1998 WESTFIELD S EIGHT

Welcome to the sale of my ex factory demonstrator Westie.

It has a TVR Cerbera 4.5 litre V8 fitted in place of the original engine.

I have owned this 1998 car since 1998 at 980 miles and enjoyed many adventures.

It has a massive history file some of which is listed below.

It was rebuilt by Westifeld factory following an accident in 2021 and has done only 2000 miles since

The overall condition is as nearly new.

It is a kit car with no safety features and a completely different experience to a "normal" sports car.

If this appeals then please contact me and arrange a viewing.

I will be happy to take you for a test drive but as you can imagine unless you have bought the car I won't be able to let you drive on the public road.

Technical details are extensive and some are listed below.

I'm fine to answer questions on specifics when you arrange a viewing.
