easy assembly process and a high quality finished result. The Sport is one of the most popular SE variants. The kit is supplied with a brand new Ford engine, with options ranging from a 135bhp 1.6-litre Sigma via a 155bhp version of the same engine, 150bhp Zetec to the range-topping 200bhp 2-litre Duratec. While Westfield offers more hardcore cars for track day use, the Sport is aimed at dual road and circuit use. So while it’s quick and is dynamically responsive for track days, it also has full interior trim, a heated windscreen and weather gear for longer-distance road work. The car is available either as a comprehensive kit (at £14,999), or you can spread the cost with Westfield’s modular packages. Alternatively, you can buy the Sport as a complete, turnkey car. Prices for fully built Westfield Sports begin at £17,999. Either way, it comes with the aftersales back-up and technical support of one of the largest kit car companies in the world.
